Apr-10-08  whatthefat: An effusive post from <Edward Labate> on the Bobby Fischer page, Apr-09-08:

<I have filed a complaint with the FBI for internet fraud against Ed Trice. Doing so falsely will land me in prison. It's time to end this once and for all, and this should do it ...

  chancho: From Fischer vs Geller, 1967

<cn1ght: You guys are are freaking unbelievable! 'Well since this guy beat that he's better'
'No, if you use that logic than so and so is better than so and so' 'Well of course so and so was better' 'But so and so was such and such and so and so was such and such'

REALLY guys it does NOT matter! You might as well argue what things would be like had the persians beaten the greeks or if helium had 4 electrons and everything else had 2 more electrons, or you could argue what if a tree falls in a forest and a squirrel poops which makes more noise to the elephant in the desert? If you're going to argue argue about something meaningful.>

  OhioChessFan: I have no shame. I liked this comment so much I hoped someone else may post it here, but it's clearly not going to happen.

From the FischerRandom consultation game, where Team Black just plastered Team White Team White vs Team Black, 2007 :

<I dont get it? why did white resign in the final position>

OhioChessFan: We weren't smart enough to resign 15 moves earlier.

  OhioChessFan: <Open Defence> on the <SeeSee> Chessforum after one of Hugin's endless claims the Timmerman game was a sure draw:

<<Hugin> one of your lines was busted to a win >

May-17-08  Tactics0: Here is a conversation which took place in the Kibitzer's Cafe recently:

<technical draw>:<Trigonometrist> Welcome to the club. Everyone here is jealous of me because I am TD, MD, PhD, licensed electrician, reseller of BoSox tickets and Phantom cab driver at the El-Al terminal at JFK. I'm also the richest member but all my money is tied up in bonds and I'm short of cash so you wouldn't have an extra $20 you're not using?......TD

<Jim Bartle>: People want to buy Red Sox tickets?

<technical draw>: <JB> That's why I'm short on cash right now.

<Phony Benoni>: <technical draw> Oh. I thought you said Botox tickets. I know the market is tight at the moment.

<technical draw>: <PB> I have some Ebola strains. You want any?

<WannaBe>: <technical draw> Any Anthrax available? Wait, there is a knock at my door, hey, it's the friendly local HSD, wondering why I want to purchase Anthrax on-line!!

Woooo, shiny hand-cuffs!

  TheAlchemist: <percyblakeney, May-22-08, percyblakeney chessforum >:

I doubt that my having a fever and being bored was enough of an excuse, but I tried accelerated versions of the WannaBe Gambit in a few 1 0 bullet games, the most extreme line being 1.e4 c6 2.Ke2 d5 3.Ke3 dxe4 4.Kxe4 Nf6+ 5. Ke5:


click for larger view

Even if engines do not understand the subtleties of the opening, an evaluation of –M1 is objectively bad. Luckily my opponent missed 5. … Qd6#. Engines may find some improvements also after the fifth move, for example does 11. … b5 look strong:

Me vs. Opponent

1. e4 c6 2. Ke2 d5 3. Ke3 dxe4 4. Kxe4 Nf6+ 5. Ke5 Nbd7+ 6. Kf4 Qc7+ 7. Ke3 Nd5+ 8. Ke2 Qe5+ 9. Kd3 Nc5+ 10. Kc4 e6 11. d4 Nb6+ 12. Kc3 Nca4+ 13. Kd2 Qxd4+ 14. Ke1 Qxd1+ 15. Kxd1 Bc5 16. Be3 Bxe3 17. fxe3 Nc5 18. Bd3 Nd5 19. Ke2 e5 20. Nd2 f5 21. c4 Ne7 22. b4 Nxd3 23. Kxd3 Be6 24. Kc3 e4 25. Nh3 h6 26. Nf4 Bd7 27. Rhd1 O-O-O 28. Nf1 g5 29. Nh3 Ng6 30. Ng3 Be6 31. Nh5 Rxd1 32. Rxd1 Rd8 33. Rxd8+ Kxd8 34. Ng7 Bd7 35. Nf2 Ke7 36. g3 Kf6 37. Nh5+ Ke5 38. h3 b6 39. g4 f4 40. Kd2 f3 41. Ng3 b5 42. cxb5 cxb5 43. Ngxe4 Bc6 44. Nc5 Ne7 45. Nfd3+ Kd5 46. e4+ Kd4 47. Nf2 Kc4 48. a3 Ng6 49. Nfd3 Kd4 50. Ne6+ Kc4 51. e5 Kb3 52. Nd4+ Kxa3 53. Nxc6 Nf4 54. Nxf4 gxf4 55. e6 1-0

The WannaBe Gambit was greeted with passionate exclamations, one opponent meant that when my life came to an end it would be a day of very strong feelings for him. Early attacks with the king to the fifth row didn’t always turn out to be a winning strategy, and a more cautious approach is probably to be recommended.

May-22-08  arsen387: A really hilarious post by slomarko
<slomarko: sometimes its comical when sb annotates his own game (a win of course) and then he keeps giving himself exlamation marks and by the end of the game he has like 10 or 15 of them or something and then you just wonder how the hell he won the game only 1:0 :P>
May-24-08  Karpova: Robert James Fischer

<acirce: <I always have an uneasy feeling about Topalov. He has great results, then mediocre results, and then great results, etc. I am suspicious of his success. Does anyone else feel the same way>

I used to, but during his match against Kramnik I became convinced that this was a guy who would never ever resort to unethical/illegal means to gain an advantage. Since then, the thought has never even struck me for a second.>

  TheAlchemist: Garry Kasparov - reactions to the "flying penis" incident:

<sallom89>: i named it, the penis-copter incident!

<Davolni>: I think it was Danailov who was operating the helicopter...

<Augalv>: Can anyone translate what Garry said after the flying penis prank?

<talisman>: for my next trick i will need a volunteer.

<Jim Bartle>: Oooooh, pick me! Pick me!

<tpstar>: Kasparov is becoming well acquainted with the tools of government.

"No no no, I said free eLections ..."

Now everyone's making fun of his piece.

"Package for Garry Kasparov - please sign."

His speech was a real boner anyway.

<talisman>: I said where's the Pianist? not P_ _ _ s.

May-29-08  TheBB: Posted on Adams vs Hydra Match (2005)

<Supergrandmaster:> Sneaky -- you are brilliant, and I wholeheartedly agree with you that The Matrix is a work of genius. Indeed, its very title exposes the mathematical nature of our existence, all of us being a random, but predictably existent, piece of data to be calculated in a universal human context by a matrix (if the reader knows anything of matrix algebra, it is a multidimensional probabilistic analysis of large amounts of data). And thus it is that we exist within the mathematical parameters of the matrix, as variable, yet predictable and normalizable functions of our own consciousness and learning as well as that of others. The chess game itself is such a vast microcosm of possibility, with only three outcomes, that it too places the minds of the two competitors on an archetypal plane of existence.

<csmath> LOL. As a mathematician I can tell you that if you would write this as a seminar paper for my course, you'd get an F quite fast. No sneaky genius would help you.

<acirce> What on earth is this supposed to mean?

<Wilhelm> Being a sneaky genius myself, I will try to help Supergrandmaster here and get a "A" at least for him, and modesty apart, illustrate his post with examples:

The meaning is very simple. Everyone on Planet Earth are functions, which are normalizable to conscious = 1 and learning = 1. Translated into simple terms, this means nobody know anything, and at the same time, everybody knows everything since all that matters is the norm of the function which is one, 1, in either case. This is the basis of Consumism, the doctrine that says that everybody must eat the same, wear the same, buy the same, live the same life so that the rich become richest and the poor poorest. This a very Far Right ideal close to that hold by Kasparov The Politician, for example (hence the connection with chess here).

Now we as functions are predictable, and those who are not predictable are simply functions of yet-to-be-discovered variables. When these become known, then they will also be predictable. The usual example is Fischer of course, who is a function of a large set of unknown variables, that's why he is very unpredictable.

The good news is that we(chessplayers) compound a Matrix which is presumably symmetric and with norm one of course. The determinant of this Matrix can be converted to zero using a set of vectors i,j,k, These vectors and the Matrix hold the Truth and in particular all the winning variations in Chess, making them very important in the long run, as every GM wants to become World Champion, but at the end only Hydra (and here the connection with this Page) is the perfect unpredictable and not normalizable chessplayer on Earth for ever and ever again.

The bad news is that this Matrix of all-chessplayers is multidimensional, that is, it like a probabilistic Tensor of rank n-th, if you know what I mean, ie it can't be solved in three dimension, therefore it has imaginary roots and these are as many as chessplayers in planet Earth, therefore the simultaneous existance of two, three World Champions and which lead us to the usual questions: Who are we, Where do we come from? Is there Life in other planets? Who will win Dortmund? Will Kasparov unretire? If Capablanca plays Fischer and Alekhine Kramnik who will win? etc etc

(I deserve a at least "B" for all this BS 8-))

<aw1988> In the year A.D. 1927, war was beginning.

Jun-03-08  arsen387: A funny conversation at Bosnia Sarajevo Tournament (2008)

< ikipemiko: Moro is outstanding player but he keeps beatin up weak players . Anand, Kramnik , Topa (carlsen, chucky and boro right after them) these are the top players in the moment.

Jun-09-08  Karpova: Exchange on Smyslov vs Kasparov, 1981 Jun-28 to Jun-30, 2005:

Heavy Metal Thunder: <Nice pre-arranged win by Weinstein.>

aw1988: <Pre-arranged, move by move.>

farrooj: <<heavy metal thunder, aw1988> no offense but how do you know that some games are pre-arranged?>

aw1988: <Fischer told us so.>

Heavy Metal Thunder: <farrooj, you some kind of Communist?>

farrooj: <Did I say something wrong? I'm sorry but I dont understand <you some kind of communist>>

Heavy Metal Thunder: <farrooj, I'll be monitoring your activity very closely from now on.>

farrooj: <oh cmon what did I say now??>

euripides: <<farrooj> HMT is posing as a Fischer-style paranoiac. Hence the suggestion that anyone who questions the allegations of prearrangement is a communist. Don't take it seriously.>

farrooj: <oh OK, I was stunned for a moment. Does he always do that?>

euripides: <I have no idea. Perhaps you should monitor him.>

farrooj: <why dont we all become paranoid and monitor somebody? I pick the fairy people living in beer>

Jun-18-08  TheBB: From the live broadcast of Carlsen - Karjakin, Aerosvit 08:

Ulhumbrus: <Hesam7: <Ulhumbrus: On 24 Rc3-d3 White has occupied the d file.> It looks nice to double the rooks on the only open file but it seems that there is no real advantage to that, I mean what can White do along the d-file?> One thing which White can do is to move a Rook to another square on the file. A less obvious thing whioh White can do is to combine such a move by the Rook with some other move, or else use such a move by the Rook as a first stage in a journey taken by the Rook.

Jun-29-08  Manic: A great quote of the day:

"Only sissies castle"

-Rob Sillars

Jun-29-08  zanshin: <Manic> One problem with that quote. He also supposedly said:

<Castle early and often. - Rob Sillars>

Ref: http://www.chessindex.com/chess-quo...

Jul-12-08  arsen387: from Botvinnik vs Geller, 1969

< Kulla Tierchen: Petrosian wasn't much of a player compared with most world champions.

M.D. Wilson: <Kulla Tierchen: Petrosian wasn't much of a player compared with most world champions.> It also appears that Kulla Tierchen wasn't much of a kibitzer compared with most kibitzers.>

Jul-19-08  Karpova: Two successive posts from Gaston Needleman (Aug-18-05)

PinkPanther: <I'm not pinkpanther on the ICC, you fool.>

PinkPanther: <And I didn't call anybody names.>
