Feb-16-06 | | whatthefat: There was this:
E Kengis vs R Djurhuus, 1991 |
|
Feb-16-06 | | Jim Bartle: Ahh, just proves once again that great minds think alike. |
|
Feb-16-06
 | | tpstar: It went around the first time as "Kengis Kan" = C Kennaugh vs E Kengis, 2003 |
|
Feb-16-06 | | Jim Bartle: Someday, someday I'm going to come up with an original one. I'm still jealous as heck of the guy who came up with "Michael Rohde Boat Ashore." |

|
Feb-17-09
 | | SwitchingQuylthulg: Happy birthday to Player of the Day! |
|
Feb-17-09 | | Open Defence: how was he born in both February and Apr ?? |
|
Feb-17-09
 | | SwitchingQuylthulg: It's just one of my funny habits. Whenever one of my favorite players makes PoTD I say "happy birthday" in advance because I'll probably forget on their real birthday. |
|
Feb-17-09
 | | SwitchingQuylthulg: Mind you, I'm not the only one. Indeed I see that as recently as this morning you yourself wished Jan Cervenka a Happy Birthday 364 days in advance. |
|
Feb-17-09 | | WhiteRook48: 364 days in advance?! almost never happens |
|
Apr-12-09 | | wordfunph: Trivia: Edvins Kengis and Sigurd Lanka refused to play in international competitions unless the Latvian flag was used at their table in place of the Soviet one. Happy Birthday GM Kengis!!! |
|
Apr-12-09
 | | SwitchingQuylthulg: Oh well, I did notice his real birthday. But I very nearly didn't, so the point is valid. Happy real birthday, GM Kengis. |

|

 | | Penguincw: Congratz for POTD. :) |
|
Feb-17-12 | | waustad: Oh well, that pun was too easy. His first name could possibly be used with "Ed Wins" or "Ed Wynn" if somebody sees a way. |
|
May-25-13 | | whiteshark: Belated <Happy Birthday>, GM Kengis.
;) |
|
Apr-12-16 | | TheFocus: Happy birthday, Edvins Kengis. |
|
Jul-12-17 | | ChessHigherCat: Kengis Drawn. Latvia's great export is GMs. |
|

 | | OhioChessFan: Got to looking for a loss to use as a pun: Kengis Gone. Saw "Kengis Conned" and "Kengis Kan" along the way. I also randomly picked 2 losses to fit the pun I was seeking, and both games Kengis got his Queen way out of play, and a virtual spectator: K Aseev vs Kengis, 1997 Pelletier vs Kengis, 2004 |

 | | HeMateMe: 8 times champion of Latvia! More high profile than Victor Von Doom. |
|
Apr-12-21
 | | HeMateMe: Oh wait, that's Latveria I was thinking of
<If yer an innocent country bein' stomped on by some tin-plated despot? Latveria, officially Kingdom of Latveria is a small eastern European country within Europe. Its capital and largest city is Doomstadt. It was ruled by Dr. Victor von Doom aka Doctor Doom .

|
Sep-23-23 | | lentil: Sadly for all the punsters here, the great conqueror's (nick)name was pronounced 'Ching Giss'. |
