If, as Charles Henry Stanley (kibitz #45) suggests, Stanley was planning to settle back in Britain after 1860, did that involve sending for his family when circumstances allowed? Was his return to America to 1862 connected with      Dec-23-25 Biographer Bistro    MissScarlett: <is there a source contemporary to Stanley that gives his year of arrival in the US as 1843?> Not that I know. Most likely a simple inference on Stanley being in England in 1842, and the US in 1844.      Dec-23-25 H Wanyama vs A E Gatjens Capche, 2022    MissScarlett: Today launches <cg>’s innovative 10 Days of Christmas. Your festive-themed puns are still solicited: Pun Submission Page Dreadful games welcomed.      Dec-21-25 Staunton vs H Hanbury-Tracy, 1845    MissScarlett: <The <Honourable> address indicates that he's the son of a baron.

The Enigma of Howard Staunton

< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 17 OF 20 ·  Later Kibitzing> Jan-07-23    MissScarlett: It’s been correct since Wednesday. Jan-07-23    LoveThatJoker: <MissScarlett> To be more specific, can you please copy and paste a corrected version of the game's PGN on petemcd85's forum, so he can re-upload the game correctly? Please and thank you! LTJ Jan-07-23    MissScarlett: The PGN is correct; no need for an upload. He just needs to delete the computer annotated score page and run the analysis again. Jan-07-23    LoveThatJoker: <MissScarlett> Thanks, I will relay that! Jan-07-23    MissScarlett: Are you certain that <43...f6> was actually played? Have you seen this game in any source apart from <The Art of the Half-Point>? When was the book published? Jan-07-23    LoveThatJoker: Apart from "The Art of the Half-Point", the book features as a saved (as in rescued from a lost position) in Van Perlo's Endgame Tactics. Here is the exact link for you (the game in question is in the lower half of the page): https://books.google.co.il/books?id... Lastly, the result in the ChessTempo PGN that we obtained the game from is 1/2-1/2. Based on all these factors it is abundantly clear that the game ends with 43...f6. Had it ended with 43...Rf6, it would have long since featured as an immortal win a la Ortueta vs Sanz - the other game I mentioned to you already. Lastly, note that if White was good enough to find all those astonishing moves to make the drawing position come to fruition, he would have most certainly capitalized on 43...Rf6?? and won the game! LTJ Jan-09-23    LoveThatJoker: Dear <MissScarlett>, Now that the computer annotated version of V Mamoshin vs V Kolker, 1972 has been corrected, my question for you is... When will <CG> make this magnificent contest Game of the Day? :) LTJ Jan-10-23    LoveThatJoker: Yay! :) Feb-09-23    MissScarlett: (33?) Nikolai Evgenevich Loran (1885-1918) Apr-24-23    Gottschalk: <MissScarlett> Do you call me? Can I Help? Apr-25-23    MissScarlett: Re. your pun for <G Moehring vs J Kaikamdzozov, 1978>, do you recall it? Apr-27-23    Gottschalk: Well, In reality, I didn't wrote a pun in Kibitzer's Corner. However, I included the game in one of my Collections Apr-27-23    Gottschalk: My purpose with the collection was to show relevant games of players wronged by this site. If my intentions seemed confused, I apologize. To clarify my words, made changes: Apr-27-23    Gottschalk: Today, I rewrote the title of my Game Collection and even added some explanatory text in the white space below the title. I hope that the amendments will be sufficient.. Apr-27-23    MissScarlett: <<G Moehring vs J Kaikamdzozov, 1978> Your pun is <Four Weddings and a Funeral>. Why did you not call it <Three Weddings and a Funeral>? May-12-23    FSR: <MissScarlett: Your Adorjan memorial puns are solicited.> Here ya go: G Giorgadze vs Adorjan, 1992. May-15-23    MissScarlett: Beggars can't be choosers. May-20-23    Gottschalk: <<G Moehring vs J Kaikamdzozov, 1978> Because I counted FOUR sacrifices 39Nf4 41Nh5 78Qf6ck. and the fourth and unsaw 86Qh3!! It was a quote to homege the movie- Four Weddings and a Funeral a successful film at the time of its release https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0109831/ It wouldn't be funny if I wrote Four Sacrifices and a Funeral May-20-23    Gottschalk: Dear <MissScarlett>, You didn't say what you think of my collection The Renegates by the Chessgames.com Game Collection: The Renegates by the Chessgames.com I hope you have approved the changes. And I counting on your sanction to ask justice to the chessplayers and their games that deserve to be Notable May-30-23    MissScarlett: Too abstruse for my taste. How many people will equate weddings/marriages with sacrifices? Number of Queens, perhaps, but, upon reflection, three in a game isn't rare enough to carry the pun. Now find a worthy game with four queens and we're talking. On the Notable Games front, I don't have any input upon their selection. It's above my pay grade. May-30-23    OhioChessFan: A small request, and I think you're best suited to address it. From the Game of the Day Index (Bogo-Deacon) Game Collection: Game of the Day Pun Index (Bogo - Deacon) >Cavalry Never Retreats> Tal vs Simagin, 1956 (Feb-13-17) That first spurious > is messing up the link to the game. May-31-23    MissScarlett: Well, the link to the game itself works fine. That collection, however, is <PB>'s over which I have no control. My copy had long since fixed the typo: Game Collection: Game of the Day Pun Index (Bogged - Deacon) Serendiptiously, I hadn't previously noticed the error in the following game in the list to which I will attend: <Caveat Emptor Taimanov vs Matulovic, 1970 *Hab017016(> May-31-23    OhioChessFan: Okay, thanks for the quick response. Jun-14-23    Stonehenge: One more for the collection: Capablanca vs Beun, 1911 Jun-17-23    MissScarlett: Ta very much! My Capa collections need some work. Too many projects..
