< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 461 OF 461 ·  Later Kibitzing> Feb-24-26    stone free or die: Quote my <Krabbe> post too, <Suzz> so <jn> can see it! Feb-24-26    Susan Freeman: < stone free or die: And also here: Tim Krabbe (Chessgames - Losers)> Feb-24-26    jnpope: Chessgames - TV and Films now exists. Louis Stumpers Are you suggesting we migrate the games to a new Louis Stumpers PID and rename the existing one to... what? <Chessgames - Puzzles and Enigmas>? Feb-24-26    Stonehenge: Something like that, yes. Feb-24-26    jnpope: <Chessgames - Losers> I have no idea what <MissScarlett> is posting in the Tim Krabbe forum. Can someone expound upon this request? <sakredkow: ...and (non-chess) books? :-)> Perhaps we should rename Chessgames - Homer to <Chessgames - Literature>? Feb-25-26    stone free or die: Hint- https://www.irlchess.com/puzzles/kr... Feb-25-26    Real Dump Trump: <stone free or die: Hint- https://www.irlchess.com/puzzles/kr...> Echo-plexing for <jn>'s benefit. Feb-25-26    gezafan: Chessgames.com has a page for politics, sports and music. Maybe it should have a page for humor. Such a page would probably be very popular. Feb-26-26    OhioChessFan: <Chessgames.com has a page for politics, sports and music. Maybe it should have a page for humor. > Joker (Computer) Of course, our resident spoilsports don't see the charm in Player Pages used for jokes, stumpers, boring topics, etc. Feb-26-26    MissScarlett: I direct Steve's attention to Prague Masters (2026) (kibitz #11). I can manually fix the games but the problem would seem to be at your end. Feb-26-26    jnpope: <Susan Freeman: < stone free or die: And also here: Tim Krabbe (Chessgames - Losers)>> If <Susan> explicitly signs off on this I should have time this weekend to do the split and migration. <<Stonehenge: While you're at it: Louis Stumpers.> <jnpope: Are you suggesting we migrate the games to a new Louis Stumpers PID and rename the existing one to... what? <Chessgames - Puzzles and Enigmas>?>> And should this be done too? Feb-27-26    Susan Freeman: sure thank you :) Feb-27-26    DaltriDiluvi: I would like to make the following query to the CG database: "Give me all of Hikaru Nakamura's blitz games (but none of his rapid or slow games)". I think there's already a way to do this, but I cannot remember it :-( Feb-28-26    Chessical: <DaltriDiluvi> You can do this by using the Games Table on the player's own page. It allows you to diffentiate by game type. Feb-28-26    DaltriDiluvi: Thank you, <Chessical>! It works like a charm. Feb-28-26    jnpope: The first migration has been completed. The old Tim Krabbe is now Chessgames - Losers And a new Tim Krabbe now exists. Mar-01-26    jnpope: The second migration has been completed. The old Louis Stumpers is now Chessgames - Puzzles. And a new Louis Stumpers now exists. Also, <Chessgames - Homer> was renamed to Chessgames - Literature. If there are any more hijacked biographies in need of a split/migration please notify User: Susan Freeman and if she signs-off on creating a devoted forum for the hijacked biography's topic I can add it to my <TO DO> list. Mar-02-26    offramp: Could you add this one? 𝐒𝐏𝐎𝐑𝐓 <𝙲𝚑𝚎𝚜𝚜♔♕♖♗♘♙ D͟a͟t͟e͟l͟i͟n͟e͟: Iceland🇮🇸, early March 2026. The most inhospitable chess tournament ever held is taking place on the wind-blown <Skàksamband Islands>, north by north-west of the Iceland mainland, pop. 6. Some of Iceland's hardiest GMs have made the dangerous journey to the desolate volcanic <Skàksamband Islands>. Many of the players are sleeping on their palliasses in the lighthouse. Ooh matron! I salute <FM Conor O`Donnell> who paddled the whole journey in a bloody coracle! It took him two days to keep the bloody thing <𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒂𝒓𝒚>. In such frozen conditions, no wonder he got a Gretarsson! First prize is a tin of <𝓢𝓾𝓻𝓼𝓽𝓻𝓸̈𝓶𝓶𝓲𝓷𝓰>. Second prize is TWO tins of <𝓢𝓾𝓻𝓼𝓽𝓻𝓸̈𝓶𝓶𝓲𝓷𝓰>.> Mar-05-26    MissScarlett: Further complaints about repetition in the <POTD>s. It's apparent that the person tasked with the job either does not have the leisure or the interest/ability to adequately perform the role. I want to make it clear that I am not volunteering to replace them! Mar-05-26    stone free or die: Does that mean User: kev is no longer doing them? If so, might an official notice, with proper thanks, be in order? He provided a vital service to <CG> for many, many years (decades?). . Mar-05-26    Susan Freeman: Kevin is an old timer at CG. He was a close friend of my son. I'll find out what's going on with the puzzles. CG has a system of double checking these too. Strange. BTW, <SFoD> no official good byes are necessary. Mar-05-26    stone free or die: <<Suzz> BTW, <SFoD> no official good byes are necessary.> Guess that means <kev> is still doing the puzzles. That makes the recent behavior all the more curious then. Mar-07-26    MissScarlett: It's that time again.......clear the <GOTD> list except for the last entry: <1157727|J Thor|E Scholl|Thor's Immortal (beatgiant)> Mar-07-26    MissScarlett: It’s the weekend…to absent friends. Mar-07-26    Check It Out: The QOTD is by Fischer, <Is it against the law to kill a reporter>, with his name hyperlinked so I clicked on it: <Unknown player 'robert james fischer'. Try our search engine?> Poor Fischer has sunk to new lows. Jump to page #   (enter # from 1 to 461) search thread:    < Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 461 OF 461 ·  Later Kibitzing>
