| stinkymagoo: White looks like they have a decent attack going- is there a zinger by black that I'm just not seeing? |

| stinkymagoo: I had no idea that my mother in law was a professional chess player! Oh, oh, my side! Too funny! Oh, how completely creative! No one would have thought of that! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha |

| stinkymagoo: MM reminds me of when my older brothers and I get together and go to chat rooms on the internet and talk about our anatomy just to get a rise out of people... you're not for real, right? I mean, honestly... We get a big kick out of upsetting people who take the internet so ... |

| |
| stinkymagoo: 7 moves against Anand- I think that NN did better than I would have... ;D |

| |
| stinkymagoo: This game was played on a toadstood in the magical forest... classically demonstrating the magic of the double check |

Dec-09-03 Zukertort vs Paulsen, 1882
| |
| stinkymagoo: This game reminds me of that quote- and I can't remember it exactly- but it's something to the effect of "certain pieces at the end of the game play no part at all and might as well not even be on the board..." somebody help me out here...
Just look at black's queen! Worthless! |

Nov-24-03 Mamedyarov vs V Bachin, 2003
| |
| stinkymagoo: 3. d5xe5ep seems like the best move. I'm thinking of starting an "en passant" collection where it's possible but not taken. I think that it's rarer that ep is passed up than taken. |

Nov-24-03 Tartakower vs Schlechter, 1909
| |
| stinkymagoo: 10...h6 definitely doesn't sit right with me. Was it so late for black that 23...Qxf1 was absolutely necessary? I wonder if there was any other possible way out. |

Nov-24-03 P Wang vs K Mouradian, 2000
| |
| stinkymagoo: DK, I believe you understood me exactly. Thank you for the story. It fits my point entirely. I'm going to assume that both of the players were amateur (ie, do NOT make a living playing chess) and therefore keeping secrets from each other is kind of stupid. Honestly. Do you guys ... |

Nov-08-03 Bleischmidt vs Lytschuk, 1976
| |
| stinkymagoo: I don't think that 4. Ba4 was the best way to respond to 3...a6. I would go for 4. Bxc6 to force black into a takeback decision. |
