| Dec-23-21 | | Polonia: chess champ once said: women's world champ vera menchik and men's world champ alexander alekhine, you cant take away their world championships just because they died or were killed in bombing.. thats like you become champion today and you die tomorrow, but world championship will not happen for 2 years, sure you can say it's vacant title, but champion remains deceased champ, DUH <so> email fide idiots: office@fide.com, ratings@fide.com and tell them that even though dead, they are official champions until new now was crowned; also world chess championship needs to be year event to give regular chess exposure!!! |

No one, of course.
Nonetheless, new member <Polonia> thinks this is an important message to get out there. <Polonia> has made four posts so far, and three of them have been exactly the same post you read in here. The fourth is a post in the Kibbutzer's Kafe criticizing its habitues. Best Kibbutzer of the year?
You make the call! |

| | perfidious: <jess...Best Kibbutzer of the year?> Dang!
I have a theory: perhaps an ancestor was a member of the Vera Menchik Club. |

<perfidious> ingenious theory. Supporting science: "Revenge is a dish best served cold..." |

 | | MissScarlett: <[Source "Falkirk Herald, 21 May 1930; Linlithgowshire Gazette, 23 May 193"]> Just one source necessary, except in exceptional circumstances. In this case, it's the same column which regularly appeared in both papers. A page number is also encouraged, where known. I have amended the above to <Source "Falkirk Herald, 1930.05.21, p.15">. |

How WIKISTUPID U R.... ancestors go back at least thousands of years as in dinosaurus times, we can link crocodile and alligators to them but only ancestors people have are monkey humanoids! |

| Jan-28-22 | | Polonia: She beat top players in tournament play including world champ max euwe and sam reshevsky:

|
| Feb-02-22 | | Polonia: max euwe should not have given rematch to alexander alekhine but find opponent who will pay him most dough! i doubt there was rematch agreement but yet chess was not as professional as today with details computer preparation for moves leading to draws. |
|
Feb-02-22
| | perfidious: Euwe was a class act. Full stop. The world was better for his presence. |
|
| Feb-02-22 | | Polonia: u mean chess world was made better because of him! |
|

| | perfidious: Don't put words in my mouth.
Sod off. |

 | | Sally Simpson: Hi Polonia,
<"max euwe should not have given rematch to alexander alekhine...i doubt there was rematch agreement."> There was re-match clause in the 1935 contract should Alekhine lose. Here is the contract signed by both players agreeing to it. https://en.chessbase.com/post/edwar... |
|
| Feb-03-22 | | Olavi: Yes, there was a rematch clause, but there was one also in the Lasker - Schlechter contract, and Schlechter never got a second match. So if Euwe had somehow evaded the match there would have been little that Aljechin could have done. But of course that wasn't going to happen, provided the purse was there, which it was. |
|
| Feb-03-22 | | Polonia: sod off you can leave on wikipedia really: wiki-PEDO-ia aka wiki-PEE-dia full of wikignorant, wikihypocrites wikioccultist, wikistupid, wikicontradicting, wikiarrogant wikihomopedoidiots where every article is wrong and old people get accused of killing heads of state archive.is/Y0BB, whatever, i wrote what you really ment in positive terms, duh! |
|
| Feb-03-22 | | Polonia: but schlechter drew the match, did he try to get rematch? and 2 points clause? last game was draw for drawchter and the title and immortality and comfy living! then he like kieseritzky died like bum and was buried in pauper's grave? |

| Apr-05-22 | | Whitehat1963: How would she do against the likes of the Polgar sisters, Yifan Hou, etc.? |
|
Apr-06-22
 | | Dionysius1: Home or away? |
|
| Apr-08-22 | | Whitehat1963: Away, with DH allowed, lefty fireballer on the mound, and the lights on at Wrigley. |
|

| | Dionysius1: I was being smart-ish - I meant really during her heyday or during theirs |
