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.

The Enigma of Howard Staunton

< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 18 OF 20 ·  Later Kibitzing> Jul-28-23    virginmind: Hi! Bogdan Daniel Deac page needs an update on his rating. Thanks. Jul-29-23    MissScarlett: That's above my pay level. Aug-14-23    SkySports: Morning Miss, could we dedicate a GOTD to the recently passed away Aleksander Matanovic? It would be a nice way to commemorate him... Aug-15-23    OhioChessFan: "The Mata of Zinn" A Matanovic vs L Zinn, 1962 Nov-19-23    harrylime: Paul Warne needs to eff off the tin pot baldy fraudster ... I've been banned off dcfc main forum !! Lol lol Scazz I bought a new chromebook but the audio and screen rezzie were pants ... so today I returned it ( Argos) ..got my dosh back ... and I'm back on my mobile. I'll sort it . Who was older ? Morphy or Steinitz ? Who would have won ? Morphy or Steinitz ?? This is up there with the great RJF v Karpov lost match in chess history . I cannot post music on my mobile . So a few posters are missing out I'm afraid . I needa good chromebook / laptop logging out . Nov-19-23    MissScarlett: What's the advantage of a Chromebook over a bog-standard laptop? Not much by the sounds of it! Dec-14-23    Teyss: K Revesz vs I Werle, 2001 (kibitz #3) I submitted last year but you probably thought they were crap. Yeah, yeah, do better. See numbers 18 to 27: Pun Submission Page Dec-14-23    MissScarlett: I'm saving those for a rainy day. Dec-29-23    MindsEyePress: Hello. I hope you are doing well. I am Joshua Anderson, President of the Chess Journalists of America (joshuamiltonanderson@gmail.com). I wanted to thank you for spreading the word about the Gaige archive. A New Zealand gentleman was doing some research and ran across a comment you made about it, which led to an email exchange with the two people involved in putting it together - Ansel and Edwards. We will do a brief article on the New Zealander, but I wanted to say a quick thanks and ask what you thought of the archive. Thanks. Jan-01-24    MissScarlett: Thank you. I haven't had much occasion to look into the archive as yet. My recent historical meanderings are focused on 19th century British chess. But my initial impression was that it looked pretty confusing in terms of simple browsing. Jan-03-24    offramp: The forum of Messiah seems to have disappeared. I was going to make very very very interesting comments at <Messiah>, but I think he has been airbrushed from Adobe. WHATEVER happens, I might use THIS forum, and Geoff Chandler's, for my slightly juvenile and jejune. Jan-04-24    stone free or die: I wonder what happened to <Missy>'s previous bio, aka dead before their time... ?? Did you move it into a collection or just delete it? Also, can't help but note this collection: Game Collection: MissScarlett's favorite games has exactly <0> games! Jan-04-24    MissScarlett: I’m boycotting it due to the misspelling of <favourite>. I have no knowledge as to the disappearance of the forum mentioned. Jan-04-24    stone free or die: In the famous words of Murray Gell-Mann, <The internet is watching> https://web.archive.org/web/2017070... A bit surprising there's so few snapshots. Perhaps <Wayback> is boycotting <Missy>?! Jan-05-24    MissScarlett: <Did you move it into a collection or just delete it?> I will make a collectiion......eventually. Feb-25-24    eternaloptimist: <MissScarlett> Hey MissScarlett! How’s it going? I want to say that I appreciate what u do on CG; u r doing a great job. U r 1 of the people who make CG a website that I enjoy. Also, thx for choosing some of the games that I submitted for game of the day! Feb-27-24    MissScarlett: No use buttering me up. I'm incorruptible. Feb-28-24    stone free or die: Don't you mean incorrigible?!? Feb-29-24    eternaloptimist: <MissScarlett> lol Mar-31-24    Teyss: Hi Missy, In case you haven't thought about a GOTD for April 1st, these might give you some ideas: Game Collection: Arranged draws Game Collection: Fake news I submitted puns for a few but surely you can #dobetter. Apr-14-24    offramp: For the last round game ( World Championship Candidates (2024) ) between Nakamura and Dommaraju Gukesh...if there is a result, "Gotterdommaraju". Apr-22-24    offramp: <IF> you like the joke on <Gotterdammerung>. from Wagner's Ring, i.e. <Gotterdommaraju>, could be used for the great game, Caruana vs Nepomniachtchi, 2024, even though he is not one of the players. I actually think it is a really good one for that moment. Apr-23-24    MissScarlett: Yes, I got the allusion to Wagner. But in the cold light of day, don't you think it's better to wait for a more apposite occasion - the world championship match, perhaps? Apr-24-24    fabelhaft: And, to raise the intellectual level of the allusions, it’s just to go for <Dumb and Dommaraju> for the worst game of the match. May-01-24    Tabanus: <MissS> Ferdinand August Rojahn (1900-1929), if I'm not completely wrong.
