  TheAlchemist: <notsodeepthought, Jan-09-06, A J Goldsby > :

To All you Life Masters, Chessplayers
My supporters as well as naysayers
We may talk if you have a Home Page
But if not, you'll incur in my rage
And are YOU rated Two-Two-Oh-Oh?
No you are not, huh? of course, I thought so
Still, for dollars two fifty a game
I will play you and put you to shame
For I shall either win - "CHECK, CHECK, MATE!"
Or I'll shout in a voice that will grate
"This man is a cheater/used Fritz
He is worse than those dreadful Kibitz-
Ers called Hayton3, Chancho, KingG
Who are nothing but jealous of me"
But that's fine, if you really want war,
Then straight you go into my Ignore
List (which always has room for one more)
And besides, as my old Sarge could tell
"Opinions, like arseholes, do smell"
So I soldier on bravely, with pluck,
Have no fear, I will not come unstuck
And I yell my war cry for good luck
"NYUK NYUK NYUK NYUK NYUK NYUK NYUK NYUK NYUK!!!"

In the picture above it's: "Adams to Kasim, Adams to Kasim, how do you copy"?

  TheAlchemist: This is my doing from Robert Schinkmann. It's a trailer for a brand new blockbuster movie:

<the voice>

They have googled. They have asked questions. A chess community in search of a man. In search of a dream.

<scene from the movie>

(1st guy punches the 2nd guy)

"Where the hell is Schinkmann?"

(the 2nd guy spits the 1st guy in the face)

"Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk."

<the voice>

One community. One mission. One chance. This summer, in theaters

SEARCHING FOR BOBBY SCHINKMANN

Jan-10-06  Endgame: It's long... but funny!

LancelotduLac: Here is my brilliancy, it was in a correspondence game against the immortal Schinkmann. Note that it has all the relevant information, i.e., name of my opponent, date and tournament, so you can rest assured that it's genuine:

[White: "Robert Schinkmann"]
[Black: "LancelotduLac"]
[Date: August 14, 1938]
[Tournament: 1st Correspondence Championship of the World] [Result: 0-1]

1. f4 e5!!

My opponent wouldn't accept this move and demanded that I take it back. He said I should feel pathetic and told me to take up checkers instead.

2. fxe5 d6
3. exd6 Bxd6
4. Nc3 Qh4ch!!!

Here my opponent chided me for my ignorance of the rule "don't bring your queen out too early"

5. g3 Qxg3ch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here my opponent, who was rated 2438 at the time, told me that I was the worst player he'd ever played against and that I should feel nyukish.

6. hxg3?!

Here my opponent demanded my resignation, telling me he would not accept any other move. I told him to wait patiently for me to unleash a subtle and brilliant novelty.

6... Bxg3#

At this point Mihail Tal, who was watching the game intently, told me that I was his hero and practically begged me to play a blitz game with him. I told him that I have 9 billion other games going on and that if he wanted the privilege of playing a me, a LIFEKNIGHTOFTHEROUNDTABLE, he would have to dish out at least $250 and contribute at least $500,000 to my website a year (PER YEAR). He did, and our game would have been a draw but I generously let him win on time. Then Ken Whyld asked me if I would analyse the game and co-write a book about it. Then my good friend Arnold Denker asked me what my opinion was of the Tartakower-Sultan Khan match of 1931, and I told him that 400 top Grandmasters had already e-mailed me about this and he would have to wait his turn. Then Rustam Kamsky and Larry Christiansen tried to strangle me but I broke their arms in 4 places and took em to court, where I served as the Judge, prosecution, and jury. The punks were sent to jail. More on this later, nyuk nyuk.

  TheAlchemist: <yoozum, Jan-10-06, Garry Kasparov >:

Some little-known Garry Kasparov facts:
(based on the Chuck Norris ones)

Garry Kasparov's tears cure cancer. Too bad he has never cried.

A man once asked Garry Kasparov if his real name is "Weinstein". Garry Kasparov did not respond, he simply stared at him until he exploded.

Garry Kasparov does not sleep. He waits.

Garry Kasparov took my virginity, and he will sure as hell take yours. If you're thinking to yourself, "That's impossible, I already lost my virginity.", then you are dead wrong.

Garry Kasparov once ate three 72 oz. steaks in one hour. He spent the first 45 minutes having sex with his waitress.

Garry Kasparov doesn't read books. He stares them down until he gets the information he wants.

Garry Kasparov can mathematically make two wrongs equal a right.

Whenever Garry Kasparov produces a novelty, a building explodes.

The quickest way to a man's heart is with Garry Kasparov's Sicilian.

When Garry Kasparov sends in his taxes, he sends blank forms and includes only a picture of himself, with a fierce look in front of a chess board. Garry Kasparov has not had to pay taxes ever.

In a fight between Batman and Superman, the winner would be Garry Kasparov.

Fire does not burn Garry Kasparov, Garry Kasparov burns fire.

When Garry Kasparov does his laundry, he prefers the gentle cycle. He can't feel a difference, but he thinks softer clothes helps him blend in with mortals.

There is no theory of evolution, just a list of creatures Garry Kasparov allows to live.

Garry Kasparov does not go playing chess because "playing" implies a chance of failure. Garry Kasparov goes "winning".

150,000 chess players die from Garry Kasparov related accidents every year.

  cu8sfan: Lol! We've had these on the Kasparov page a while ago but it's lost in the >300 pages.

  cu8sfan: Actually it's not lost, visit the Garry Kasparov page on JUL-19-04 and keep on reading. Should be in the 50-ish to 60-ish region depending on ignore lists.
Jan-13-06  Endgame: According to Einstein's theory of relativity, Garry Kasparov can checkmate you yesterday!
Jan-16-06  RonB52734: <Memorable Quotes> I just happened across your profile and it made my eyes water (kinda like bad gas, only better).

Mad props

Jan-16-06  RonB52734: And here's one I saw from September 5, 2004 on the page Browne vs Kneebone, 1985:

tamar: Awright. Stop the puns. What kind of joint do you think this is?

Jan-17-06  SnoopDogg: Wow those quotes made me laugh to tears...

I have some about Garry...

Garry Kasparov is so scary, he makes computers have nightmares of him in sleep mode.

When printing out a PGN of Garry's games, my printer had a heart attack and never recovered.

When Garry Kasparov lost a game of checkers to me, he replied, "The game is flawed," and days later Hydra and several computers confirmed this.

When Garry Kasparov was asked what would happen to the world if he fell below 2800 he replied, "Ever heard of the Dark Ages?"

Recent evidence suggests Kasparov was not born in Baku, but rather in an explosion off the coast of Bermuda which explains the strange occurences of the Bermuda Triangle.

  TheAlchemist: A few quotes by our good friend <Jaymthegenius> a.k.a. <Jaymthetactician>:

<May-03-05, The Kibitzer's Café >:

Also, here is a fictional story of me going to a tournament:

Jay: "The Something or other open, sound's fun!"

Al "Yeah, you have Kosteniuk in the 1st round, so good luck, oh there she is!"

Jay "How beutiful!"

Al:"Yeah, isnt she?"

Jay: "Oh, I wasnt refering to Kosteniuk, there is a wine expo!"

Al: "Dude, you have a game, and so do I"

Jay: But we have time! And besides, I have no time to play a game with a girl when I can enjoy lot's of fine Cabournet, Champaign, wines, the liquor store and super marker only have under $20.00 wines, utterly classless California cheap wine! But this! This is class and style! (I am drinking a glass of $500.00 French wine aged to absolute perfection)

Jay: Ahhh, what a fine cabournet! The sweet taste of this wine is sure worth missing the (a really big russian guy throws me over his shoulder and say's: You have a chess game! And having wine before a game with a destinguished GM of the 1st order, well, good luck!)

Jay: HELP! GET ME DOWN!

Jay: (at the tournament): "Being 5 minutes late at a 60/1 time increment, better hurry!" (I go on to lose in 2o moves, I was black playing the From's gambit against Kosteniuk"

Kosteniuk: "I smell very fine wine off of you, what an honor to defeat someone with such class! The 1st prize is a $1,000.00 bottle of wine imported from the valley of the French Alp's, aged for over 100 years to absolute perfection"

Jay: "I really wish I've won this tournament"

(I went on to place 3rd, even though in real I would not be able to place even 3rd in any open of a caliber like that, I have ordered Renko's Deadly Tactics course 2: So my tactics will be perfect, and Improve you're positional chess, to go from slightly worse then mediocre to slightly better then mediocre in this department"

<Apr-27-05, Zhu Chen vs Kosteniuk, 2001 >:

she is not best yet, but she will be if she sharpen's her tactics. I have a tactical and attacking ability and style that is comparable to Alekhine, yet fall somewhere below Kosteniuk.

<Jun-06-05, NN vs Du Mont, 1802 >:

Also a fictional story I made up that is video game material:

Many chess players were traped in a time portal, for what purpose this serves they do not know, only a fine tactician as jaymthetactician can free them, he heads to New York, 1858 unknowingly in a time portal:

Jay: Where am I?

New Yorker: Why this is Manhattan!

Jay: Hmmm, Havent seen this part before say youre goofing me, I cant see a highrise! (I just realize it's 1858 by looking at a newspaper) Oh, I'm back in time! Say, do you know about Paul Morphy?

Why no ones seen him in ages! But there is a 10 year old boy by the name of Bobby Fischer who's skill at chess has already exceeded his! He trounced Paulsen 10-0 at the Franklin chess club!

Jay:were is he now?

Well, he went over to europe and is currently undefeated there, Anderssen fell, as did Staunton.

(meanwhile in the year 1930 at the AVRO tournament)

Morphy: This place is strange! Hmmm? The year 1930? Well, I must catch up on the current theory of this time period!

Meanwhile at Lineres 2000:

Philidor: What is this strange place? Look's to be so ahead of the times! And what is this screen with chesspieces on it? (Philidor loses to Shredder in 20 moves) WOW! How does such a thing aquire such knowledge! (Philidor constantly plays against computers to increase his skill at chess)

  TheAlchemist: Ok, back to the usual business...

<acirce, May-22-05, Vladimir Kramnik >:

Maybe he's contractually obliged to smoke Dannemann's cigars.

(on why the short draws with Leko and Kramnik's health "excuses")

  TheAlchemist: And this was the original trailer for <yoozum>'s now legendary "Survivor: Moscow" series.

<yoozum, May-25-05, Vladimir Kramnik >:

"When FOX approached the best chessplayers in the world about a reality tv show, they promptly refused.....they accepted several months later.

Now, prepare to witness the smartest men in the world away from the chessboard, in a totally different light.

[Cut to clip of Leko in his purple tux doing the robot in a nightclub]

Tempers will rise.

[Cut to clip of Nigel on Kasparov's back attempting to strangle him]

Egos will soar.

[Cut to clip of Kasparov flipping over a chessboard in disgust]

Sacrifices will be refuted.

[Cut to clip of Anand screaming while ripping his shirt off]

Romances will form.

[Cut to clip of Morozevich and Polgar awkwardly holding hands]

The alcohol will flow.

[Cut to clip of Shirov stumbling on a street while leaning on Leko for support]

Complete chaos will ensue.

[Cut to clip of Topalov saying "Everyone in this house is $@*&$*@ CRAZY!"]

Do you think you can handle it? "

  TheAlchemist: <tpstar> on the caption of Kasimdzhanov's old photo, where he used to have many black pieces in front of him on the 1st and 2nd rank:

<tpstar, May-18-05, Rustam Kasimdzhanov >:

1) The game was fixed; he was ordered to lose.

2) He is developing deep anti-computer strategy, because computers just don't understand these types of positions.

3) Black reveals slavish devotion to Steinitzian principles of first-rank overprotection.

4) His copy of "My System" was unfortunately mistranslated.

5) Kasimdzhanov is actually playing White and losing badly.

  tpstar: <TheAlchemist> Here's a fun lose/loose thread = Ilivitsky vs Spassky, 1955 albeit more clever than hilarious.

And if you like Queen = Lawrence Day

Good to have you around, big guy. ;>D

Jan-19-06  RonB52734: I heard the following two stories from a TD who does lots of scholastic tournaments:

1. TD: "Son, this game's a draw. There's nothing but two Kings on the board." Player: "Shhh, don't tell my opponent, I'm hoping he'll make a mistake."

2. TD: "Son, your opponent's correct, you cannot castle when your King is on e1 and your Rook is on e8." Player (confidently) "But I just Rooked a pawn on e8." TD: "So?" Player: "I've never moved that Rook; I've never moved my King, and there's no pieces between them and no checks. That's what you told us!"

  TheAlchemist: Ok, this is more of a comical situation than anything. It happened on <Jan-27-06 at Corus Wijk aan Zee (2006) >

Starring, <hitman 84> & <TheAlchemist>

First, I post a position in the game Anand-Tiviakov (21...?) Seconds after that, hitman84 posts the same position. Then, we both delete it.

<<hitman84>: TheAlchemist LOL!! where is the position>

So, I repost it, but so does hitman84.

<<TheAlchemist>: Ok, this is getting ridiculous.>

<<radu stancu>: <hitman84, TheAlchemist> This is hilarious! :))>

<<hitman84>: Alchemist

"Black to move"

"tiviakov 2 move"

i guess that is the only difference
LOL!!>

Finally, we make a wise decision:

<TheAlchemist: <hitman84> You leave it, I'll delete it, OK?>

<hitman84: <TheAlchemist>roger that!>

So, this is how the story ends.

  TheAlchemist: <misguidedaggression, Jan-26-06, User: hayton3 >: The requirements for the new USCF title: Minor American Master (MAM).

1.Must troll chessgames.com for 300 posts without your rating dropping below 2200.

2.Must pick up 3 MAM norms. A norm is achieved when: (a) Your pages get locked by the admin because they've finally had enough. Twice. (b) One of your games is deleted from the database because it was obviously fabricated. (c)You repeatedly ask for more slots on your ignore list.

3.300 GMs must E-mail the USCF asking them to ratify your MAM title application.

The Minor American Master title is ment to replace the OLM or Obscure LIFE Master title. The MAM's ego can never drop below a certain point (or was that elo?) no matter how many Tuesday problems he strugles with or how many obvious tactics he misses and later needs help from Fritz to find them.

Congratulations to cg.com's newest Minor American Master: AJ Goldsby!!! (maybe !!!!1!11!!!)

<TheAlchemist, Nov-16-05, Odd Lie >:

"Hello! I'm your LM Office Assistant AJ. Do you wish to...

a) have a normal conversation with me?

  TheAlchemist: And since we're on the subject, this is also a classic:

<hayton3, Oct-17-05, A J Goldsby >:

The Goldsby Doctrine:- I troll therefore I am.

The Goldsby Position - I lose therefore you cheated.

The Goldsby Argument:- I'm wrong so you're wrong too.

The Goldsby Attitude:- All opinions stink so I'll persist in wafting mine around.

The Goldsby Ethic:- I preach in parables so that one day I might actually take notice of their wisdom myself.

The Goldsby Solution:- With a bit of luck he’ll find and press the auto-destruct button.

  TheAlchemist: <LIFE Master AJ, Dec-07-05, Panno vs Aitken, 1958 >:

I got the solution pretty rapidly.

However, 39...Kg8? is a terrible mistake (blunder?), I calculated (without a computer) that Black had to return the Queen - and Fritz agrees with me.

  chancho: I'm starting to agree with <you vs yourself>, <jackmandoo> is one of the funniest kibitzers around. Take this dialogue between AJ and him.

<LIFE Master AJ:> <I read - somewhere - that one of the main goals of this website was for the experienced players to help those less informed or with perhaps less skill at the game.>

<jackmandoo: Well what about the more experienced players who dont need advice and want to get even better? Take myself for example, I am really good and running out of competition. How much would a personal Hydra cost? Keep in mind that I am very well off (I charge 100 an hour for chess lessons) >
