DrNyet Member since Dec-02-06 · Last seen Jan-01-21 Following the game and collecting chess books are my favorite hobby activities, as opposed to actual study and improvement. Other time sinks are an unfortunate addiction to the Houston Cougars... and politics... and reading other members' bios. Living near Bandera -- the "Cowboy Capital of the World" -- in the Texas Hill Country. I can be reached at tku.us; just prepend that domain with mask@. Surname: Eoff. Soapbox section: I'm a Christian, but IMO Christianity is somewhat misunderstood, including by many Christians. I believe the Bible and Christ's return was fulfilled -- as prophesied -- with the fall of Jerusalem in ~74 A.D and I don't think rituals like attending "church" have anything to do with the future life. I also think of myself as philosophically Buddhist and politically libertarian. "The cost of your favorite government program is the cost of all of them." -- Harry Browne "Watch your mind." -- Steve Hagen (author of Buddhism Plain and Simple) "Daniel's Prophecy Logically Examined: A Biblical Evaluation Of The 70 Weeks," by John Eoff (my late father).

Jan-01-21 William John Donaldson    DrNyet: I have Kindle *samples* of Donaldson & Tangborn's excellent and amazingly researched books, "Bobby Fischer: The Early Years 1943-1962" and ..."Later Years 1963-2008", but the full books don't appear to be available from Kindle, Amazon, or other places I've searched. Does anyone know ...      Aug-21-20 chessgames.com chessforum    DrNyet: I'm guessing this may have come up, but I don't see Jude Acers listed on the players page, though there is such a page (as "Jude Frazer Acers", found by searching on Google "site:chessgames.com jude acers" I believe). Is this an oversight, or because he doesn't meet certain criteria?      May-27-19 Robert G Hartoch   DrNyet: Hartoch is mentioned numerous times in one of my favorite books by one of my favorite writers, Hans Ree’s My Chess, including in the section on a beloved hang out, Di Kring, where he supposedly lost a tooth in a fight involving a woman.      May-27-19 Miguel Medina Paz   DrNyet: I haven't been active lately, but I see he's playing in the current San Antonio Chess Club championship. Terribly important news in the chess world, I know. :)      Sep-29-17 Viewer Deluxe chessforum    DrNyet: You'll probably want to try the new Olga Viewer Olga Viewer chessforum . Per the Chessgames.com forum, the idea is "to present the best features of Chess Viewer Deluxe combined with the best features of pgn4web, combined with special Chessgames-related "hooks" to our Stockfish ...      Aug-07-17 Lluis Comas Fabrego   DrNyet: I'm finding that book interesting too. Had it on my shelf for quite a while before investigating further (meaning spot-reading for now). He seems like a good thinker and writer. The brief Silman review linked by the <whiteshark> didn't go beyond some comments on openings, but ...      May-25-17 Gisbert Jacoby    DrNyet: Hmmm there is also a Gisbert Jacoby page at ChessBase that says he "was for more than ten years the trainer of the Hamburg support group, the workshop in which were forged the talents of young Hamburg chess players, some of whom on to become grandmasters such as Matthias Wahls and ...      Mar-22-17 Paul Poschel    DrNyet: What led me to look up Poschel was this article in ChessBase: Bobby Fischer's Winning Streaks: 1963 to 1965 by Johannes Fischer, 9/30/2014 "Fischer's next tournament after the US-Championship was the Western Open, a Swiss tournament, which Fischer won smoothly with 7.5 from 8. ...      Feb-17-17 Herman Grooten   DrNyet: I neglected to mention the full title: Chess Strategy for Club Players The Road to Positional Advantage.      Oct-23-16 Karpov - Fischer World Championship Match (1975)    DrNyet: <thegoodanarchist>'s comment about Betty Roberts' book prompted me to look it up. FWIW the account begins on page 74 of the first edition (1991; I don't know if there were any others) of "How to Get Better at Chess: Chess Masters on Their Art", by Larry Evans, Jeremy Silman, ...      Sep-25-16 Ivan Sokolov     Dec-11-15 Carlsen vs Nakamura, 2015     Aug-08-15 Petrosian vs Korchnoi, 1971     Aug-01-15 Jacob Aagaard     Jun-14-15 Salov vs Yusupov, 1989     May-31-15 Robert James Fischer     Mar-25-15 David Simon Charles Goodman     Feb-09-15 Eric Tangborn     Jan-09-15 chessgames.com chessforum     Jan-08-15 Todd D Andrews    Sep-18-14 Kinghunt chessforum     Sep-14-14 Kenneth Ray Smith     Sep-14-14 Garry Kasparov     Jun-29-14 Kenneth Rogoff     Jun-13-14 Sergey Karjakin     May-26-14 Tal vs Larsen, 1965     May-09-14 Robson vs S Erenburg, 2014     Apr-29-14 Aleksander Petkov Delchev     Jan-11-14 Tata Steel Masters (2014)     Nov-02-13 Ljubomir Ljubojevic     Nov-02-13 Eric Schiller     Aug-06-13 Borin Topic     Aug-06-13 LIFE Master AJ chessforum     Jul-25-13 Jan Bey    Jul-21-13 DrNyet chessforum     Jun-15-13 A J Goldsby     Jun-11-13 Tal Memorial (2013)     Jun-09-13 I Nikolayev vs Makarov, 1983     Jun-01-13 Jonathan L Hilton    Apr-18-13 FIDE Grand Prix Zug (2013)     Mar-26-13 William Hook     Mar-03-13 Tigran V Petrosian     Feb-24-13 D Byrne vs J A Grefe, 1973     Feb-24-13 Colin S Crouch     Jan-22-13 Yifan Hou vs Carlsen, 2013     Jan-01-13 ChessBookForum chessforum     Jan-01-13 Grigory Konstantinovich Sanakoev     Aug-04-12 Botvinnik vs Capablanca, 1938     Aug-04-12 Kavalek vs Uhlmann, 1976     Jul-10-12 Kibitzer's Café     May-26-12 Jose Raul Capablanca     May-26-12 J Barle vs I Jelen, 1979     May-18-12 Playing Zone chessforum     May-18-12 Gelfand vs Anand, 2012     Mar-11-12 Schlechter vs Maroczy, 1902     Feb-29-12 Maria Pilar Vence Santorum     Jan-18-12 Carlsen vs V Gashimov, 2012     Dec-10-11 Daniel Freeman     Oct-29-11 Seirawan vs F Peralta, 2011    Jun-25-11 Stephan Gerzadowicz     Jun-15-11 Golden Executive / Houdini vs Hosea / Schiller / Wall, 2011     Jun-10-11 A E Franklin vs A J Goldsby, 2011     May-21-11 Grischuk vs Gelfand, 2011     Nov-10-09 Tal Memorial (2009)     Sep-30-09 P Cramling vs H Hunt, 2006     May-31-08 Benzol chessforum     Apr-24-08 positionalgenius chessforum     Jan-20-08 Hans Ree     Jan-06-08 Karpov vs Adorjan, 1989     Dec-20-07 timhortons chessforum     Dec-15-07 Shirov vs Kamsky, 2007     Sep-14-07 Aronian vs Anand, 2007     Sep-08-07 Zebra chessforum     Jun-24-07 E Alekseev vs Mamedyarov, 2007     Jun-14-07 Holden chessforum     Dec-03-06 Fedorowicz vs Henley, 1977

Woody Allen said the thing with feathers was his nephew!? CG needs to alert you when someone posts on your forum (even a limp fake one like this). Jul-05-11    DrNyet: The I Hatem player page is amusing. Nov-20-11    DrNyet: Another fishy chessplayer: Borin Topic Nov-20-11    DrNyet: And of course... Beer Dec-10-11    OhioChessFan: Raymond Allen Weinstein For great poetry, in particular haiku and clerihews. Dec-18-11    DrNyet: Hehe <OhioChessFan> That is amusing. Jan-14-13    hms123: <DrNyet> One choice is to highlight and copy the game moves under the game and then paste them into your engine. A second choice is to click on <review game> (upper right corner) and then on <view> (below the board where it says <PGN: download | view>). That takes you to the pgn with headers. You can then copy and paste that to your engine. The first way is quicker and easier. Jul-21-13    DrNyet: Stumpers player page/forum... hehe.
