| maoam: Again, what's the point of memorising pi? Aside from being able to say "I have memorised N digits of pi" for some suitably large N. |

Nov-21-05 E Diemer vs Portz, 1948
| |
| maoam: <...and proving the Riemann-Zeta function> It's the Riemann Hypothesis that needs proving (or disproving if, like me, you think it's false). The Riemann Zeta function cannot be proved, it's not a theorem of any sort, it is just defined. |

Nov-11-05 Bobby Fischer
| |
| maoam: <Sleepkid: did you ever get round to biffing him in the hooter?> The miniturisation technique was horribly flawed, Sleepkid started to return to his normal size before he could land a punch inside Fischer's nostrils. |

Jul-21-05 Karpov vs Kasparov, 1986
| |
| maoam: The most recent issue of Informant at ChessCafe.com, "Highlights from the Anthology of Chess Combinations" (archived at http://chesscafe.com/text/informant... ), describes a beautiful queen sacrifice that could've arisen in the game. The diagram given indicates it must occur in the ... |
