Kibitzer's Corner
Feb-09-06  iamverywellatchess: A classic example of "looking for the check-mate"! The horse does much damage, in black's quest to "look for the check-mate"!

Horses are essentile when "looking for the check-mate"!

Thank you very much! I agree!

Feb-09-06  blingice: I disagree. ♘s can't get checkmates unless teamed with something else or get a smothered checkmate.
Feb-10-06  iamverywellatchess: "Horses make queens trembull with delight. A check-mate is not found if not without a horse!" This is a comment by Aswalt Grover one of the best chess players in the history of Kansas of the United States! I am sure we all know what he is talking over!
Feb-10-06  Jim Bartle: Not to distract from these erudite observations, but is Nashkovsky's first name really "Nuke 'em"? Sounds like a name from "Dr. Strangelove."
Feb-10-06  iamverywellatchess: "Erudite" from Russian language:

Erude meaning to be impotent and brash

Dites meaning to have one or many arms

I do not understand how this applise to the posts! Please explain hard to me!

Feb-10-06  Jim Bartle: It doesn't. It refers to the player's first name, Nukhim.
Feb-10-06  blingice: As cited in <The American Heritage of the English Language>: "ADJECTIVE: Characterized by erudition; learned.

...

Middle English erudit, from Latin eruditus, past participle of erudire, to instruct : e-, ex-, ex- + rudis, rough, untaught; see rude."

Sorry. Way off. Notice the title of the dictionary is <The American Heritage Dictionary of the ENGLISH Language>.

And why are all of your etymological explanations drawing from Russian?

And the search on Google for the man you mentioned showed nothing regarding Chess. He must've A. been not very good, or B. fictional, because no one who plays Chess well speaks the same broken English that you do.

Feb-10-06  iamverywellatchess: Aswalt Grover is not in the Google. He is my neighborhood, but will beat anyone here but me. This, he is the best chess player in Kansas history!

Mr. Grover has a mother that is even larger than he! She has played many 1. c4! openings and showed me once the up-follow move of 2. c5!

Feb-11-06  blingice: How can he be the best player in Kansas if he can't beat you?

And what do you mean when you say "larger"?

By the way, the opening you refer to is awful.

Feb-11-06  Jim Bartle: Ah, but verywell has analyzed 2. c5 through to "the check-mate," ending by pushing the f-pawn up the screen and turning it into a horse.
