CHESSGAMES - BEER

[what is this?]

Beer is believed to be over 10,000 years old. Although no one knows its exact origins, some agricultural historians believe that the first beer may have been produced accidentally when a stash of grain was soaked by rain and then warmed by the sun. If this mixture were spontaneously fermented by wild, airborne yeast—which thrives in just these warm, moist conditions—beer would have been produced (Encarta).

Fermented beverages have been preferred over water throughout the ages: they are safer, provide psychotropic effects, and are more nutritious. Some have even said alcohol was the primary agent for the development of Western civilization, since more healthy individuals (even if inebriated much of the time) lived longer and had greater reproductive success. (Upenn Museum)

"Sir, if you were my husband, I would poison your drink." -Lady Astor to Winston Churchill
"Madam, if you were my wife, I would drink it."
-His reply

"The problem with the world is that everyone is a few drinks behind." -Humphrey Bogart

Amen

Dec-30-07  Halldor: White to play - 43. ?


click for larger view

I was white and should have lost this game - maybe rather a coffeehouse style than Beer Chess. Played at ChessWorld.net. The last moves were 41. Nb1-c3!? <why not to try the last resource?> Ne4xc3 42. Kd3xc3 Kf4-e3?? <diagram>. <42... b7-b6 was necessary>. - Now I played 43. b5-b6, a simple winning move. My opponent told me he knew this well known trick, but he was too hasty - he saw his mistake before I played the winning move. - The game continued 43.b6 cxb6 44.a6 bxc5 45.axb7 cxd4+ 46.Kb2 d3 47.b8Q f4 48.Qe5+ Kd2 49.Qxf4+ Ke2 50.Kc1 1-0

Dec-30-07  Halldor: In the game Wade vs Korchnoi, 1960 is a similar theme, White to play - 38. ?

This was the puzzle of the day at Chessgames.com Dec. 5th 2006.

Raymond Keene also showed this position in his Times' column July 9th this year: http://entertainment.timesonline.co...

38. a5 1-0

Jan-01-08  whiteshark: The best cure for a hangover is the hair of the dog that bit you.
Jan-01-08  whiskeyrebel: one way to prevent a hangover is to simply keep going..
Jan-01-08  Akavall: Another way to prevent a hangover or greatly reduce it is to drink plenty of water before going to bed, but, of course, the fact that one was in the condition to remember to do it suggests that they weren't *that* drunk to begin with :).

Jan-02-08  schnarre: Beer Chess looks well worth a try (though on a day I've got nothing else planned, of course).

Thanks for the words of wisdom malthrope!

Jan-03-08  malthrope: <schnarre: [...] Thanks for the words of wisdom malthrope!> Hehehe... Thanks <schnarre> :)

It's getting much tougher to find good eclectic beer (drinking) quotes, but I recently came across these... Me thinks the world may have to drink more beer, so collectively the percentage increases that more 'beer quotes' will be forthcoming! <burp> ~lol~

So, without further adieu...
