| Apr-01-19 | | RookFile: And Bobby Fischer sweeps the field, winning every US championship he plays in. Oh wait, he's not playing. |
|
| Apr-01-19 | | wordfunph: it seems Liang played against 2100 player.
awonderful victory w/ black.. |
|
| Apr-01-19 | | wordfunph: this game must be featured in one of Adorjan's books "Black is Ok" series. |

 | | HeMateMe: It's no Wonder he Won, with such nice endgame technique. Very common R+N+Ps position here, but easy to blow if you don't know how to play it. |
|
| Apr-02-19 | | bubuli55: “Shock and Aw” |
|
| Apr-02-19 | | bubuli55: Don’t confuse it with
Suck and Aw |
|
| Apr-02-19 | | bubuli55: Or ...
Aw So Nice |
|
| Apr-02-19 | | Captain Hindsight: I wouldn't say Filipinos wouldn't have any fun. |
|
| Apr-02-19 | | wordfunph: this game will haunt So and looking for revenge next time they meet. |
|
| Apr-02-19 | | wordfunph: 16-year-old Liang with black drubbing a veteran 2700 So. a bitter pill to swallow. |
|
| Apr-02-19 | | torrefan: Yet he swallowed it, including the wrapper |
|
| Apr-03-19 | | wordfunph: another future win and Liang can call So a customer. |
|
| Apr-03-19 | | Pulo y Gata: Right now he is just being given samples of the product. The future customer seem to like the free taste though. |
|
| Apr-03-19 | | rexb: Good game. |
|
| Apr-03-19 | | tarlzic 1966: Got rolled by this kid twice in Chicago even before he won his FM title.his brother is a strong expert . |
|
| Apr-03-19 | | wordfunph: <tarlzic 1966> you are now on the same boat with 2700+ So. |

"
I went frantically mad with chess. I bought a chess-board. I bought Il Calabrese. I shut myself up in my room and spent days and nights there with a will to learn all the games by heart, to cram them into my head willy-nilly, to play alone without end or remission. After two or three months working in that fine way, and after unimaginable endeavours, I went to the Cafe with a lean and sallow face, and nearly stupid. I made a trial, playing with Monsieur Bagueret again. He beat me once, twice, twenty times.

I know that feeling. One time I played blitz against a NM and I lost 5 maybe 7 times straight. And like the most sensible thing to do was turn tail. |

 | | Breunor: Not 22 Nxf4? |
|
| May-05-25 | | goodevans: So made a couple of dubious exchange sacs, 22.Qc2 and 30.Rxd5, and on both occasions Liang declined. I'm wondering whether So would have done this against a more experienced opponent and whether Liang would have been so reticent against a less illustrious one. |

 | | offramp: This game started a pun-fever. The kibitzers went totally, totally mental! There are 2 pages of kibitzing, and no less that 41 pun attempts at title for this game. <Bubuli55> posted 5 attempts and one of them was chosen. The kibitzing here reminds me of the car chase at the end of <It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, etc World>. Perhaps all the people were looking for A Big Wonder. |

 | | Sally Simpson: <Hi offramp>
You often find that here. The actual game is ignored as the pun discussion takes over.
The next Stockfish upgrade will come with a pun generator. These two have played each other a few times and the other games are as yet not punned. Awonder Why? 'It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World.' Great film. The Big W. |

| May-05-25 | | Thegamelover: < bubuli55: “Shock and Aw”> I was there during the "real" Shock and Awe. We managed to go through. |

 | | eternaloptimist: Awonder played the endgame exceptionally well to get the win! I'm actually the first person ever to get an autograph from Awonder! That's the only “first” autograph that I've ever gotten. I saw him @ the 2018 US Championship which was his first US Championship ever. He looked really surprised when I asked him for an autograph and said, “Wow nobody’s ever asked me for an autograph before!” He was only 15 when he played in the 2018 Championship. He won the 2017 US Junior Championship which qualified him to play in the 2018 US Championship. I met Wesley last year in St Louis & saw Awonder last year there as well. Both of them are really nice guys. I mentioned to Awonder that I’m the guy that got his first autograph back in 2018 <goodevans> You made a very good and intriguing kibitz! |
