Labate Chess Store:
"So the Canadian seller received 10 boxes with 200 books in each box, eh??? Larry...International shipping regulations requires parcels don't exceed 30 kilograms...aka...66 pounds...they don't want their workers getting hernias or blowing out their backs. Assuming Bobby's book weighing only 8 ounces (the 1969 Simon & Schuster paperback weighs exactly 15.9 ounces!!), the parcels would have exceeded 46 kilograms, or 101 pounds, which of course means, they would have exceeded international shipping regulations by at least 50%. My guess is that the book would have weighed at least 12 ounces (ya know that old argument about Algebraic taking up less space than Descriptive Notation?!?!), which would have put 200 book boxes at over 70 kilograms/154 pounds or more than DOUBLE what they would been allowed to ship...no matter who accepts the shipment. I've been receiving books from Europe for almost 30 years. Most of the time, the boxes come in at less than 20 kilograms or 44 pounds, and that includes CHESS INFORMANTS and ECOs from Hamburg, Germany." Ed Trice:
6. Labate somehow knows how much the boxes of books weigh and where they are being shipped from overseas. Nobody else has this information. <Yes, they did.> |

Apr-26-09 | | JonDSouzaEva: <Geaux Cool> The information you posted is very interesting. Do you think Gene Milener could be the person who actually published "My 61 Memorable Games"? I don't mean the person who wrote the book, that is obviously that buffoon Trice. |

Steinitz was fond of it, see
Fischer random in 1875 :
http://www.chesscentral.com/game-ch...
Unforunately at that link, the SAN (Standard Algebraic Notation) given for the chess960 (FRC) game has at minimum two gross errors.
[A] Black could not have moved 4... c3, obviously. I tried reinterpreting that notation as 4... c6, but that failed when the notation later says 9... c6.
[B] White never castled. His first king move was 16. Kc2, which cannot be possible.
- - - -
SAN notation errors are more common in chess960 (FRC) than in traditional chess (or "chess1").
This is probably because in chess1 the pieces repeat the same subset of familiar placements and interrelationships game after game.
In comparison chess960 has a broader variety of interrelationships between the pieces, and we are not yet routinely familiar with most of them.
One remedy to avoid chess960 notation errors is LAN (Long Algebraic Notation), instead of SAN.
I have noticed many books discuss analysis ideas using LAN, but they return to SAN for live moves. Why do those books switch to LAN? I presume because the origin square information is helpful to human readers. It seems a shame then that SAN is usually used for live moves.
Personally I prefer to go a few steps further than LAN. <I use CCRAN (Colorized Concise Reversible Algebraic Notation)> notation. SAN: 22. Bg4 Qf6 23. Rxc3
LAN: 22. Bf3-g4 Qf5-f6 23. Rg3xc3
<CRAN>: 22. Bf3g4 Qf56 23. Rg3:Nc
CCRAN: 22. Tf3g4 qf56 23. Rg3:nc
The ideas in CRAN are (1) record the origin square letter and digit first, (2) notate the destination square only with new info - meaning do not repeat the same letter or digit from the origin, and (3) record the type of piece taken.
<For me CCRAN was so easy to get used to that I felt no transition period, it was nearly instant.>> -----

I don't know who he is, but Gene_M's willingness to be used by Ed Trice during his final Iceland trip is suggested by this: <I do know that as a side event Bobby recently was given a signed copy of my chess960 book, and that he had not previously known of its existence. I think Bobby replied something like "I will definitely take a look at it".> He advocates the use of "specific color notation" in Nov 2006, in order to solve the confusion with randomly-placed Chess 960 pieces. He self-published the "Play Stronger..." book in Jan 2006, which didn't use the two-color notation. This suggests that he may have been writing or publishing something in Nov 2006 which did, because he then writes that the transition was easy to make: M61 - Fischer's Colorized Figurines were invented for Chess 960
http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_538-FFQ4e... Gene_M provides expert opinion to provide misleading information. He failed to tell us that these "Fischer fonts" are the same style used by his Chess Variant Friend, Ed Trice, on his gothiches site, as you had noted earlier, and which appears here: http://www.gothicchess.com/images/n... One thing. From the Labate Chess Store, we learn that Cathy Purdy of Bookmasters, http://www.bookmasters.com/services..., was approached by Ed Trice to publish M61, but we don't learn whether she actually did the publishing. |

Why Bobby Fischer loved RP, Filipinos
By Vincent Cabreza
Northern Luzon Bureau
First Posted 00:14:00 01/20/2008 (line spacing condensed)
BAGUIO CITY -- ...<Fischer played tennis at the Baguio Country Club and had a romance with a 30-year-old woman from Davao named <Marilyn Young> in Baguio City before he went on exile to Iceland.
Fischer’s certified Filipino heir, 7-year-old Jinky, was born in 2002 at the Saint Louis University Sacred Heart Hospital here.
The girl’s birth certificate bears the name “Robert James Fischer” as her father, <but she kept her mother’s maiden name, “Young.”>
The 6-foot-tall Fischer used to consume large servings of Filipino food and adored sinigang (a popular soup broth) when he lived here for almost two years, said Marilin Torre, wife of Filipino grandmaster Eugene Torre...
...<Marilin Torre said Marilyn Young, then already based in Davao, kept in close touch with Fischer> even after another friend, Miyoko Watari, publicly declared that she would marry the controversial celebrity to keep him out of Japanese prison.>
http://www.thorstenczub.de/phantomb...
---
Maybe I'm wrong, but in my opinion Tim Krabbe made a small error, and it was pasted into M61MG. This is because GM Torre attends the inheritance meeting, and Marilyn Torre calls her "Marilyn Young", not Justine Ong, while Jinky keeps her mother's maiden name "Young" not "Ong". But someone who apparently needs Justine to exist has added her to Bobby's page at Wikipedia, citing Krabbe's mistake and not the newspaper reports. In doing so, they have displaced Marilyn's name altogether: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobby_...
<"Torre introduced Fischer to a 22-year-old woman named Justine Ong (or Marilyn Young). On May 21, 2001 Justine Ong gave birth to Jinky Ong>. |

Apr-28-09 | | GeauxCool: Wayback writing sample from the Bobbby website, 2002 Dirty, rotten Jewballs:
For Mr. Bob Ellsworth <"shame"> is just a word in the dictionary It's business as usual for the Jewish liar, embezzler and thief Bob Ellsworth. For this hardened, heartless Jewish criminal robbing all of Bobby Fischer's belongings in storage was a <"piece of cake."> Like taking candy from a baby. Hardly worth losing any sleep over. As a Jew he is convinced of the superiority of his <"race"> and even more importantly he knows that the fix is on and that the police won't touch him! As you may recall in about late 1998 or early 1999 the U.S.government, Bob Ellsworth and Bekins Moving and Storage company(Pasadena, California branch) plundered all of Bobby Fischer's cash valuables and other belongings (including his gold and silver coin collections) which Mr. Fischer had kept in storage at the Pasadena, California branch of Bekins Moving and Storage company for many years. However, it should be pointed out that Bob Ellsworth was a very wealthy man even before he entered into the above mentioned conspiracy to rob all of Fischer's belongings at Bekins! For example, for well over 15 years now Bob Ellsworth(Robert D. Ellsworth) and another dirty Jew by the name of Bob Kuhn(Robert L. Kuhn) are the partners and co-owners of the Professional Cassette Center, 408 S. Pasadena Ave, Suite 4, Pasadena, CA 91105 U.S.A. Telephone(1)626-799-9000 Click here for 2 photocopied pages of an old Bobby Fischer address book. Now, believing that <"the coast is clear"> and that the mega-robbery of all of Fischer's belongings in Bekins is a <"fait accompli"> and anxious to maximize his profits Ellsworth has resumed a campaign of massive mass advertizing of his cassette language tapes. http://web.archive.org/web/*/http:/... |

Apr-28-09 | | GeauxCool: For those keeping score:
2 points for <Ed Trice>. |
|
Apr-28-09 | | JonDSouzaEva: <GeauxCool> I've received an e-mail from Gene Milener and I no longer suspect that he is the person responsible for printing "My 61 Memorable Games". Also, Edward Labate is sure that it wasn't Cathy Purdy of www.bookmasters.com either. She was contacted by Trice, but nothing came of the quote she game him. One day someone will track down who printed "My 61 Memorable Games". Perhaps then even people like IM "Ducky" Day and Bruce "It's a bootleg" Towell will have to admit defeat. Trice has proven time and time again that he is too arrogant and stupid to cover his tracks properly. Truth will out. |
|
Apr-28-09
 | | chancho: According to the e-mail in Labate's website, Towell mentions that the book was printed in Copenhagen Denmark.
Here's a directory of the publishers there:
http://www.publishersglobal.com/dir... |
|
Apr-28-09 | | Jim Bartle: Piggy, you're making the common mistake there. Those are publishers, which prepare and distribute books. What you need is a list of printers in Denmark, which simply print the books and send them to the publishers. They charge for the service but have no interest in its performance in the marketplace. |
|
Apr-28-09
 | | chancho: <Jim> Thanks for pointing that out. |

|
Apr-28-09 | | JonDSouzaEva: Is there any evidence that the book was actually printed in Denmark? It seems very unlikely to me. I suspect that Philadelphia is a little closer to where the printing was actually done. http://www.aeonix.com/bookprnt.htm#... lists only one company based in Philadelphia, though I'm sure that's not a definitive list. |

"...UBS has without giving any reason or explanation whatsoever, unilaterally "terminated" and then plundered all of my UBS savings account..." http://www.geocities.jp/bobbby_b/ne...
http://www.geocities.jp/bobbby_b/ne...
>
Are we trading accusations of posting bias? How about this: Fischer's complaint is bogus, although of course he wrote it. Check out the communiction on either side of his scrawl (omitted from previous post): <Letter demanding that UBS reinstate the Fischer accounts with all assets as of 2005.>
http://www.geocities.jp/bobbby_b/ne...
<Rejection by bank that they have anything more to do with Fischer or his money.>
http://www.geocities.jp/bobbby_b/ne...
Rambling, incorrect accusation from Fischer:
<HELP! UBS Stripped my assets & plundered my account>
http://www.geocities.jp/bobbby_b/ne...
Icelandic govt. says this is a personal matter. They do not acknowledge that any international laws, plundering, or other illegality had occured. http://www.geocities.jp/bobbby_b/ne...
So I disagree that this is a point that should be awarded to <Trice> unless you want to say that "Fischer fooled him." But how about this as a point to award Trice: From email correspondence quoted by Labate's <Destroy Trice> page, <ET>'s email said that the printer has sent him Fischer's manuscript since they needed help deciphering it. Well, looking at that letter to the Iceland Prime Minister's office, I can certainly understand how that <might> have happened. . |
