Apr-20-26 Chessgames - Politics    WannaBe: <stone free or die> Truman, and not mention G. Ford that didn't even win a presidential election. Like K. Harris that didn't go through a nomination process. And was just thrown out there.      Apr-20-26 Chessgames - Sports    WannaBe: Speaking of ice soccer, this is my annual post on the Presidents' Trophy (which will be renamed Trump Trophy in 2027. 🤣) This is a trophy awarded the NHL team with the most points, or in a way, best record... The last time a 'best' team went on to win the Stanley Cup? ...      Apr-14-26 chessgames.com chessforum    WannaBe: <MissScarlett> How would we the members do that? Isn't that better done with internal email message/list? I volunteer, just let me know how.      Apr-14-26 World Championship Candidates (2026)    WannaBe: < perfidious: At least the username User: Bishoprick is displayed in full, unlike that of User: farticchio, whose content is automatically blocked from the kibitzing page cos of someone's fixation on the first four letters of the name. Perhaps the user should have been informed ...      Apr-11-26 Karpov vs J Bellon Lopez, 1973   WannaBe: Computer analysis on this game is now available.      Apr-11-26 Chessgames - Guys and Dolls    WannaBe: Anna Cramling Bellon, she covers chess on YT: https://www.youtube.com/@AnnaCramling      Apr-11-26 Anna Cramling Bellon   WannaBe: Cross posting (spam) from Lopez's page, same YT link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhX...      Apr-11-26 Juan Bellon Lopez   WannaBe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhX...      Apr-06-26 Fusilli chessforum    WannaBe: You too <Fusilli>      Apr-05-26 Chessgames - Odd Lie   WannaBe: Gotta double-triple check for typos in the future, what is "coving my neighbor's wife"??
