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-12-06    Dionyseus: <WannaBe> Agreed. Good game, my opening was too passive, Shredder attacked the entire game and Rybka defended. If we play another, I'll use Rybka's book this time. Jun-12-06    WannaBe: <Dionyseus> Good game! The eval by shredder apparently had the current black's pawns position taken into account. But the -1.67 is actually quite misleading. Either king can leave their current position and the 2 kings will just shuffle back and forth. I'm up for another if you are. You want to let Shredder try white next time? And I'll just do the same thing, leave it on infinite analysis. =) [Event "?"] [Site "?"] [Date "2006.06.06"] [Round "?"] [White "Rybka"] [Black "Shredder 10"] [Result "1/2"] [ECO "C84"] [PlyCount "111"] 1. e4 e5 2.

When do you leave for Susan's simul? Jun-12-06    WannaBe: <Dionyseus> I'm leaving Thursday, returning Monday. If okay with you, I'd like to do this next week. Jun-12-06    Dionyseus: <WannaBe> Sounds good to me, good luck against Susan. Jun-12-06    WannaBe: <Dionyseus> Thank you very much for the well wish and thank you for this game. Expect me to post my move next Tuesday. =) Jun-12-06    LIFE Master AJ: <Wannabe> An entertaining game, I followed the whole thing closely. Shredder looked like it was on the verge of winning ... I doubt any human GM could have held White's position ... Rybka's defense looked bad, but actually was very solid. (A sort of "bend, but don't break" way of playing - if you will allow me this small analogy.) Congrats to BOTH parties, this game - a deserved draw - was probably conducted more carefully than most computer tests. Maybe you will do a whole series of them? (It would be interesting to ascertain the results, after say 50 games.) Jun-12-06    WannaBe: <LIFE Master AJ> 50 would be too much for me to handle. =) But we'll do one more with color reversed.
