Jan-19-26 Chessgames - Sports    WannaBe: I made a math error in my last post, so I deleted it.      Jan-16-26 WannaBe chessforum   WannaBe: 12m in. Not impressed      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.      Jan-04-26 OhioChessFan chessforum   WannaBe: This is for you, with some deeper insight on drone productions, Russian, and now with the cut-off of oil from certain S. American country https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUB...      Jan-01-26 chessgames.com chessforum    WannaBe: That is weird, I posted the answer to <TGA> at 7PM Pacific/10 PM Eastern, and now it shows as I posted Jan 1 2026(???????)

< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 131 OF 750 ·  Later Kibitzing> Jul-01-06    FICSwoodpusher: I didn't expect France to beat Spain and I didn't expect them to beat Brazil after that either! At least I am in first position now, I know I won't be at the end. Jul-01-06    FICSwoodpusher: Portugal winning two knockout games was also very suprising. If Ballack is able to play in the next game, Germany have a decent chance of winning it all. Jul-02-06    brankat: Although this doesn't count: 1. Italy will beat Germany. 2. Portugal is going to take care of France. 3. The Finals: Italy will be the new Champion! Jul-02-06    brankat: <WannaBe> Is Shredder on strike? You are not paying him a Union wage ?:-) Jul-02-06    Open Defence: <Wannabe> is the 1.e4 e5 2.♘f3 ♘c6 3.d4 exd4 4.♘xd4 ♗c5 5.♗e3 ♕f6 6.c3 ♘h6!? line mentioned in your Scotch Book ? Jul-02-06    WannaBe: <Open Defence> I do not believe so. Jul-02-06    Open Defence: <Wannabe> have you seen this? http://chess.emrald.net/ I hope to improve my tactics there.. Jul-02-06    WannaBe: <Open Defence> I have heard of it, but have not yet visited it. Jul-02-06    Open Defence: I recommend it <Wannabe> a few sessions and already I see the difference.. Jul-02-06    brankat: <OD> Since when is it that a girl needs to improve her tactics? Ladies are being born as superb tacticians :-) Jul-03-06    Chess Classics: <WannaBe> Might I ask how you operate your engine? Is it you or Shredder (or both?) that decides when to move? Regards, CC Jul-03-06    WannaBe: <Chess Classics> Against <Dionyseus> & <RandomVisitor> I let it go for as long as needed to reach a sensible move. There has been once or twice where 2 moves gives identical evaluation points, and after 30 minutes, (when I run out of patience) I make a call. Against <brankat>, we agreed to only let Shredder go for 10 min. max, in the first 5 moves, I had to decide about two times. =) Jul-03-06    Open Defence: <being born as superb tacticians> emotional tacticians maybe... I am good at positional manouvering. ask <themadhair> Jul-03-06    WannaBe: I was going to post something smarta$$, then figured it would be inappropriate for this web-site. So I'll just let your imagination run wild on what I wanted to post. =) Jul-03-06    Open Defence: <So I'll just let your imagination run wild on what I wanted to post> I just realized what the twisted minds here might infer from my post below... geez it looks ghastly now!!!!! Jul-03-06    TrueBlue: hmm, positional manouvering, that's what they call it these days? It sounds so technical ... Jul-03-06    themadhair: Erm..... Well..... Erm..... Trying to decide which is more wrong. The above or the banjo rendition of the star trek theme currently on the radio.... Just to prove this forum could go to a lower tone.... Jul-03-06    brankat: Positional manouvering makes for such an exciting game :-) Jul-04-06    WannaBe: <themadhair> Yes, we, at this this forum boldly go where no one has gone before! Jul-04-06    themadhair: <Yes, we, at this this forum boldly go where no one has gone before!> Picturing you saying this wearing your infamous jester hat makes this comment 'passable' on some level. Not sure how or why though... Jul-04-06    Open Defence: <Wannabe> I was wondering if you would like to analyse one of my games with Shredder....... Jul-04-06    WannaBe: <Open Defence> Sure, just post me the pgn Jul-04-06    Open Defence: [Event "ICC Standard Chess"] [Site "ICC"] [Date "2006.07.04"] [Round "?"] [White "Thrajin"] [Black "Me"] [Result "1/2-1/2"] [PlyCount "98"] 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 a6 4.Ba4 Nf6 5.0-0 Be7 6.Bxc6 dxc6 7.Re1 Bg4 8.h3 Bh5 9.Nc3 0-0 10.d3 Bb4 11.Bd2 Re8 12.a3 Bf8 13.Ne2 c5 14.Ng3 Bg6 15.Rb1 b6 16.b4 Qd7 17.bxc5 Bxc5 18.Bb4 Bd6 19.Bxd6 Qxd6 20.a4 Qe7 21.d4 exd4 22.Qxd4 Rad8 23.Qc4 Rc8 24.e5 Nd7 25.Qxa6 Bxc2 26.Rbc1 Bg6 27.a5 Rcd8 28.Rxc7 Qb4 29.axb6 Qxb6 30.Qxb6 Nxb6 31.Nh4 Rd7 32.Rxd7 Nxd7 33.Nxg6 hxg6 34.f4 g5 35.fxg5 Rxe5 36.Rxe5 Nxe5 37.Ne4 Kh7 38.Kf2 Kg6 39.Ke3 f5 40.gxf6 gxf6 41.Kf4 Nd3+ 42.Kg3 f5 43.Nf2 Ne5 44.Kf4 Nf7 45.Nd3 Kf6 46.h4 Nh6 47.Ne5 Ng8 48.g4 fxg4 49.Nxg4+ Kg6 1/2 - 1/2 That's the game <Wannabe> btw 27..Rcd8 was a mouse slip... I was planning to move Rca8 and dragged the rook till a8 .. then I thought that since I have some time let me think some more and dragged the Rook to what I thought was its original square but instead I plopped it onto d8!! hehehehe Jul-04-06    WannaBe: <Open Defence> Will post the result in a while.
