This is clearly a dead drawn endgame position with opposite coloured bishops and 3 pawns on the kingside. They were moving the pieces back and forth: <1...Kh6 2.Bf4+ Kg7 3.Be5+ Kh6 4.Bf4+ Kg7>

when white played the List <5.Bd6> shouting <Check!>. Black who was in time trouble thought about a further pendulum manoeuvre and moved <5...Kh6> and said a bit condescending:

"That's no check."

Well, he was right: <6.Bf8#>

20. Your supply of brain cells is finally down to manageable size.

I'm amazed you're not a better loser, after all the experience you've had.

I'm kinda tired of half-breeds and moochers and strangers hangin' around here.

You have succeeded in becoming the perfect failure.

You are your mother's daughter. A scheming, blackmailing little tramp.

Nobody here but us rich folks.

There was a time I wouldn't waste a minute on you. I'd simply have your legs broken.

Well, what's a family for if it can't take care of its own losers?

You got no morals, you got no scruples. You might be worthy of me yet.

That's Mama's chair. Nobody sits in it but her.

I expect to find you in my bed tonight. I'll probably be late. Wait up for me.

Katherine, don't threaten me honey, you're way out of your league.

Say, why don't you have that junior plastic surgeon you married design you a new face: one without a mouth!

Revenge is the single most satisfying feeling in the world.

Ray never was comfortable eating with the family; we do use knives and forks.

You couldn't find any oil under the hood of my car if I gave you a golden stick to do it!

Never interfere with a man who's correcting his wife!

The only thing that is screwed up in this office Barnes is your head, which I would be more than happy to serve on a silver platter if I weren't worried about my family getting food poisoning!

Mary Lee, if you don't hurry, someone else is gonna get your street corner!

Go to bed Sue Ellen, there's nothing uglier than a woman who can't handle her liquor!

Don't forgive and never forget; Do unto others before they do unto you; and third and most importantly, keep your eye on your friends, because your enemies will take care of themselves!

I'm sure Ray will be great in the ranching business momma; he might even be able to tell one end of the horse from the other!

JR.: "Well, last night we went to the Oil Baron's and we ran into that termite brother of yours!" Pam: "Are you talking to me?"
J.R.: "Anyone else in here gotta termite for a brother ?"

Sue Ellen: Tell me, J.R., which slut are you going to stay with tonight? J. R. What difference does it make? Whoever it is has got to be more interesting than the slut I'm looking at right now.

I wouldn't give you the dust off my car.

Once you lose your integrity, the rest is easy.

A cardinal rule of politics - never get caught in bed with a live man or a dead woman.

Money speaks all languages.

J.R. Ewing doesn't get ulcers... he gives 'em!

A conscience is like a boat or an airplane. If you feel you need one, rent it.

I have meetings all day with people who don't know what a shark I am.

That boy has everything he needs. He especially doesn't need anything from his demented aunt.

Now I suggest if you want to stay between those satin sheets, you keep your nose out of my business!

Maybe you should have your teeth capped. You've sure taken a big enough bite of the Ewing apple.

What did you do, Sue Ellen? Pick up a case of whooping cough from your teenage lover?

I have a very special feeling for your sister. I hate her.
