May-03-25 Biographer Bistro    jnpope: I think the glitches were during the main development cycle (check the dates and version numbers of the release being discussed). I've been using it for a few years at this point and I've never encountered a glitch (but there are definitely things that could use improvement), but at ...      May-03-25 Ethelbert Grabill    jnpope: Ethelbert Warren Grabill's father was Ethelbert Henry Grabill and his grandfather was Nimrod Grabill, born 8-Jun-1805 in Pennsylvania. It's possible Nimrod and Rudolph were related, but I don't have any earlier data for either tree.      May-01-25 Henry Jennings Nowell    jnpope: Sounds familiar... https://www.oxfordreference.com/dis...      May-01-25 Theodore Steward vs Allies, 1858   jnpope: Allies were members of the Stafford Chess Club.      May-01-25 Allies vs Hart / Steward, 1858   jnpope: Allies were members of the Brewood Chess Club.      May-01-25 Beetlestone   jnpope: Is the H. A. Beetlestone mentioned in the <British Chess Magazine>, v45, 1925, p115 and p161 a descendant (as chess sometimes runs in families)?      May-01-25 Albert White   jnpope: I did find mention that Senior also played chess, however I haven't found any games played by him so far.      Apr-30-25 Andrew Smith    jnpope: <Sorry (or maybe not!) for being so insistent.> Don't be. I like to think of you as keeping me intellectually honest (at times).      Apr-29-25 Ernest Maguire    jnpope: I'm skeptical of your skepticism.      Apr-27-25 Thomas Lawrence   jnpope: <NewspaperChessArchiv>, thanks for the info.

Nov-22-24    jnpope: https://www.britannica.com/place/Ge... https://germanhistorydocs.org/en/fr... Nov-26-24    jnpope: Game Collection: Jurata 1937 Polish championship Nov-27-24    jnpope: Martin St Leon Nov-29-24    jnpope: Baron Pahlen General Mikhailov Dr J von Manteuffel Dec-02-24    mifralu: Prince Matchabelli (kibitz #3) Dec-02-24    jnpope: Thank you for finding that information. I was building a list of players to investigate after I return home from holiday. Dec-03-24    mifralu: Martin St Leon (kibitz #1) Dec-09-24    jnpope: Another successful journey concluded. I left yesterday at 7.38am and arrived back home at 11.51pm. 1,233 miles in a little over 16 hours (only two brief stops to refuel). https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Nok... For comparison: https://maps.app.goo.gl/whSeczftifP... Dec-09-24    stone free or die: Might I ask, did you drive by yourself for sixteen hours straight? If so you're a certifiable maniac. That's Carlsen level grinding! (Entertaining comparison, though there you'd at least have the reward of a nice glass of Highland Park!) Dec-09-24    jnpope: Yes. Solo drive non-stop. Dec-10-24    stone free or die: That's averaging about 76 mph isn't it? Just curious do you have a radar/ladar detector? And do actually ever go to Lions' games? . Dec-10-24    jnpope: No detection device. I use the FIT method (traveling the speed of the Fastest Indigenous Traffic in each state). I figure they know where all the speed traps are (I also have Waze on my phone). The closest I've come to Ford Field is Comerica Park (I do attend Tigers games). But I have an open invite (first refusal) to home games from a sports junkie friend. Dec-11-24    stone free or die: Never knew that technique (ie FIT) had a name. I might have called it the left-lane-blend-in. Dec-16-24    jnpope: Richard Fenton R. F. Fenton, formerly of Swansea, according to the Cardiff <Weekly Mail> Dec-29-24    jnpope: Rudolf Czaikowsky Dec-31-24    jnpope: Lowenthal in the Bohn edition (pp.405-413) and Segeant (pp.315-319) give these 6 games as being played by the same Amateur: 1 Morphy vs Worrall, 1858 2 Morphy vs Worrall, 1858 3 Morphy vs NN, 1857 4 Morphy vs J McConnell, 1858 5 Morphy vs NN, 1857 6 Morphy vs Worrall, 1858 Dec-31-24    jnpope: These 6 games are not given as being played by the same amateur Appleton edition (pp.439-450). Jan-28-25    jnpope: http://www.nli.org.il/en/newspapers... Looks like his column started on 1914.11.22 an ran until 1923.04.13 (at least). Jan-28-25    stone free or die: When did his column run? (Weekly? What day?) Could someone provide a direct link to one of his columns so I could see how Google's toolset does with Yiddish? (It's so close to German that I think it should be ok, but I only have the vague-ish memories of encountering that language in a chess column before) Jan-29-25    jnpope: It appears to have been weekly. The day it appeared changed over the years. Here's a link to the first column as a pdf download (page 8 of the 22 November 1914 issue). https://www.nli.org.il/en/newspaper... Apr-16-25    BarakSaltz: The Cedar Rapids magazine "The Pawn" (1910-1911) is available on Hathitrust. https://catalog.hathitrust.org/Reco... Apr-16-25    jnpope: Thanks!
