| Jun-14-18 | | Pawn Dillinger: <paavoh:Not even the Lightning Kid is safe from the attack by Father Time.> Never mind blitz or classical chess, or even this tournament. You are aware that Anand is the defending World Rapid champion, right? I don't think Father Time really had much to say to Anand in 2017. |

| Jun-14-18 | | ChessHigherCat: <jphamlore>: Thanks for the tip, it looks like a great book. <Guys & Co.> I really like her voice and the rest of the package, and she's always so cheerful and unpretentious. On top of that, I like her commentary because it's refreshing to hear her reason and change her mind like a human being instead of the chessbots who just read from Stockfish or from theory. |
|
| Jun-14-18 | | ChemMac: <jphamlore> There were already three novels in print called ,"The Mating Game", AND a psychology book and one about, I think, about wolves, AND there was a movie.
Houska could have changed her title a little. |
|
| Jun-14-18 | | WorstPlayerEver: So just beat Naka in 10 moves. With Black. |
|
| Jun-14-18 | | dunkenchess: Rapid games belong to GM Wesley So. Let's go to Blitz. |
|
| Jun-14-18 | | posoo: i HAVE to give credit to da man WOZLUS even tho i think he needs to SPEAK OUT against da crims of DOTERTE. God is NOT gret if u kill drug dealers.
I BET DA BLITS tornament dos not go his way. |

| Jun-14-18 | | WorstPlayerEver: PS if it's cg's purpose to be a troll site, then they have succeeded. Y'all might think that's funny. But not with my money. Just saying. |

 | | FSR: <jphamlore: Jovanka Houska has also written several books. Curiously at the moment her Wikipedia entry has no mention of her romance novel The Mating Game> Can't say that anymore. |
|
| Jun-14-18 | | ChessHigherCat: <FSR:>
<Can't say that anymore.> "That anymore!", nyaa, nyaa, nyanyaaa, nyaaa.
(just to provide WPE with the weighty intellectual discourse he yearns for) The "Mating Game" is only $5 on Amazon in the Kindle version. Have e-books mostly replaced paper books in the US now? That could be bad news for the lumberjacks, since they wouldn't have to chop down thousands of acres of forest every day. |
|
| Jun-14-18 | | WorstPlayerEver: Congrats to Wesley! |

< [...] < batongol: < [...] In the picture, Judith is watching the game of Wesley.>>It is a) Susan Polgar not Judith and b) the picture is NOT from the Leuven 2018 tournament. > > And c) <Judit> Polgar's name is not "Judith". ;s |
|
| Jun-14-18 | | john barleycorn: < Annie K.: ...
And c) it's <Judit>, not "Judith", Polgar. ;s> Funny. I said it isn't "Judith" and seemingly "Judit" is not "Judith". |
|
| Jun-14-18 | | posoo: BOBWORCESTER,
there is NOTHING more CREPEY than wen chessplayors SLOBER over da female players in da game! Like realy is it any wonder dat sometimes a woman mite enjoy a little CBT???? U shod look into it Mr. Worcester. |

| | Annie K.: <jb> yeah, I changed my post because the first version was ambiguous. :) I just meant to say that regardless of whether it was Judit or Susan there (I didn't watch, so I want to avoid seemingly commenting on that part), Judit Polgar's name has never been "Judith". Judit <is> the Hungarian equivalent of the English Judith, but we don't take the liberty of renaming other players because their names have English equivalents - or we'd be talking about "Michael/Mike" Tal, "Joseph/Joe" Capablanca, "Victor" Korchnoi, "William/Bill" Steinitz etc. |

My best (female) friend from 67-69 was Rita from Hungary. As Denmark took many refugees.Every day we took our bikes to school and also made some homework.But more often we listened to Beatles,Stones,Kinks etc. Those were the days :) |

| Jun-14-18 | | yhehy: GM WiseLey , AlphaSo Mode :)) |
|
| Jun-14-18 | | Conrad93: Wesley So is top 2-3 in almost every rating category. It's crazy how the the U.S. has three players in the top ten. |
|
| Jun-15-18 | | paavoh: Intriguingly, more Black than White wins (if I counted them properly). |
|
| Jun-15-18 | | jphamlore: Wesley So has an amazing capacity to self-correct something that is a problem with his chess game. I just wish he had had someone he could have trusted to be his trainer through Candidates. |

| | FSR: <Annie K.> "William" <was> Steinitz's first name in the latter part of his life. As chessgames.com's bio of the man says, Wilhelm Steinitz <emigrated to the USA in 1883, taking out US citizenship, living in New York for the rest of his life, and changing his first name to "William".> |

| | FSR: <paavoh: Intriguingly, more Black than White wins (if I counted them properly).> You're right - 13-12! I can't imagine that there are many tournaments, at whatever time control, where Black wins more often than White. See generally my award-winning Wikipedia article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First.... Remarkable. |

| Jun-15-18 | | gregory2188: Congrats GM Wesley So! Well done!
Hello chess lovers. Anyone knows where to play chess in Edinburgh 🏴. I’m just one avid chess patzer who loves losing as much as winning.

| Jun-15-18 | | jphamlore: Is Nakamura going to be spending an extra day in Belgium so that he is as rested as possible for his stunt match with various versions of Komodo? https://www.chess.com/news/view/nak... Even if the event is a farce, at least let Nakamura be at somewhat close to a rested optimal state. |
|
| Jun-15-18 | | paavoh: @FSR: Thanks for the link to your <Wikipedia article>, an impressive essay indeed! My limited experience is that when I'm White, Black usually equalizes but when I have the Black pieces, I struggle to do the same... |
