WannaBe has kibitzed 49749 times to chessgames   [more...]

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   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 143 OF 750 ·  Later Kibitzing> Sep-03-06    WannaBe: The =) or :-) means a smile. you have = as the eyes, and ) as the mouth. Or you have the : as the eyes, - is the nose, and ) is the mouth. Tilt your head to the left, and you can kinda see it. :-( of course is a sad/frawn face. I got -79 chessbucks because I borrowed some money from Chess Bookie and still didn't win! Sep-03-06    chessmoron: <Wannabe> Looks like this 13 year old <dr.roho> doesn't really AIM. Sep-03-06    dr.roho: <chessmoron> Your right. I use MSN. MSN is much cooler. Crap, Enron's stocks have gone down again, looks like I am going to lose a couple of chessbucks. Mayby I can borrow some from <wannabe>. Sep-03-06    chessmoron: <dr.roho: MSN is much cooler.> You did not just say that. AIM Triton is released, check it out. Sep-03-06    dr.roho: <chessmoron> Listen to this simple statement. I dont use dial up or their services.... Sep-04-06    brankat: <WannaBe> Congrats! Looks like it was an interesting tourney You had run. I thought You were going to play, too. Or, did the TD job leave You exausted?:-) Btw, will You be participating in <CC>'s coming corresp. tournament. It should be starting pretty soon. Sep-04-06    WannaBe: <brankat> I hoped more people would show up, we'll see what happens next month. It went well, since I had only 4 participants, we did a round robin. Some people had to play black twice, and some had white twice. But everyone understood that. I did not play, (Same thing when I do the local pool tournament.) But, I had the joy of observing the games, download the PGN and post them here between rounds. =) Sep-04-06    EmperorAtahualpa: <WannaBe> What's the result of your game analysis? Sep-04-06    WannaBe: [Event "OK, one more!"] [Site "http://gameknot.com/chess.pl?bd=565..."] [Date "2006.09.04"] [Round "-"] [White "emperoratahualpa"] [Black "wannabecg"] [Result "1/2-1/2"] [WhiteElo "1442"] [BlackElo "1240"] [TimeControl "1/604800"] [Mode "ICS"] [Termination "unterminated"] 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 d6 3.

Shredder says 15. cxd5 was better. 25...Qxb2?? 25...Qe1+ was much much better! 32. Rc8 would probably have forced a resignation. 35. Ng5?? 35. Qc6 was the better move. 35...Qf4+ was the better move. Completely did not see it. =( Sep-04-06    EmperorAtahualpa: <WannaBe> thanks for the analysis! <10...Bxf6, Shredder preferred 10...exf6 but that would double up the pawns, why does Shredder like that?> I guess because it opens up the e-file for the rook. And perhaps you could have created a dangerous stampede with your kingside pawn mass this way. Sep-05-06    brankat: <WannaBe> Good luck in <CC>'s tourney! Don't forget to slow it down a bit this time around :-) Sep-05-06    WannaBe: <brankat> Thank you, I'll (try) to not make the same mistake(s) I did in the last tournament. Sep-05-06    JoeWms: But you screw up readability for my kind of minority who have to use Largest, Larger, and Medium views to read posts. Please. Thanks, good friend. Sep-06-06    mahmoudkubba: <WannaBe>: To tell u something good I wonder what is ur nick name means. U C in Arabic it means <their is a disease in him> and in English it means <he wants to be> and in thinking that I might need u oneday I kept wondering what shall the people say if u (Let God Forbid) went to heavens as the normal thing to every human me or others or u? Do they then try to say <this rabbit was a good rabbit?> according to ur pic. near ur name on this site? HaHaHa For what u said in ur profile: I wonder if their r lots of similarities bet. me and many others and u, for the accidents u had during ur life career unless u r laughing of course HaHaHa. Sep-06-06    WannaBe: <mahmoudkubba> Thanks for dropping by and making a post. You usually tend to hang out at the Kibitz' Cafe. =) You asked about my name... when I first came to here, was to learn, then I wanted to ask a question. Since I wasn't any good, and can't pretend to be good. I chose the name: WannaBe. Because I wanna be good (some day, one day. never?!) chess player. If I had known what it meant in your language, I'd probably have changed my mind! But it's too late now. Guess I'm stuck with the name. And yes, I try to be as a good rabbit as I can. I do not know if you had a pleasure of watching Looney Tunes cartoons, most of the information in my bio makes references to the cartoons. =) Sep-08-06    WannaBe: Well, today, a year ago, I walked into my first chess club (http://www.chesspalace.com) and became an USCF member. Boy, my life's gone downhill ever since. Sep-08-06    hitman84: Why do you put the blame on a chess club <WannaBe> ? Not enough redheads in the club ? Sep-08-06    WannaBe: <hitman84> Not the club's fault. It's more like getting 'addicted' to chess. =) Last night, <DrDum> and I played/messed around for 4 hours, I have games going on at GameKnot.com and schemingmind.com (<Chess Classic>'s tournament) and dropping by FICS for some quickie games, etc... Reading chess books, thinking of my moves... AAAAHHHHHH!! How can I have spare time for redheads?!?!?! =) Sep-08-06    hitman84: ROFL <WannaBe>. You forgot kibitzing on CG in the list :) Speaking of redheads you need someone like her.. http://zebe.net/images/leeloo.jpg http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0377917/ one crazy movie..do you remember the blue alien chick with blue tails hanging out from her head singing in an opera. ROFL! Sep-08-06    hitman84: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0qy... ROFL!! Sep-08-06    brankat: <WannaBe> Congrats on Your first aniversary. You can expect the second year to be slightly worse ;-) Sep-09-06    BishopofBlunder: <WannaBe>, I've spent half of my life playing chess. The rest of it I've just wasted. Sep-10-06    dr.roho: <WannaBe> No rush but you do know that our game is still going on right? I just losed to Phony Bononi by the way. See you later... Sep-11-06    WannaBe: <dr.roho> Oh, yes. Once we're out of theory and middle game starts, I tend to play really slow. I still have over 40.5 days left on my clock!! (What's your rush anyway? =) Sep-11-06    dr.roho: <WannaBe>I just like my position so much that I wanted you to hurry up and make a move. I cant tell you how many times I analysed that position and yet you found the only move I didnt analyse(grr..). All your other moves would have lead to your defeat. But I guess Ill trade a pawn or two and a poorly defended king for a bishep any day... Oh and this is my 101th kibitz...
