areknames has kibitzed 2257 times to chessgames   [more...]

May-20-25 Kenneth Rogoff    areknames: Yes, <HMM> mentioned Gov. Shapiro. Kamala should have picked him as running mate but instead chose Walz, who was more like a parody than a credible candidate, presumably to shore up the Muslim/Arab vote in Michigan. I mean, she would have lost anyway but maybe carried ...      May-19-25 Fusilli chessforum    areknames: <z> it was my older brother. I can't say whether it was expected or unexpected as we had lost contact in the last few years and I am so far away from everyone and everything. I still need to find out the details of what actually happened. Still sucks big time, though.      May-18-25 Chessgames - Guys and Dolls    areknames: Alessandra Mussolini. Her father was one Italy's most renowned jazz pianists, her mother is Sophia Loren's younger sister. I think her grandfather played a role in WW II. Alessandra was a not particularly successful starlet and actress in her youth, but her fortunes changed when ...      May-18-25 Kibitzer's Café    areknames: The 9th stage of the Giro concludes in Piazza del Campo in amazing Siena. Young Mexican Isaac del Toro falls just short of winning the stage but is the new pink jersey.      May-17-25 I Rogers vs G Milos, 1992   areknames: Impressive game by Rogers with a lovely final shot. I need to look at it in more detail, with the aid of what appears to be excellent kibitzing.      May-16-25 Aronian vs D Gukesh, 2025    areknames: <Sally Simpson> Very nice indeed. Rxa6 is devastating.      May-15-25 G Chandler vs J W McLay, 2002    areknames: I like your style mate. Possibly 11..Qg4 could have held.      May-14-25 Vlastimil Hort    areknames: I am <Fusilli>'s age and I echo his sentiments. May you rest in peace, GM Hort.      May-13-25 Gligoric vs E Nievergelt, 1959    areknames: <TheaN> yes, you have to see 30.Rxc6! I didn't pay enough attention so I missed it. Maybe a little hard for a Tuesday but good POTD nonetheless.      May-13-25 Chessgames - Sports    areknames: Not sure if there are any cycling enthusiasts here. I've kind of become one in my dotage. Watching some stunning, live action from bedazzling Ostuni in the Giro d'Italia. Somehow, the Giro and later the Tour help me get through the harsh winter here.
