| | FSR: From the Kenneth Rogoff page: <HeMateMe: <Check It Out:> I do get it. Guam is an American territory. I assume the majority voted for that. If your wife and/or her ancestors did not vote for that, I'm sorry. The majority rules.> |

| Oct-22-13 | | hedgeh0g: From the Magnus Carlsen page: <EeEk: There have been estimates in Norwegian media that he will make around €2,5M this year.
Winning a WC match and having 5 main sponsors certainly helps.> <HeMateMe: What does all of that translate to, in dollars or Euros?> <rogge: €2,5M equals roughly 2.5 million Euros.> |

| Oct-28-13 | | shivasuri4: Borislav Ivanov <offramp: <<- Deep Blue using human help against Kasparov>>Is this why Deep Blue kept going to the toilet?> That's part of a reply to <todicav23>'s post on <the saddest moments in the history of chess>. |

| Nov-11-13 | | hedgeh0g: <Abdel Irada> on Kenneth Rogoff <Personally, I always thought Justin Bieber was the most rebellious one after reading he urinated into a bucket, but now I'm not so sure.> That was a profound piece of historical commentary by Bieber, who was trying to illustrate for the audience the worth of the vice presidency according to John Nance Garner. |

| Nov-14-13 | | shivasuri4: <Ceri: <shach matov:> An e-mail from a friend of mine dated 16th October:
Met with Kasparov last week in Jerusalem.
A small quote: in chess the rules are fixed and the results unpredictable, in Russian politics the rules are unpredictable and the results are fixed. Cheers,
Ceri>

| Nov-15-13 | | shivasuri4: <SetNoEscapeOn: < He is an astounding player though, so if he gets an edge in the next two or three games he might be able to shift into unbeatable mode and take the match. However, doing so would play right into Carlsen's hands> It's fine to play right into Carlsen's hands, as long as he wins the match.> WCC kibitzing, page 222. |

| Nov-27-13 | | Absentee: From Viswanathan Anand, right after Magnus Carlsen won the match 3-0: <peddagunnu: Magnus did not show anything but draws on the board. But he did show that he was not easily beatable. Anand did not show clear wins either but did show more near winning ideas than Magnus. Anand lost becuase he played like someone rated 500 ELO points less than him at the death in each of his losing games. With more conditioning Anand would have held and stretched the match out and made it to the rapids. Anand knows that Magnus did not beat him but he beat himself. Magnus did not dominate with ideas. Just conditioning. Maybe Anand is capable of the level of conditioning to hold Magnus. Maybe he can see tactical possibilties like he was able to when he was younger to deliver the KOs. Hopefully this match has lit a fire in his belly and he gets motivated and does what it takes to qualify in the candidates and make a match of it the next time.> |

| Nov-30-13 | | MarkFinan: <<Deadlost: Mark Finan:
I hate to say this but your Beatles are overrated.
Our Kris Aquino has released her only album of songs and it sure beats Abbey Road, Revolver, Pepper or whatever.> >For once, I need not add to the genius of this guy's simpleness. 😃 |
|
| Nov-30-13 | | MarkFinan: <<MarkFinan: <<torrefan: 1.c4 should be renamed the Philippine Opening. For what has it got to do with the English? In the Philippines there's a rice variety called c4. And that's also the favorite explosives used by the local terrorists.>>
Torrefan, don't ever change haha you're nuts pal loool 😃😃>> Its brilliant! |

| Dec-04-13 | | Colonel Mortimer: <Ohio> <There are times I sit and wonder how people can be so divorced from reality.> <Ohio> <Men and dinosaurs coexisted.> |
|
| Dec-07-13 | | Jim Bartle: <shach matov>, Anand-Carlsen match page, December 7. I <think> this is meant as comedy. I think it shows a certain comedic genius: <You still missed the central point that the independent consequences of the dependent averages over the periods of the finite certainties are a priory dependent (even if independent eventually!), within the considerable apparent maximal and probabilistic averages! It's always the actual dependance that the necessity of certainty prescribes, provided the eventualities herein are only random. Eventual independence may not involve the subsequent dependance, regardless of the virtual platitudes of certainly.> |

Dec-08-13
 | | Diademas: From the London Chess Classic (2013) page; were someone was missing GM Keene. <Shams: <Where is GM Keene?> Hard at work, presumably. Those columns aren't going to plagiarize themselves.> |
|
| Dec-08-13 | | john barleycorn: a sure top 10 (maybe 4 exclams):
<<northernfox: Today's Headline: "Florida rescuers use noise to drive stranded whales out to sea." (Reuters)They would get much better results if they followed the British Navy practice of using recordings of Britney Spears.> <OhioChessFan: <They could have the Florida Fischer annotate a game over loudspeakers.>> Update: PETA nixed the idea. They decided it would be more humane to just let the whales die.> > |
|
| Dec-08-13 | | shivasuri4: <Jim Bartle: <There's always someone looking for an argument or trying to be controversial...> No, there isn't.>
Old quip, but remains good.
