Benzol Member since Jul-02-03 Commander John J Adams : " Morbius, what is the Id? " Dr Edward Morbius : " It's an obsolete term. I'm afraid once used to describe the elementary basis of the subconscious mind. " Hi, I'm Paul Morten and I live in Auckland, New Zealand. I've been playing Chess for over thirty years (and still haven't got it right yet). My father ( Peter Morten ) taught me the moves when I was aged about ten. I didn't really get "Chess Fever" until the Fischer-Spassky match in Iceland in 1972. My first chess heroes were Spassky, Fischer, Marshall, Alyekhin and Capablanca but with more maturity I'm much more appreciative of Lasker, Chigorin, Niemzowitsch, Botvinnik, Smyslov, Tal, Keres, Nezhmetdinov, Petrosian, Kasparov and many others. Collecting chess books since 1972 I now possess a chess library I'm sure any club would be proud of. Many game submissions to the database have been made from these books. Up to 25th September 2015 submissions number 5,883 games (this total will continue to grow with time). I'm fascinated by Chess History and the players who make it so what follows is a large list of important tournaments played in the 19th and 20th Centuries. These collections have been compiled by a number of members of chessgames.com and I'm extremely grateful to them and thank them for their efforts. 1.Game Collection: 0 2.Game Collection: New York 1857

Vitriolic exchanges fly back and forth between people who scarcely know each other. Lately, one of them in particular has become very visible, spilling onto pages of all sorts of classic games. This longstanding problem has now proliferated to the extent that nearly every Chessgames member has been exposed to it. Lately, the Chessgames.com admins have had a flood of complaints, and as a result they've deleted many messages. We decided to start to keep score, and determine exactly which members are the cause of most of our disturbances. Not surprisingly, we found that the same names crop up again and again. Now we're prepared to take extraordinary measures to try to stamp out this flame war: we have now placed a number of members on kibitzing probation. All of these individuals have been identified as the main participants of this flame war. There are seven of them (at current count) and all been placed on kibitzing probation for one week, in what we call a "cooling off period". They are as follows: <Colonel Mortimer>, <JoergWalter>, <LIFE Master AJ>, <Nemesistic>, <Robed.Bishop>, <SimonWebbsTiger>, and <TheFocus>. We hope that when this week is over, some degree of civility is restored. The primary rule broken by all of these individuals is rule 3, "No personal attacks against other users", the rule tailor-made to discourage flame wars. However, many of the deleted posts were also guilty of rule 1 (obscenity) and rule 3 (spamming/duplicating posts). We are not going to address the infractions on a post-by-post basis, but if you are earnestly confused at our posting policies, contact us at chess@chessgames.com, and we'll be happy to clarify your question. During this cooling off period, our admins will continue to clean up some of the mess created during the past few months. However, they aren't going to try to bail water out of a leaking boat. If any antagonist tries to revive the flame war during this period, he or she will be placed on kibitzing probation without compunction. We know that some people will have many more questions, so a list of notes is compiled below. Other questions are best addressed directly to chess@chessgames.com. • The following individuals were not placed on the list in spite of identified posting violations. They are instead hereby issued warnings: <King Death>, <KKDEREK>, <Rob Lob Law>, and <theagenbiteofinwit>. • The "cooling off period" extends from 12:00am midnight, Monday, February 27 to 12:00am midnight, Monday, March 5. • This list is not perfect. There may be one or two people on it who don't deserve to be there. Meanwhile, there are surely people who deserve to be on it, yet aren't mentioned. So it goes. • If you are on probation and want to communicate to an administrator for any reason, contact chess@chessgames.com. Do NOT create an alternate account for any reason whatsoever. • If you are on probation and feel a great need to voice your opinion about this matter in public, you have only two sanctioned methods: 1. Post something on your "bio" area, so that people can read it if they choose to pull up your profile page. 2. wait a week. • If any member attempts to subvert this one week cooling off period by registering a second "sockpuppet" account, or using a sockpuppet account already established, they will be subject to an extended (if not indefinite) probation. Finally, let us remind everybody that the purpose of this action is not to single out specific members, nor to "make an example" of out anybody, but rather to restore civility and decency to the forums. Please help us accomplish that goal by contributing to a peaceful Chessgames, in whatever way you are inclined.>

Monsters From The Id

< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 88 OF 88 ·  Later Kibitzing> May-09-21    perfidious: <Paul>, I'll sign that. Jun-26-21    jessicafischerqueen: <Benzol> I am fine, and thanks for asking! Sorry for such a long wait for a reply. For some reason a month or so ago I lost heart about posting in my own forum for some reason. I don't even know why. How are you doing, my good man. Jun-26-21    jessicafischerqueen: Oh! I see <perfidious> has left one of his trademark "signing documents" here. I will also sign the <Great to hear from you... Hope you're doing exceedingly well.> document, which was drafted by the redoubtable <Canyonero/Lotsapoppa/Chancho>. Sep-17-21    suenteus po 147: Hi, Paul. I just wanted to drop a note to say that I stumbled upon Smyslov vs Gufeld, 1967 based on your posts for Gufeld's "Mona Lisa" game, and it was fantastic to play through. I hope you're well and staying safe through lockdown. Nov-15-21    Benzol: For anyone who still might be interested. I've retired from work and have moved out of the Auckland rat race. I'm very busy, however, with the building of an American Barn at Waipawa in the Hawkes Bay area. Having left Auckland in April this year I've been living in a campervan. I thought the process would take a few months but my interior designer reckons I'll be lucky to be in by April next year. She's probably right but I'm hoping not. I was hoping to do a bit of ticky-touring but after a year in the van the novelty has definitely worn off. It might be some time before I'm ready to travel in the van for an extended period again. When I get more time I'll update the profile here. Nov-16-21    OhioChessFan: I retired a few months back and I've had random thoughts of selling my house and spending a year or three driving around the country as you appear to have done. Maybe, maybe not, I realize such things can have initial appeal then quickly lose their appeal. Dec-28-21    Penguincw: Hey man, hope you're still on this site and doing well. And wherever you may be, Happy Holidays! Dec-31-21    login: Tena koe Benzol, happy new year to you and your loved ones. Hope Waipawa has become a real cozy home with the barn being ready soon. Not forgetting Richard T. him too a successful, prosperous and healthy 2022. Stay safe you Kiwis, we're always in need of your sanity. Godspeed/Mā te wā Unrelated https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0p... Feb-15-22    Benzol: Update. The way the build is going I wonder if my new place will be built by Halloween this year. Just posting to let you know that I'm still around and kicking. Aug-10-22    chancho: Hi Benzol! Great to hear from you! I'm doing ok. I hope you're doing exceedingly well. Nov-05-22    Benzol: Well my hopes of getting into my new house by Halloween were too optimistic, Christmas is still a possibility perhaps but I'm not holding my breath. Dec-30-22    Penguincw: Happy New Year, <Benzol>. Aug-28-23    gregory2188: Hi Benzol! I'll be visiting my brother who lives in Auckland end of December this year. I'm hoping to visit some chess club as well. Hope you could recommend 1. Thanks! Nov-23-23    Benzol: Gregory 2188 It depends upon whereabouts in Auckland your brother lives. If he lives on the North Shore then try the North Shore Chess Club. If out in west Auckland then try the Waitemata Chess Club. If he's out east then try try the Howick-Pakuranga Club. If he's in South Auckland then try the Papatoetoe CC. If he's in Central Auckland then visit the Auckland Chess Centre. Hope this helps. Cheers. Nov-23-23    Benzol: BTW You can find the addresses for these clubs on the NZCF Website. Nov-23-23    Benzol: Oh, do be aware that most clubs will be closed over the Christmas/New Year period too. Dec-08-23    OhioChessFan: Hope you're enjoying the season. Dec-25-23    Penguincw: Happy Holidays <Benzol>. Jan-08-24    Benzol: penguincw and OhioChessFan thanks for stopping by and all the best for the New Year too. Believe it or not my build still isn't finished yet !! I'm hoping 2024 will be the year when all the frustration is over. Fingers crossed ! I've been out of touch for a wee while so how are things going here generally ?
