virginmind Member since Apr-06-06 · Last seen May-24-13 dont forget to enjoy, if possible, every single day of your lifetime. dont forget to realise, in each day, that you are so lucky to be alive, and take a look around you at the sheer diversity of this world. i can only compare the diversity of chess positions with the overwhelming multitude of occuring circumstances around us.

Still, at the end, while answering a question about women's ability in chess, Garry's attitude and body language is a little bit...hm, over..over...how should I put it? :) http://en.chessbase.com/Home/TabId/...      Apr-27-13 Ponomariov vs Nakamura, 2013   virginmind: OK I was not aware of those regulations (also didn't look at most of the other games) - so I take back my previous comment.

Jul-11-11    David2009: Thanks VM! (how to copy Fritz 12 analysis): <virginmind: <David2009> you really shouldn't need to copy it by hand. if fritz 11 has this possibility i dont see why fritz 12 wouldn't: place your pointer in the area/window where the analysis appears, right click, choose "clip analysis", paste it in the desired page.> Sep-01-11    ahmadov: Congratulations on Parligras qualifying for the next round...

Feb-01-12    moronovich: <virginmind: i'm pretty well, thanks, and hope you're fine too. contemplating some extremely low temperatures we have lately - but apparently it's on a larger european scale. you never know what to expect with this global warming - i wonder if it will lead to the other extreme in a few months: an utterly hot summer...> Glad to hear you are fine.And yes,we never know what to expect from the global warming. But right now I am enjoying the winter.7-8 cm´s snow and a lot of beautiful sunshine.That is one of my best conditions. I still have memories from being one year old and almost everything was frozen and I totally denied wearing a wintercap.I wanted to study the trains and ferryes without any blinkers ! those were the days as those are now. All the best virgin and see you around ! Feb-15-12    virginmind: 7-8 cm? hah! it's 50 cm where i live and well above 1 m elsewhere in the country. i'd say the worst winter we've got in romania in the past 50 years or so. also freezing-wise it's the worst, as the death toll has risen to 79. i've got a feeling that after this we will get an extremely hot summer. all the best to you too! Feb-16-12    moronovich: Hi <virginmind> ! Well yu are definately the one who can talk about real snow! Mine was at best a personal sdeshow;). And I dont hope that it causes too much trouble for you,though the situation for the country sounds pretty rough. So I cross my fingers and hope that mother nature will show some mercy. See you up the road and do you btw know when the next biggest(RR)tournament will take place ? All the best.
