May-21-25 Fischer vs Spassky, 1992    MissScarlett: Sveti Stefan. This was Fischer's fifth win in the match, at which point they switched to Belgrade. You illustrate one of my pet peeves. For events that incorporate more than one site/location, the PGN Site tag should be specific to the game in question. Blaming/shaming no-one ...      May-21-25 Sutovsky vs Topalov, 2017    MissScarlett: Pun works better in audio-visual form: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymF...      May-20-25 Biographer Bistro    MissScarlett: <Lower case and is in the <short name>.> Yes, I'll go with this. But in the example you cite, the lower case looks better when the capital from the first name is included: <A de Boistertre>. <de Saint Amant> looks a little strange, but, no doubt, I'll ...      May-20-25 chessgames.com chessforum    MissScarlett: Is it a holiday week in America?      May-19-25 Thomas Girdlestone   MissScarlett: His great-grand uncle was Horatio Nelson, the greatest naval hero in British history. Thomas, it seems, spent his navy career working in store-keeping. Unclear if he ever left dry land.      May-19-25 Spielmann vs M Elyashiv, 1903    MissScarlett: <I can find no record of such a tournament as having taken place. I think it likelier the game was from the Munich 1904 tournament that took place in November 1904, of which there is a public record of both these players participating.> This game appears in van Vliet's ...      May-18-25 Superbet Chess Classic Romania (2025)    MissScarlett: Confused by a tweet of Ramachandran Ramesh : <Congratulations to @rpraggnachess for winning the @GrandChessTour Superbet Romanian event convincingly. Special congratulations to @vaibhavschess AND the other second for doing a great job!> I wasn't aware there was a ...      May-18-25 Magnus Carlsen   MissScarlett: <Carlsen Random> is two words.      May-18-25 Kibitzer's Café    MissScarlett: Just watched a minor 1959 British crime thriller called Web of Suspicion. Its IMDb rating is currently 3.8. The reason I mention it is because in the opening titles, the leading lady’s costumes are credited to Marks & Spencer.      May-17-25 H Barlow vs W Ward, 1902   MissScarlett: The source gives <Ward - Barlow> but the accompanying text - marking Ward's victory in the City of London CC championship - makes clear that Ward won the game.

The Enigma of Howard Staunton

< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 20 OF 20 ·  Later Kibitzing> May-08-24    MissScarlett: A loaded question. Is the alleged malfeasance ongoing? May-09-24    fredthebear: I'll answer your question if you'll answer mine. May-09-24    MissScarlett: Only <Miss Susan> and <steve> would have the access, to my knowledge. May-10-24    fredthebear: That's a fair answer. I suspect a few more long-time characters would be/are quite glad to participate in the slashings, authorized or not. It's a short, familiar list. "Alleged" is the wrong word. The destruction of my material is obvious, deliberate, widespread. Malfeasance certainly fits. A matter of dislike if not vengeance, justifying abuse of power and privilege. A fair, honest person(s) can disagree with others and doesn't need to hide one's actions. A fair, honest person(s) would accept responsibility and give a straightforward explanation of their actions. The deceitful lay ruin and cover-up their misdeeds. Targeted harassment of Fredthebear's guinea pig account by privileged operators has been a daily problem in one form or another for years. It will continue until the perpetrators are held accountable, like photographers and thieves always having an eye out for their next opportunity. Maybe CGs can hire Stephanie Clifford, ghost chaser extraordinaire to catch those responsible for this disappearing act. She puts on quite a show I'm told. May-11-24    perfidious: Contrary to the insinuation in the previous post, if I possessed such capabilities, there would be too many better things to do than to bother about such an account. May-11-24    MissScarlett: Is the alleged malfeasance ongoing? May-12-24    fredthebear: Wrong word. Right word. Yes, as stated above. Puffy announces his innocence. Anything to insert another cheap, useless post for your cheap, useless legacy, eh? " ... too many better things to do..." says he. Chuckles. May-13-24    MissScarlett: When was the latest instance? Bring evidence or go home. May-14-24    fredthebear: Why so interested in the latest instance? Each and every instance (hundreds of instances) matter to me. It's not when it happened, it's the fact that it should never have happened -- it's so deliberately underhanded, wrong, unethical. The devious culprits are a danger to this website and must be banished. May-14-24    MissScarlett: Feel free to provide details of all or any instances, but if the alleged abuse is still happening after your public complaint, that surely would be significant. In any event, I need specifics to aid investigation. May-15-24    fredthebear: Susan is looking into the matter. I was expecting a statement by now. She has the power to get rid of the problem for good and get a replacement. May-15-24    perfidious: Before any further insinuations are made in this quixotic campaign, I should like to mention that I do not possess such powers, and would not exercise them if I did. May-16-24    MissScarlett: <Susan is looking into the matter.> Are you sure? My understanding is that she's on holiday in Europe; Susan Freeman chessforum suggests she hasn't been seen in these parts since May 3rd. Your last post to that page dates from May 8th. May-17-24    offramp: I am out of the loop. Could someone please bring me up to speed about what has happened since the lockdown? May-23-24    Susan Freeman: I am back from holiday. Just to be clear, I intend to keep Daniel's legacy alive. I have had offers to buy CG and turn it into a gaming site, and,just as bad, redo the enire format. My goal is to preserve CG, with updating as needed. Daniel said CG was his child, so that makes it my grandchild. In the Baltic, on the high seas, starlink is not always available, so I was not always in touch. I am spending the summer in Greece on terra firma, and will have internet just like at home, so I will be lurking as usual. I look forward to visiting the sitesin Greece, tavernas,ouzo, and food. A short trip to Albania and the blue lagoon is an idea as well. Life is short, and I am spending my kids' inheritance. A big thank you to my helpers for your assistance. :) Jun-07-24    mifralu: < MissScarlett: In Whyld's <The Collected Games of Emanuel Lasker> (1998), amongst others he acknowledges the help of <M. A. Nepomuceno>. Over a dozen games played in Havana in 1906 credit the source as Nepomuceno.

Feb-27-25    MissScarlett: I don't select such, only GOTD. Incidentally, I have been waiting for you to highlight Capablanca vs J W Rivkine, 1925. Feb-27-25    Sally Simpson: Done! I always thought it was you who did POTD. Who do I contact for POTD suggestions? Feb-28-25    MissScarlett: I saw a name mentioned recently. It's not Steve. Ask Miss Susan.
