  offramp: Just yesterday I was looking at the Lasker - Tarrasch World Championship Match (1908). There is a slight oddity in that match.

In game three, Lasker vs Tarrasch, 1908, Tarrasch had two queens, and in game 4, Tarrasch vs Lasker, 1908, Lasker had the two queens. In both cases there were 3 queens on the board.

Apr-18-15  thegoodanarchist: "The Importance of Being Earnest" was the play in which Mary Jane had the lead role, in Spider-man II (the one with Tobey Maguire).
Apr-18-15  thegoodanarchist: And holy cow, I didn't realize Oscar Wilde lived so long ago. I always guessed he was around for the early 20th century, but alas he died in 1900.
