Sally Simpson Member since Jan-28-14 "There are two kinds of kibitzers, those that know nothing and those that don't know they know nothing." I'm Geoff Chandler 'Sally Simpson' is the title of my favourite Who song. The Green Pawn? It has nothing to do with chess.com I'm greenpawn over at Red Hot Pawn and when I wrote for the Hibs fanzine in the 70's i went under the name of Green Pawn. Me and Karpov went to different schools together. If you fancy something different then try this; https://www.redhotpawn.com/chess-bl...

Sally Simpson has kibitzed 13153 times to chessgames   [more...]

Jun-12-25 Unzicker vs Karpov, 1972   Sally Simpson: Correct John. [DIAGRAM] 14.Ng3 has been played over 1,500 times on here. 14.g3 once. This game I checked various D.B's all have 14.Ng3. Someone somewhere has dropped the 'N' from move 14 and sold it to chessgames as an unknow Karpov game.      Jun-12-25 Biographer Bistro    Sally Simpson: John Ryden Thank You. Regarding old chess programs, I actually did type in the chess listing for this book. https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/pub... I still have the book somewhere. (and most likely have what I entered on an old cassette - I never throw anything out.) Just found      Jun-12-25 J Radulski vs E Matsuura, 2002    Sally Simpson: <Perfidiouds> No, that will not do. You have to play 4...Nxe4 in this position in a rated OTB game. [DIAGRAM] The Walpurgis Gambit. I do not have a Carlos Fandango Super-Duper computer so can someone with Stockfish Mk99 (or whatever the Mk is these days) see how it ...      Jun-12-25 J Mestel vs S Novak, 2025   Sally Simpson: <Hi Perfidious> I mentioned this because there is a 'space' in Sally Simpson and the 'space' apparently causes problems and I, along with others, sit in a names with 'spaces' queue. In these instances the games were posted within minutes of submitting them. Often when ...      Jun-12-25 B Vainshtein vs Bronstein, 1938   Sally Simpson: Given as B. S. Queenabber v Bronstein, Friendly Game, Kiev 1938. in '200 Open Games.' It is game 200. Bronstien's reason for it's inclusion is because when he submitted the manuscript it only had 199 games, the editor wanted one more, preferably a loss and an Alapin Opening. ...      Jun-11-25 E Schiller vs A Saidy, 1996   Sally Simpson: <Hi David> Apparently... "Most scholars believe the word was invented by workers at the Bell Telephone Laboratories by 1968, who needed a word for the symbol on the telephone keypad. Don MacPherson is said to have created the word by combining octo and the last name ...      Jun-11-25 S Mlotkowski vs S Sharp, 1903   Sally Simpson: 20 Qa4 will be 20 Qh4 [DIAGRAM] Then following the moves of the game we get to here with White to play. [DIAGRAM] And it is mate in two (correction slip sent.)      Jun-08-25 G Nagy vs A Gupta, 2017    Sally Simpson: Seven Queen moves on the bounce, nicking the b7 pawn with the Queen (I'll repeat that; 'nicking the b7 pawn with the Queen') and then playing 11.Qd1. It is all known theory with quite a few games. Games Like G Nagy vs A Gupta, 2017 They would never have gotten away with that ...      Jun-08-25 I Snape vs P Lalic, 2025   Sally Simpson: <Hi Peter> Always good to chat with a player regarding a game on here, it fills in a lot of the blanks all one can see from a bare score. So it appears Ian was playing against your time trouble rather than playing the board. So says smart alec me who is also guilty of ...      Jun-07-25 Norway Chess (2025)    Sally Simpson: <Check it Out> Without them I'd be out of a blog job. I'd have to resort to showing endings and the dark art of distant opposition. I like blundering, it's addictive and I'm pretty sure I would soon get bored winning every game. That would be awful.
