Jul-08-04  roses4donna: I would like to play a game some time .
Jul-09-04  Lawrence: <roses4donna>, this is a site for studying games and kibitzing, not for playing, but if you look on the "homepage" you'll find a list of places where you can play.
May-12-05  soberknight: Appleberry: the next Snapple flavor?

  TheAlchemist: Appleberry? Is this another genetically mutated fruit?
May-12-05  SilverRook2000: Are you the Marty Appleberry that used to be friends with Alan Kobernaut many long years ago? When Alan moved to Chicago he played with us at the Park Forest Chess Club and he used to mention you frequently.
May-13-05  soberknight: <SilverRook2000> I don't know if Mr. Appleberry reads these comments. This is not, strictly speaking, his website. However, you can safely assume that the number of people in the world named Martin Appleberry is very, very small. :)
May-13-05  MoonlitKnight: Mmmm, appleberry. Sounds juicy.
May-13-05  MoonlitKnight: I know what you're thinking, but I didn't mean it like that!
Jun-20-06  Rocafella: What an enthralling biography. Nearly as good as <tpstar>'s! ;)

Jun-20-08  hedgeh0g: Do NOT mess with fruit!
Jun-20-08  GEWKS: Thanks BIDMONFA for the link. The photo confirms the ID. I knew Marty in the 70's. He claimed to be from Huntsville, AL. Apparently he is now French.
Jun-20-08  swordfish: How did this guy get to be player of the day?
Jun-20-08  jperr75108: hhhmmm. hm.
Oct-01-09  Buck R F Gordon: MA has at least 1 game cited in at least 2 MCO editions. I played MA and AKobernat at the Huntsville AL C.C. Others at the HCC were: KW WW JR MB CS CI RD(2) Roark. At least 2 of these were still in Huntsv as of 3-4 yrs ago.
Jun-20-10  wordfunph: <swordfish: How did this guy get to be player of the day?>

  FSR: I was also sure Marty Appleberry was a Southerner, and saw him at some big tournaments in Chicago in the '70s.

Jun-20-11  theodor: <<TheAlchemist>: Appleberry? Is this another genetically mutated fruit?> what about Applebee (aussy golfplayer)? a flying apple? happy birthday, dear appleberry! you bit me by 6 days
Jun-20-11  hedgeh0g: His cousin is Mickey Blackberry, the inventor of the Blackberry handheld device.
Dec-21-12  eleaticus: Yes, Marty's mother lived in Huntsville. I knew him and lived with him in Atlanta during the days of the hippy migration to that area. He played at the Aurora Methodist Youth Center and the Stein Club, both on Peachtree Street. When he first showed up I staked him to a tourney entry; he won, and I played my first tourney. Later he drove/delivered for UPS, and married and moved to California (in whatever order). Definitely NOT a Frenchman. When I checked the USCF today, they showed a top rating of 2394; strange in a way because his mother told me he had given up chess!
Dec-21-12  eleaticus: Oh. He played 1. e4, although I played a Benko against him once.
Dec-21-12  Shams: Family dog is Bugsy Dingleberry. Lovely labrador with a notable shaven patch.
