Aug-24-25 Biographer Bistro    jnpope: I'm sure Morphy had a dentist in New Orleans. You need to find a chess playing dentist in Mobile, Alabama. :-) I honestly have no idea how to deal with two unknown players without adding additional faux players into the system, which I believe is frowned upon (my plan is to see how ...      Aug-23-25 Chessgames - Guys and Dolls    jnpope: <perfidious: I will never view a blast furnace quite the same way again.> I'm still trying to figure out how he didn't walk off the edge of his building.      Aug-21-25 Richard Johnson    jnpope: Or you presume he took his data from the link he provided which goes to the OCRed text, not an image scan. But sure, Stonehenge definitely could have posted something and then give an irrelevant link to hide his real source. I wasn't sitting next to him when he posted his text and ...      Aug-21-25 chessgames.com chessforum    jnpope: Chessgames Help According to <CG>: "The lists of notable games are calculated by finding the games which most frequently appear in our users' game collections." And only tournaments in the Tournament Index are eligible to become notable tournaments. To make the 1954 British ...      Aug-19-25 Rubinstein Memorial (2025)    jnpope: <MissScarlett: You're only infallible for the period after 1870.> Stop that, people will believe you.      Aug-18-25 Arthur Ford   jnpope: <I think Lange just latched onto the Ford surname and merged the two men into a single entity.> I owe the ghost of Herr Lange an apology. It would appear that Isaac Orchard is the originator of the confusion. He published the Morphy-Ford game in the <Charleston News>, ...      Aug-16-25 Thomas Mazuchowski    jnpope: <GrahamClayton: Mazuchowski defeated Bobby Fischer during the latter's 1964 simultaneous tour. Does this game score survive?> I approached Tom about his simul win at a Michigan Open years ago (when I was helping John Donaldson dig up games). Tom was vehemently opposed in ...      Aug-13-25 Alapin vs von Popiel, 1899    jnpope: "Einfach, aber entscheidend, da Herr Alapin zur Fortsetzung der Partie am 22 December nicht rechtzeitig erschien und daher contumacirt wurde." -<Wiener Schachzeitung>, v3 n2, February 1900, p52. I believe Alapin lost via forfeit as he didn't show up in time for the resumption ...      Aug-09-25 Jacob Lissner   jnpope: The <Minneapolis Journal>, 1897.10.16, p15, reports Jacob Lissner was playing a match vs Nathaniel Hymes with Hymes leading 4 to 3.      Aug-08-25 E Morphy vs A P Ford, 1840   jnpope: Clipping available in the <Hazeltine Scrapbook, v32, Cincinnati Dispatch, Game 32, p73 (pdf p81)>

< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 14 OF 15 ·  Later Kibitzing> Sep-07-24    mifralu: Update for the Library page:La Stratégie: Volume 29, 1896 (page 1 gives January <1895>) https://books.google.com/books?id=S... BTW, is your email account ...@provide... still active? Sep-07-24    jnpope: Yes, but I haven't been checking it that often. I've gotten lazy in my retirement. Nov-15-24    jnpope: J McConnell vs Morphy, 1849 Jay Whitehead found this game in the <Tallapoosa Gazette> for 1847 with neither player identified (i.e. NN for both). Perhaps another "Morphy" game from the mysterious Czech book <Mene Znamy Partie z Paul Morphy>, Moritz Porges, 1900, and then "found" by Lawson?? Nov-15-24    jnpope: Morphy vs J McConnell, 1849 Another game "found" by Lawson, but it was first published in <La Régence>, v1 n10, October 1849, p302, as being played by "M. M....." vs "M. N....." some 14 months before the first verifiable Morphy game was published. Nov-15-24    jnpope: Morphy vs NN, 1850 Again, another game "found" by Lawson and passed off as a Morphy game. This game is actually Cochrane vs Moheschunder, 1852 and given by Cochrane in his unpublished MS, <Loose Indian Chess Leaves>, v1, game 133, p98, pdf p52, with the Morphy version removing the a1-rook to pass it off as an odds game. Nov-15-24    jnpope: Was Lawson duped by some unscrupulous source? I'm starting to have some serious questions about his "finds". Once is a mistake. Twice is a coincidence. Thrice is a pattern. Nov-19-24    jnpope: v31 pdf 61: Panmar Nov-19-24    jnpope: https://www.ecforum.org.uk/viewtopi... Nov-22-24    jnpope: https://www.britannica.com/place/Ge... https://germanhistorydocs.org/en/fr... Nov-26-24    jnpope: Game Collection: Jurata 1937 Polish championship Nov-27-24    jnpope: Martin St Leon Nov-29-24    jnpope: Baron Pahlen General Mikhailov Dr J von Manteuffel Dec-02-24    mifralu: Prince Matchabelli (kibitz #3) Dec-02-24    jnpope: Thank you for finding that information. I was building a list of players to investigate after I return home from holiday. Dec-03-24    mifralu: Martin St Leon (kibitz #1) Dec-09-24    jnpope: Another successful journey concluded. I left yesterday at 7.38am and arrived back home at 11.51pm. 1,233 miles in a little over 16 hours (only two brief stops to refuel). https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Nok... For comparison: https://maps.app.goo.gl/whSeczftifP... Dec-09-24    stone free or die: Might I ask, did you drive by yourself for sixteen hours straight? If so you're a certifiable maniac. That's Carlsen level grinding! (Entertaining comparison, though there you'd at least have the reward of a nice glass of Highland Park!) Dec-09-24    jnpope: Yes. Solo drive non-stop. Dec-10-24    stone free or die: That's averaging about 76 mph isn't it? Just curious do you have a radar/ladar detector? And do actually ever go to Lions' games? . Dec-10-24    jnpope: No detection device. I use the FIT method (traveling the speed of the Fastest Indigenous Traffic in each state). I figure they know where all the speed traps are (I also have Waze on my phone). The closest I've come to Ford Field is Comerica Park (I do attend Tigers games). But I have an open invite (first refusal) to home games from a sports junkie friend. Dec-11-24    stone free or die: Never knew that technique (ie FIT) had a name. I might have called it the left-lane-blend-in. Dec-16-24    jnpope: Richard Fenton R. F. Fenton, formerly of Swansea, according to the Cardiff <Weekly Mail> Dec-29-24    jnpope: Rudolf Czaikowsky Dec-31-24    jnpope: Lowenthal in the Bohn edition (pp.405-413) and Segeant (pp.315-319) give these 6 games as being played by the same Amateur: 1 Morphy vs Worrall, 1858 2 Morphy vs Worrall, 1858 3 Morphy vs NN, 1857 4 Morphy vs J McConnell, 1858 5 Morphy vs NN, 1857 6 Morphy vs Worrall, 1858 Dec-31-24    jnpope: These 6 games are not given as being played by the same amateur Appleton edition (pp.439-450).
