Jan-20-26 WannaBe chessforum   WannaBe: Re: Star Trek Academy <WannaBe: 12m in. Not impressed> So, I did not finish episode one, it's still in my queue, but I did manage to read some of the reviews... And the reviews have not been kind. Some even compared episodes 1 and 2 (released the same day) to the very much ...      Jan-20-26 Chessgames - Sports    WannaBe: <perfidious> Probability and Statistics was a course required to obtain a degree in mathmatics and also computer science. Either one course or multiple courses. This led me into the fascination of how a non-predictable outcome can be quantified and an odd be established. ...      Jan-20-26 Hort vs de Firmian, 1986   WannaBe: <Breunor> Good question, I ran this game through the computer game analysis and: 31...Kg6 32.Bxa7 Bc4 33.Nd5 Nc6 34.Bc5 Ne5 35.Ke3 Bf1 36.Bd4 ⩱ +0.87 (41 ply) Possibly white was low on time and don't want to risk the chance to reaching move 40      Jan-19-26 R Toran vs M Valls Tona, 1948    WannaBe: Well, if you play f4, there is mate in 250...      Jan-16-26 Chessgames - Politics    WannaBe: Zed's dead. Zed's dead. (if one is to go down the 'Pulp Fiction' path) "That is A tasty burger!!"      Jan-14-26 Chessgames - Odd Lie    WannaBe: This one is from Henry Cho: "I'm changing the caller ID of my wife's phone number to Potential Spam" If you have not seen or heard of Henry, he is worth some of your time on YouTube.      Jan-14-26 Dickson    WannaBe: Apparently, it was a "far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to than I have ever known"      Jan-12-26 Fischer vs V Pupols, 1955    WannaBe: I was thinking baseball bat, tire iron, or brass knuckles.      Jan-11-26 Tata Steel Masters (2026)    WannaBe: So, the Tata Steel blitz were held in India, and players have 6 days to fly to NED for the next (or 2026 first) major event... What is the flight path? Here are some ideas: https://www.flightroutes.com/CCU-AMS      Jan-06-26 Atterdag chessforum    WannaBe: <OCF> Not to mention when TV stations switch red (dem) and blue (rep) to what we know today... On a similar note, in Asia, if the stock shows red, it mean up, green, means down. Go fig.

Jun-09-06    WannaBe: <LIFE Master AJ> What do you have in mind? Like after 24...Nf4 Shredder have it as -0.75?? That's the current position. Jun-09-06    WannaBe: Need some help http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/18086... click on the first trailer link (Baby Mumble, pop up) the music starts as a little tap dance number, but I'd like to know the artist/song title. I believe it was used in Drew Carey Show once as a dance number. Much thanks in advance. Jun-09-06    Dionyseus: <WannaBe> 25.f3 Jun-09-06    WannaBe: Currently, both 25...Nxd3 and 25...Qa5 are tied at -0.39, I'll let the program run a little bit longer. Jun-09-06    WannaBe: I do wonder, if people are following this game, and if so, what is your opinion on the position or the moves played so far. The other game, comp. vs. comp. is on <me to play> forum, and Shredder took/accepted a really strange line. Black has virtually no development and white firmly controls the H-file. Jun-09-06    babakova: Im looking at it from time to time and I can say I was kinda surprised by white capturing with the queen on b1 when rooks were exchanged, and also allowing Qxa4 and following up with Qb2 looked suspect... Bear in mind these are (very) moderately skilled human reflections. Jun-09-06    WannaBe: <Dionyseus> 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 a6 4. Ba4 Nf6 5. O-O Be7 6. d3 b5 7. Bb3 d6 8. a4 b4 9. Nbd2 Na5 10.

Nxe6 Nxe6 23.Qxe6+ Rf7 24.Qa2 Nf4 25. f3 g5 click for larger view 25...g5 has eval of -0.49. Other options, 25...Nxd3 or 25...Qa5, both eval as -0.39 or 25...g6 with -0.38. I, as human, think this software is nuts, perfectly free pawn, didn't take it. Jun-09-06    Dionyseus: <WannaBe> Rybka was not expecting g5. I will let it analyse while I sleep, I shall post my move at about 9am New York time. Jun-09-06    Jilted Rook: <I, as human, think this software is nuts, perfectly free pawn> Except that taking on d3 opens up the file on the backward pawn on d6 and allows white some much needed breathing room. Black's knight is comfortable where it is - dominating - it will move but only at the cost of a weakening pawn move on the White kingside. Black's structure and space advantage looks good here, while White's pawns look submissive. This could decide the game in Black's favour.
