| Dec-06-03 | | InspiredByMorphy: Probably so. French terms such as "en passant", and others used in older books desribing certain actions. For some great games check out Morphy vs NN. |
|
| Dec-06-03 | | ughaibu: InspiredByMorphy: You might like my Game Collection: Blackburne and Tal meet NN |
|
| Dec-06-03 | | InspiredByMorphy: Thank you ughaibu. Very nicely put together! |
|
| Dec-21-03 | | Bitzovich: I think its quite obvious that NN stands for players whose names are missing in catalogue... that would explain why this NN (by the way why does he look like a poet there?) lived for over 400 years |
|
| Jan-14-04 | | boneheadcharles: Yeah. I mean, NN is probably an "unknown amateur". I was looking at a game that supposedly, NN played against Staunton, NN vs Staunton, 1841
It said that "unknown" was playing white but still, in the game list, it said that NN was white.
Also, NN actually beat Staunton in that game. |

 | | Sneaky: I always thought it meant "no name", e.g., there is a scoresheet and where it says White______ there is no name written. |
|
| Jan-15-04 | | boneheadcharles: NN is either "unknown" or "amateur". |
|
| Jan-15-04 | | Phoenix: You know, this NN guy plays like a patzer most of the time, and then sometimes plays like a genius! |
|

 | | tamar: Are you sure NN was a guy? Isn't he wearing a scarf? |
|
| Jan-15-04 | | Pawn Ambush: A 412 year old woman Noooooooooo!!!! |
|
| Jan-16-04 | | D.A. KALIM: It's very funny where the topic is heading.....jejejeje!:-) |
|
| Jan-16-04 | | technical draw: Actually the profile is that of Oscar Wilde. |
|

| | tamar: Oh I see. The Portrait of Dorian Gray.
Chessgames is very clever. |
|
| Jan-16-04 | | tud: You know what guys ? We are the NN. Just multiple personalities. However WE make chess history when Capa sleeps with women, Alekhine gets drunk and Tal gives up results for beautiful stuff. |
|
| Jan-25-04 | | SamusAran: Why didn't NN get the picture he would lose to Greco evry time? On that matter, didn't he get the picture he would lose most of the time to anybody he played?? It's been 412 years, you know. |
|
| Jan-26-04 | | Lawrence: Samus, some of us just play to give our opponents the pleasure of winning. |
|
| Jan-26-04 | | boneheadcharles: On Chessmaster 9000 there is a database, a huge one, full of chess games. They had about two NN games. I'm almost certain that NN isn't a legendary 412 year-old person, but an unknown amateur. |
|
| Feb-05-04 | | sac 4 mate: Actually, most of us are NN, because most of us are unknown amateurs. I for one know if I played Tal or Kasparov, I'd get crushed just as badly. |
|
| Feb-05-04 | | karnak64: Well, let's not forget that poor NN gets slandered by being named as the opponent in the (probably) composed games of Greco, Prince Dardian, &c. The guy can't catch a break -- he's blamed for games he never even played! |
|
Feb-05-04
| | tamar: 1620 was an awful year for NN. |
|
Feb-05-04
| | Sneaky: You'd probably have a hard time too if you had to play Greco game after game. |
|
| Feb-05-04 | | iron maiden: If I had to play Greco, sure, but I think I'd last more than nine moves. And NN was a spring chicken in 1620--age 30. Chessplayer's prime. |
|
| Feb-06-04 | | Calchexas: You have to remember, 9 is the "unknown amateur number." It's how fast a game where Black plays in perfect symmetry is over: 1. e4 e5
2. Bc4 Bc5
3. d4 d5
4. exd5 exd4
5. Nh3 Nh6
6. 0-0 0-0
7. Qd3 Qd6
8. Ng5 Ng4
9. Qxh7# |
|
| Feb-18-04 | | Bears092: 1. e4 e5
2. Bc4 Bc5
3. Qh5 Qh4
4. Qxf7 # |
|
| Feb-18-04 | | ughaibu: 4....Kd8 |
