   Jan-18-26 Chessgames - Sports

WannaBe: For what it's worth, both home teams (Saturday) covered the spread and the total went over. For the next 2 games: HOU 40.5 (Opened 41.5) NE -3.0 ML: -175/+145 LAR -3.5 (Opened -4.5) CHI 49.5 (Opened 51.5) ML: -198/+164

   Jan-16-26 WannaBe chessforum

   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...

Sep-01-06		brankat: They don't have computers in Baltimore, MD? :-)

Sep-01-06		chessmoron: <WannaBe> Need a favor. Tell <hitman84> to come to my forum tomorrow to finish up his predictions.

Sep-01-06		suenteus po 147: <WannaBe> I haven't gained much experience on FICS since joining, so I was wondering if you would be able to help me out connecting to the right player's game and checking channel 123 (?) for the tournament.

Sep-01-06		EmperorAtahualpa: Oh no! Is my angstgegner <hitman84> also participating in the tournament? OK, strike my name from the list please! :)

Sep-01-06		EmperorAtahualpa: OK, but seriously, how long do you think the tournament will last? There's a football game on TV at 2:30 PM (Eastern time) which I don't wanna miss...

Sep-02-06		WannaBe: <suenteus po 147> no problem, that's what I will be there for. <EmperorAtahualpa> Games will (hopefully) start Noon, 12:30, 1, 1:30, 2. You should be done before 2:30 PM Eastern time.

Sep-02-06		WannaBe: <Suenteus Po 147> To 'subscribe' to a channel, type: +channel <number> on the bottom of the BabasChess (Console).

Sep-02-06		chessmoron: <WannaBe> Did you get my above message through <hitman84>? If not, please do.

Sep-02-06		WannaBe: He did not show up for the tournament.

Sep-02-06		WannaBe: Final Tally: KingG 3/3 NakoSonorense 1.5/3 EmperorAtahualpa 1/3 Suenteus Po 147 0.5/3 Next tournament, first Saturday of October!

Sep-02-06		suenteus po 147: <WannaBe> Thanks for hosting the tournament. It was fun.

Sep-02-06		KingG: <WannaBe> Yes, thanks for organizing this.

Sep-02-06		NakoSonorense: I had fun. Thanks for organizing it, wannabe. I hope you get to participate in the next one, though... don't ask me why. :)

Sep-02-06		ganstaman: Ah, sorry for missing the tournament. I was on duty for my college campus's student run volunteer EMS squad. I was supposed to get off duty at the start of the tournament (which is why I earlier said I would be late), but ended up getting a call just before the end of my shift (people need to learn how to play basketball without getting hurt). And if there's anything that takes longer than assessing a patient and taking them to the hospital down the street, it's writing a piece of paper that says you did that. Hopefully next time. At least I got to play EmporerAtahualpa in one game before the tournament began.

Sep-02-06		WannaBe: You know you're bad (player) when people want you to play so they get at least a +1! =)

Sep-02-06		dr.roho: <wannabe> Do you think what I said in the chessgames challenge on the 100 page is true? Please read and tell me what you think ,because I have had a lot of negative feedback....

Sep-03-06		WannaBe: <dr.roho> I would not put too much thoughts into it. (Don't worry about it, or lose sleep over it.) People here are entitled to their opinion(s), you may have stated yours in a slightly strong fashion (by using caps) but I thought you were just stating your mind. Again, maybe/also people may not know your age, and take that into consideration. Don't get too wind up about it. Just enjoy the corrsp. game against GM Nickel.

Sep-03-06		dr.roho: <WannaBe> Thanks. Ummm...Who do you think will win this match? I mean to be honest, GM Nickel is better then all of us and for some of us much better. Theoriticaly(I have no clue if I spelled that right or not) I think we can't win. Mostly because of this democratic system. I dont want to be a downer but that is what I think. But your right I should enjoy this game and not take it seriously. Just wondering what your thoughts on it were. Have a good day....

Sep-03-06		WannaBe: <dr.roho> Theoretically, it will be a draw, and I think it will be a draw.

Sep-03-06		dr.roho: Change <i> to <e> and one <l> to two. Gotcha. Thanks for the insight. Ummm....Can we bet on this game(not you and me) but like on chessbuck system? Looks like Las Vegas didn't treat you very well.lol.....

Sep-03-06		WannaBe: Vegas treated me very well, as long as I have lots and lots of money to give them!! =)

Sep-03-06		dr.roho: <wannabe> What do things like <=)> mean and how did you get down to -79 chessbucks! If I were you, I would stop going to Las Vegas. Invest in something sensible. Like Enron.....
