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-16-26 Chessgames - Sports    WannaBe: Kershaw will pitch for Team USA in World Baseball Classic in March https://www.yahoo.com/sports/mlb/br...      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.

< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 165 OF 750 ·  Later Kibitzing> Nov-16-06    mack: Not to brag or anything, but I scored 25 on <Wannabe>'s test and 10/10 on Archives' nonsense. I accidentally hit a wrong answer on the first one, too. Nov-17-06    JYMMI: May I ask you waht's the main line of the WannaBe Gambit <(if it has one...)>? Nov-17-06    WannaBe: <JYMMI> I'm so glad you asked, I have a perfect record when using my opening! (00.00%) The main line is 1. e4 followed by 2. Ke2. The variations are 1. d4 followed by 2. Kd2, or 1. f4 followed by Kf2. Nov-17-06    JYMMI: 1.f4 2.Kf2 isn't good in all the cases, after f4 we have 1... e5 2.♔f2 ♗c5+what is very bad for white... Nov-17-06    WannaBe: I'm Off to watch my so-distant-cousin, Jimmy Bond! Nov-17-06    WannaBe: Jimbo did good. I'm glad we have the same first name. Can't wait for the next one. (If you are used to the 'old' Bond movies, you're in for a shock, no car chase, no fancy gadgets, plenty of stunts, GREAT stunts.) One of the better Bond movie I've seen, and yes, I've seen them all. Some more than others. =) Nov-19-06    Robin01: Looking forward to seeing it. I like the Bond movies. Nov-19-06    Open Defence: I don't know why there was such a hoohaa over a blonde bond.... even Roger Moore was a light haired bond....no one can match Sean Connery though....but I think Daniel Craig doesnt look half bad.. Nov-19-06    chessmoron: <OD> Well people are pretty upset that the producers sacked Pierce Brosnan so they criticize Criag from being the new JAMES BOND. I've seen the movie yesterday. Nice improvement toward some recent 21st Century Bond films. My only problem is just the length of the movie, a bit long. As a movie guru myself, I would recommend "Happy Feet" which has charm, cuteness, great songs, and of course the always funny, Robin Williams which he voices two characters. Nov-19-06    OhioChessFan: <wannabe> when <twinlark> leaves for parts unknown next week, could you take over a forum? That would entail copy/paste of posts on the main page on to this page, a summary of the move under discussion one hour before the move is due, and trying to severely curtail the normal posts on your forum. I am probably going to change from hosting a forum to being the coordinator and want a forum replacement lined up beforehand. No compulsion, let me know. Nov-19-06    WannaBe: <OhioChessFan> I can change my profile to suite the discussion. And I'll try to summarize the discussion an hour before it's due. Nov-19-06    you vs yourself: The colts finally lost. It was to the 3-4 defense. The same defense that was used by the chargers and steelers to beat them last year. Nov-20-06    WannaBe: Sum'thing smells here... =) http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/... Nov-20-06    RonB52734: It was April the forty-first Being a quadruple leap year I was driving in downtown Atlantis My barracuda was in the shop So I was in a rented stingray And it was overheating So I pulled into a Shell Station They said I'd blown a seal Nov-20-06    WannaBe: <RonB52734> Leave my personal life out of it. Nov-20-06    RonB52734: Ah, you DO remember! LOL. You and I have got to get together one of these years; too bad there's an entire continent between us. Nov-20-06    WannaBe: <RonB52734> Of course I do, I have 6 Dr. Demento's CDs... That's one of my favourite song on there, amongst many others. The funny thing is, if no one read the post(s) on The World vs Nickels page, and read the above posts, they'd be sooooooo lost. =) Nov-20-06    tpstar: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MR71... I never knew what the phrase "drank like a fish" meant until this song. ;>D Nov-20-06    WannaBe: Great find! Much enjoyed it, thank you <tpstar>! Nov-21-06    brankat: <WannaBe> <<Brankat> <I see that you're on (assigned to) Team Black.>> Yes, it is interesting to see that most of the "original" Cons. game players will be playing in this new one, too. Most of Your former opponents are now Your teammates. Traitors :-) <EA>, <Chopin>, <AdrianP>. Only <Robin01> remained faithful, hehehe. By the same token, <RonB> and I are now on the same team. I still like the small format better, 3-5 players, where there is possible to have a real consultation, and develop friendly relationships, the way it worked in the first game, and in the one that was just completed. I can only hope, the coming game will not turn out like the GMAN game. To this, the outcome is secondary. Nov-21-06    NakoSonorense: That's something I'd forgotten about... Brankat was with the knightmares???! I totally forgot about it :S Hey wannabe, a question for you. Are you also having problems trying to connect to FICS? For some reason, I can't log in. It says, "Timeseal: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it." Since you're the BabasChess expert here, can you tell me how to fix it? Thanks. Nov-21-06    WannaBe: <NakoSonorense> I do not have BabasChess installed on this PC, (Nor do I want to... if you get my drift) I have heard that FICS is doing some upgrade, I believe someone left a post with a link in the Cafe. I will try to examine this later when I am *ahem* elsewhere. =) Nov-21-06    NakoSonorense: You're a genius! What did you do? It's fixed now. xD Nov-21-06    OhioChessFan: <Wannabe> so far no changes in the forum hosting/coordinating roles. If I understand you, this week you won't be available from Wednesday to Saturday? Nov-21-06    WannaBe: <OhioChessFan> Forum is available, just I won't be able to change my profile to suite the position/FEN requirement until later in the day. If you need to use it, you (guys) of course, have my advanced permission. Perhaps you can post the FEN of the position that's under discussion, and when I get back from tournament, I'll update my profile to match it? How's that sound?
