Memorable CG Kibitzers' Quotes

Kibitzer's Corner

Dec-16-14  shivasuri4: <Chancho: Vishy receiving hearty congrats for his victory: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B41a0Lq...>

London Chess Classic (2014)

Dec-30-14  MarkFinan: <Abdel Irada: Here's my theory about why people use drugs: sex.>
Dec-31-14  Abdel Irada: <FSR: Comment to A Giri vs Carlsen, 2013:

<Kinghunt: This is a King's Indian Defence - black is always objectively lost until suddenly black wins.>>

Reminds me of a blitz game I once lost against Dan Burkhard, who used to play with a set having white and red pieces.

It was a tense and finely balanced see-saw struggle, ending in victory for the second player.

This prompted a spectator to remark, "First White was winning, then Black was winning, then White was winning, and then Red won!"

  OhioChessFan: A game where White beat a player named Kiss:

J Palkovi vs Kiss, 1988

<offramp: White kept it simple.>

Jan-01-15  Abdel Irada: Here's the fundamental problem with this page:

Memorable quotes are great until you put a lot of them in one place. Then they immediately cease to be memorable.

(Much the same applies to the collected words of wisdom of the world's great sages.)

Its sole saving grace is that it's sometimes funny.

Jan-01-15  Abdel Irada: Incidentally, I want to thank one of my cyberstalkers (whom it is unnecessary to name because he has already named himself).

If he hadn't attacked me here, I have no idea if I'd ever have discovered this page. ;-)

Jan-01-15  Abdel Irada: <Jim Bartle: <[HeMateMe]: Oh, Harry, the big 49er backer is now siding with their arch rival Seattle>

Harry plays LB for the Niners? Who knew?>

Jan-15-15  shivasuri4: <Domdaniel: <WannaBe> I know what you mean. Back in the early days of Spill Chucker, there was an Irish prime minister named Charles Haughey ... my comp told me his real name was 'Charlatan Haughty'. Then his successor was called John Bruton ... or 'Join Britain' according to the machine. I never got as far as looking for chessplayers.>

Jan-19-15  MarkFinan: <<Wesley So: Norlito aka Sugardom, you know less about chess than anyone here. It is "painful" to read your ignorant comments, made only because you feel brave hiding behind an alias.>>

GM So. #TookTheWordsOutOfMyMouthLOL 🙋

Jan-24-15  Gregor Samsa Mendel: Domdaniel: <spysfi> -- < Narcissistic Verbal Abuser: A person who is verbally abusive is often narcissistic, viewing himself as the handsomest and the smartest and viewing other people as mere extensions of himself, living in his world...>

First, viewing other people as 'mere extensions' is usually a symptom of solipsism, not narcissism.

Second, I don't know who the 'handsomest' is. I *do* think I'm the smartest ... but so do a lot of people, and almost all of us are wrong.

I'm so narcissistic, in fact, that I don't see the point in verbally abusing anyone.

Jan-28-15  shivasuri4: <nok: <Kinghunt, Topalov and Nakamura aim for high rating as early as possible this year> Especially Kinghunt.>

Tradewise Gibraltar (2015)

Note: The talk was about getting a slot in the Candidates through rating.

  moronovich: <Penguincw: 23.Bxf6. Smart move by Howell to get rid of the tricky knight pair so he can use his bishop pair.>
Feb-04-15  shivasuri4: <keypusher: <SirRuthless: <JohnBoy> He could use his winnings from the 2015 US Championship to pay Saric and Naiditsch to show him how it's done. They seem to have Carlsen under lock and key.> I'd love to sit in on those training sessions. "You wait for him to sacrifice a bishop, then respond strongly, but get into terrible time trouble and let him get away and wait for him to screw up again. Alternatively, keep an eye out for Bird's Defense.">

GRENKE Chess Classic (2015)

Note: The 'he' refers to Nakamura.

  TheAlchemist: A variant of the Not-So-Innocent Whistle trope, perhaps? Or Nice Job Fixing It, I don't know exactly how to name it.

<chessgames.com, chessgames.com chessforum (kibitz #21765) >:

<lainulo> There must be a small bug with the kibitzing brakes and I thank you for pointing it out.

Restricted kibitzing is intended to be cap activity at two posts a day but I see that you've already posted three times today. We'll look into this matter and thank you for your patience.

Feb-27-15  Colonel Mortimer: <technical draw:> <If we are still here January 1, 2016 than we can have a great laugh. Until then I will continue my study of Eschatology in 5 languages which I have been doing for 30 years. Shalom, see you in 2016, or maybe not.>

<technical draw: Lest anyone be mistaken I am not setting dates for apocalyptic events. That's not possible>

Sometimes the best jokes are unintentional..roll on funniest kibitzer 2016..or maybe not.

Apr-05-15  Jim Bartle: Here <conrad93> has been analyzing the endgame of Nakamura-So at the 2015 US Championship. <fgh> has pointed out that the moves he gives don't match his diagram.

<Conrad93: I based the diagrams on memory. Since ChessGames.com hasn't posted the game. I have no way to really determine what the positoon actually was.>

US Championships (2015) P. 21 April 5

  offramp: From Lunatic Fringe's page:

<blacksburg: <The acquisition of even a mildly reasonable judgment about a chessgame or position is an extraordinarily lengthy process of reasoning, searching, examining, comparing, rejecting, correcting, evaluating and criticising.> that's why 5 minute games are so great. you don't have to worry about any of that silly stuff :)>

Well, said, Blacksburg.

Apr-20-15  FairyPromotion: I just stumbled upon this, and it made me chuckle:

Miles vs Huebner, 1985

<Xeroxx: I want this game to be played at my funeral.>

(Sorry if it is a repost)

  OhioChessFan: From chessgames.com chessforum

<How do you people get your mind off from chess? Advice would be appreciated. Thanks.>

<Phony Benoni: I have found that playing a game of chess is a very effective method for getting me to think of anything else.>

  offramp: Here is another <Phony Benoni> quote:

The One Pawn Göring is a beast,
The Two Pawn Göring is a feast.
But even if your chess ain't boring
You cannot play a Three Pawn Göring.

That's from the Goering page.
