 | | Sally Simpson: Just as I posted my last a wee message popped up. "Castle Soon and Often."
I'm Ok with 'soon' But how often can you castle in a game, Heidenfeld accepted Wolfgang Heidenfeld (kibitz #3) I thought it was only once. |

 | | keypusher: <okiesooner: Congratulations to Jonathan Penrose's brother, Roger Penrose, who has been awarded the Nobel Prize in physics.> I suppose that's some slight consolation for having thrown his life away on science. |

 | | WannaBe: <keypusher> Absolutely... All those decades of work and all you get is a gold medal and some cash... You can't even have an office party to celebrate, raise a toast or two. All you can do is Zoom a bunch of people and pretend you like them. Plus the committee calls you at 2:30AM to wake you up. You have no idea how many times I get called and finally added them to my block-list. I'll also bet Jonathan have more follower than Roger on any Social Media. =))) |
|
Oct-06-20 | | Diademas: Quite the family. His father, grandfather, two brothers and a sister were all professors and leading scientists. Imagine being a GM, a PhD, and still considered the daft slacker at family dinners. |
|

 | | Dionysius1: Nice one <WannaBe>! £433,000 and change for a half share in this year's Nobel Price in physics will provide a handy enough office party (think Zoom technology and take away). |

 | | MissScarlett: <Black Holes Matter> but I suggest you keep your distance. |
|
Oct-07-20 | | Nosnibor: Why is he not mentioned in the birthday list today ? |
|
Oct-07-20
 | | MissScarlett: Give over. #firstworldproblems |

 | | perfidious: Not sure whether the process is simply overlooking some birthdays, is to some degree selective; or is perhaps a little of both. |
|

 | | MissScarlett: John Penrose is trending on Twitter... https://twitter.com/vicderbyshire/s... Thank God, I thought our man was dead! Not that that would be trending, come to think of it. |

 | | Dionysius1: Goodness no, becoming a politician isn't QUITE the same as dying. Maybe when they boot him upstairs he can contribute his chessicle attributes to strategic governance. |

 | | MissScarlett: <His brothers are Oliver Penrose and noted author and physicist Roger...> Editor's dilemma - are or were? |
|
Dec-02-21 | | Brenin: RIP, Jonathan Penrose. You showed us what was possible. |
|
Dec-03-21
 | | perfidious: RIP to the man <Diademas> termed (tongue in cheek, of course) 'the daft slacker'. Dr Penrose made immense contributions to British chess throughout his long life. We may thank him for these. |
|
Dec-03-21 | | Nosnibor: RIP Jonathan Penrose. Record holder of the British Championship title. |

 | | John Saunders: The pen picture needs amendment: Jonathan Penrose was NOT an Emeritus (or Honorary) GM, he was the genuine article. The title was belatedly awarded in the 1990s following an official reassessment of his earlier performances. Link here for Leonard Barden's explanation: https://www.ecforum.org.uk/viewtopi... |
|
Dec-04-21 | | wordfunph: rest in peace, GM Penrose. |
