|
| Dec-25-04 | | refutor: <FICS> http://www.freechess.org |
|
| Dec-25-04 | | iron maiden: In line with the trend, I'm celebrating kibitz #3000 here. Merry Christmas, everybody. |
|
| Dec-25-04 | | Dave Murray: <Avion>
FICS (Free Internet Chess Server)
http://www.freechess.org
Two things;
1.You can't register with most of free e-mail accounts (like; hotmail, yahoo). 2. The interface is pretty confusing, well for me it was. |
|
| Dec-25-04 | | Knight13: <ughaibu: Knight13: dont you do chocolate?> The caffein keeped me awake doing the day and it helped me a lot. Yes, I do chocolate. |
|
| Dec-25-04 | | yoozum: happy "tricentennial" <iron maiden>. so, what did everyone get for christmas? i got 3 sweaters (1 of which i don't really like), 1 pair of pants, "Starsky and Hutch" from my sister, a comb for my long "punk" hair, a can of ginger ale and "How to play the Queen's Gambit", which hasn't arrived yet, and probably won't for a few days. since i was confined to the house due to celebrations, i spent the entire day at the table drinking Anjou wine and eating salad (so good!). oh, and listening to pink floyd, van halen, and red hot chili peppers. |

<The caffein keeped me awake doing the day and it helped me a lot.> I just hope you aren't developing a caffeine addiction. You may want to check http://faculty.washington.edu/chudl...
to see if you suffer from any of the symptoms.
<Yes, I do chocolate.> The first step to dealing with your addiction is admitting you have a problem. |
|
| Dec-25-04 | | Dave Murray: <yoozum> Some people are so lucky! I forgot that all the stores will be closed and didn't have any food, I didn't have any cat food either, so my cats kept on bothering me all day. Also all my friends are with their families, so nobody could hang out this weekend, so I stayed at home by myself (with nothing good eat!) :(. If it wouldn't be for chessgames.com I would've died of boredom! |
|
| Dec-25-04 | | iron maiden: I got a digital chess clock (which actually won't arrive till Monday) and a new magnetic set, since I'd lost some of the pieces to my old one. My older brother gave me Searching for Bobby Fischer on DVD, and I also got a bit of NASCAR apparel, some clothes, a couple of paperback novels and a car. It was a good Christmas. |
|
| Dec-25-04 | | InfinityCircuit: You got a car !! (Brilliant Move...lol) And you listed it after the new chess set ?! (dubious). Interesting list...I finally got MCO-14 |
|
| Dec-25-04 | | Backward Development: nice haul im!
i got 'mastering the najdorf', a watch, and some money. I'll probably get a pocketbook magnetic set and a digital clock soon with my money. |
|
| Dec-25-04 | | Backward Development: infinity:
i still haven't 'bought' MCO-14, but i've probably checked it out from the library close to a dozen times.
you play e4 and prefer more drawish games? that's unusual. what do you play as black? caro-kann? Petrov's? |
|
| Dec-26-04 | | yoozum: <Dave Murray>, aww man, i'm sorry. make sure to feed those cats. i only have 1 cat, but it seems like there's 3 cats in the house because he is very active and likes to destroy things at night. actually, i think he's up to no good in the next room, let me check... OMG, my cat just took a toilet paper roll and stretched it across several rooms making a huge mess. best ignore it and wait for the parents to handle it in the morning and get a good laugh out of it (i kid you not, this actually did happen conveniently while i was writing this) <IM>, what kind of chess clock? i bought a not-so-great one off of ebay for 30 bucks, but it turned out to be pretty good, despite it being of the "Chess Clock" brand of chess clocks. i felt really guilty accepting my presents knowing that i still have to reimburse my parents the 260 dollars it cost to repair my car. amazingly, despite my car nearly flipping, all the damage that it suffered was a flat. the majority of the expenses go to Sam's Towing. all i have to say is that 1992 was a good year for volvos. |
|
| Dec-26-04 | | iron maiden: <yoozum> Not sure what kind; all my parents told me was that it's digital. My cats were a lot of trouble today, too; one of them brought a decapitated mouse to the door in the middle of Christmas dinner. No joke. |
|
| Dec-26-04 | | yoozum: lol, i see you had a very bloody christmas. the cat i had that disappeared last year was also quite bad. he's occasionally bring in live squirrels/mice into the house, rip up mice in the bathroom, leaving the walls red with blood. my favorite occurence has to be when he brought in a chipmunk, ripped it in half, and put the body in one of my dad's slippers and the tail in the other. i'm serious. |
|
| Dec-26-04 | | yoozum: oh, and my dog knocked the christmas roast on the floor. my mom had to rinse it with water and quickly re-fry it. but that's definitely not as bad as having your cat slaughter something on the holiest christian day of the year, lol. |

 | | tpstar: <Dave Murray> Next time you're stuck, go to a gas station. They're bound to be open and have some cat food (albeit twice as expensive) or else tuna fish to tide them over. Your cats are precious. <Fellas> I'm glad everyone had a great Christmas. As you're enjoying your gifts, please take a minute to count all the wonderful blessings in your life = family, friends, pets, health, shelter, food, good times, happiness, chess. And if you're Christian, consider the true meaning of the holiday also. Best wishes for 2005! |
|
| Dec-26-04 | | Dave Murray: I remember one of my cats brought a rabbit on our front porch and I didn't see it and stepped on it and all his intestines came out, that was nasty. |
|
| Dec-26-04 | | Dave Murray: <tpstar> My local gas station was closed, I am not sure about all of them though. For some reason I though they were all closed. |
|
| Dec-26-04 | | yoozum: <DaveMurray>, LOL, and i thought stepping on my cat's vomit in the dark was bad! christmas doesn't hold much of a meaning for me religiously, but it's nice to spend it with family and friends. NOTE: i am a full-blown atheist who celebrates christmas. i also wear a sterling silver pentagram from Dublin around my neck, which makes me a Satanic Atheist.
(contradictory, but cool...) |
|
| Dec-26-04 | | Knight13: <maoam> I use caffein when I need to. I don't misuse it. I sometimes use it. No big deal. I drink coffee. Thanks for the advice, though. |
