| Mar-29-10 | | Autoreparaturwerkbau: When I see a perfect record i always suspect the strength of the opponents. Some nice miniatures though. |
|
| Mar-29-10 | | Nightsurfer: Hi <Autoreparaturwerkbau>, I agree, these are miniatures, nothing more - but maybe they are a little bit entertaining, hopefully! |

 | | FSR: <Autoreparaturwerkbau> Judging by his record, he is probably the greatest player since Louis Eichborn and Prince Andrey Dadian of Mingrelia. |
|
| Nov-29-12 | | Nightsurfer: <FSR> No, I am worse than those two guys that you have just mentioned ... but I simply do not like those games that I lose ... and there are many, of course ... but those games with my goofs are not worth to be mentioned ... |
|
| Nov-30-12 | | Abdel Irada: <Nightsurfer: <FSR> No, I am worse than those two guys that you have just mentioned ... but I simply do not like those games that I lose ... and there are many, of course ... but those games with my goofs are not worth to be mentioned ...> I wonder if your opponents feel the same way about games *they* lost. |
|
| Dec-01-12 | | Nightsurfer: <Abdel Irada>: I am damn sure that my opponents are supposed to be not too happy with the publication of those game records ... but what shall I do? Shall I kick in my own ass?! It is up to them to go public with my blunders at the board ... ;-) ! |

| Dec-01-12 | | Atking: <Nightsurfer> You might be interested to know the Shogi meijin Moriuchi is playing the open of London. If you have time to go there. |

 | | OhioChessFan: When I see grammatical errors in bios, I tend to take them to editors and ask the errors be fixed. On the chance you wrote the bio (I checked to see if you had a forum), I will mention it here: <In 1987, after doing research as a visiting scholar at the University of Copenhagen, he has published a thesis on the protection of fundamental rights in Denmark, Der Grundrechtsschutz in Dänemark.> "has" is spurious. |
|
| Dec-03-12 | | Nightsurfer: <Atking> Thank you very much for the info that <Moriuchi> plays the Open in London! Unfortunately I have no time to go there! :-(
<OhioChessFan> Thank you so much for spotting the error - please ask the editors to fix that, thank you very much in advance! :-) |

| | FSR: <Nightsurfer: <FSR> No, I am worse than those two guys that you have just mentioned ...> I think it is generally assumed that Prince Dadian paid famous players to lose brilliantly to him. I don't know what the story is with Eichborn, and AFAIK no one does. Presumably (like you) he actually lost some games too. See
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_... |
|
| Dec-06-12 | | Nightsurfer: <FSR> I have lost - and I will lose, for sure - many many games (and I assume that the percentage of games that I win is probably less than 50 per cent, blitz games including, and the percentage of games that I win in a more or less noteworthy way (by a nice combination or so) is probably less than one per cent or so ... :-( ... ;-) ...! And now let me please clarify one thing - since there has started to popp up the name <Prince-Dadian-of-Blablabla ...> in this context - ... : I never ever have paid a damn penny (or more ...) to anybody to fake something OTB, that is a question of honour, please ask my friends! |
|
Dec-07-12
| | FSR: <Nightsurfer> I was not trying to impugn your honor. I understand that you prefer to submit your wins rather than your losses, and don't doubt that yours (unlike Dadian's) are real. I just meant that you should not assume that Dadian was in fact stronger than you are. |
|
| Dec-07-12 | | Nightsurfer: <FSR> Oh, thank you ... but in fact I have no clue how strong that Prince Dadian was in REAL play - without any faking it ... ;-) |
|
Dec-08-12
| | FSR: <Nightsurfer> I'm guessing he wasn't too good, but we'll probably never know - unlike Edwin Ziegler Adams (star of the apocryphal game E Z Adams vs Carlos Torre, 1920), who we know was actually weaker than pond scum. http://www.chesshistory.com/winter/... |
|
| Dec-09-12 | | Nightsurfer: <FSR> Thank you very much for your assessment. And thank you for the interesting information with regard to E Z Adams vs Carlos Torre, 1920 , I did not know that some people disqualify that game as being a fake.
But - based on my experience as working as a lawyer parallel to my work as a journalist - I can only conclude that there may be some doubts, but there is no proof that E Z Adams vs Carlos Torre, 1920 is a hoax. |

Dec-09-12
| | FSR: <Nightsurfer> Reasonable minds can differ, but IMO there's no way in hell that the combination in Adams-Torre could have been played by someone whose only two known legitimate games were these: Edwin Ziegler Adams–Andrew Lockett, New Orleans, 1925 1 e4 e6 2 d4 b6 3 f3 Bb7 4 Bd3 Qh4+ 5 g3 Qh5 6 Be3 Bd6 7 e5 Bxe5 8 dxe5 Qxe5 9 Kf2 Qxb2 10 Nd2 Nf6 11 h3 Nh5 12 Ne2 O-O 13 Bd4 Qa3 14 Nc4 Qe7 15 Qd2 d5 16 Ne5 c5 17 Be3 c4 18 Nxc4 dxc4 19 Bxc4 Qf6 20 Ng1 Qxa1 21 White resigns.

|
| Dec-09-12 | | Nightsurfer: <FSR>, thank you very much for those game records, I see, I agree with you! |
|
| Feb-13-13 | | sfm: It's OK to only submit wins.
Nobody with any intelligence thinks the man claim to only be winning games or to be the superior player on the planet.
I also don't see many losses included in the masters' publications of "my memorable games". |
|
| Feb-13-13 | | Nightsurfer: <sfm> Mange tak for your posting of <Feb-13-13>, mange tak for having made that point! And a big HELLO to DANMARK where I had a very inspiring stay in 1982 when I did my research for my thesis on Danish Fundamental Rights in Det Kongelige Bibliotek of Copenhagen! |

| Dec-26-15 | | zanzibar: Yeah, <HMM>, now that you mention it, she does look a little like Janet Jackson. |

 | | Fusilli: <Nightsurfer: ... but I simply do not like those games that I lose> ... <It is up to them to go public with my blunders at the board ... ;-) !> Interesting take. Of course I don't like losing either, but I have submitted many losses if I think they are interesting games. Yet, there is a threshold of embarrassment that I don't want to cross. I would not submit my most embarrassing games. |

 | | MissScarlett: Regarding <Dänemark> in the bio, this is not readily fixable, but such character issues are in the process of being dealt with. |
|
| Nov-12-21 | | Nightsurfer: <MissScarlett> Talking of <" ... Daenemark ...">, all right, I do understand, no problem ... then I propose to change the corresponding characters conforming to the way I have just done it in the foregoing! :-) |
