Apr-07-26 Chessgames - Sports    WannaBe: In case I forgot, congrats to them Lady Bruins. =)) U. Mich (69-63) won, but the last spread I saw was -6.5, so if you took UConn w/ spread, you got very lucky, if you bet on them U. Mich, I feel bad; the O/U was 148.5      Apr-06-26 Fusilli chessforum    WannaBe: You too <Fusilli>      Apr-05-26 Chessgames - Odd Lie   WannaBe: Gotta double-triple check for typos in the future, what is "coving my neighbor's wife"?? Are we doves?      Apr-01-26 OhioChessFan chessforum   WannaBe: <OCF> I will now have be a wabbit and dig dipper into Camp Washington Chili. Never hoid of them, don't know if they are canned, fast food, grocery store, etc. Will keep you updated.      Mar-21-26 Chessgames - TV and Films    WannaBe: <CIO> LOL. I remember those mems... <chancho> North by Norwest, totally agree, the audiences know that the plane scene was filmed earlier and played on a screen behind. It was still drama. Same thing with the Mt. Rushmore chase scene.      Mar-18-26 Chessgames - Politics    WannaBe: <plang> Do you have a link to where you got that information/data from? I would love to read it for myself.      Mar-16-26 WannaBe chessforum    WannaBe: Future research project, how did Offenbach - Orpheus in the Underworld became "Can Can" and women kicking legs before the Radio City Hall Rocketts. An history that probably need some "Lookin Into"      Mar-13-26 chessgames.com chessforum    WannaBe: ¡Olé! ¡Olé! this is what I see for "¡Olé! ¡Olé!" (game of the day Mar-13-2026) I also know this issue have been around for a while, and it's not that important, in IT term, it is a level 'C', cosmetic fix. But I just wish to report it again. Can CG.com unify this ...      Mar-11-26 Sebastien Feller    WannaBe: <FSR> March 11 is his birthday, and usually PoD is chosen from the birth date of the player. So unless CG.com decides to change the algorithm on how PoD is decided. We will randomly get "undesired" player(s).      Mar-05-26 G Timoscenko vs Karpov, 1967   WannaBe: So, strictly out of "Morbid Curiosity", I requested an analysis of the position: 1) +12.62 (22 ply) 55...Ke6 56. Nc6 Bg2 57. Nxa7 Ba8 58. Nc6 Kd7 59. Ne5+ Ke6 60. Nxg6 Be4 61. b6 f4 62. Nxf4+ Kf5 63. g6 Kg4 64. b7 Kxg3 65. b8=Q Kf3 66. g7 Bh7 67. g8=Q Bxg8 68. Qxg8 Ke3 69. a7 Ke4 ...

< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 174 OF 754 ·  Later Kibitzing> Dec-09-06    Benzol: <cu8sfan> Like your idea for the new award and agree with the nomination in it. :) Dec-09-06    suenteus po 147: <cu8sfan> & <Benzol> Knowing you gentlemen as I do, I'm honored by the nomination. However, I'm not sure what is meant exactly by the category title :) Dec-10-06    AbhinavAsthana: According to me: Best Avatar and Analysis: <Honza Cervenka> Most Helpful Kibitzer: <Ahmadov> Dec-10-06    suenteus po 147: Ummmmmmm...why did you resign? Dec-10-06    WannaBe: <suenteus po 147> Did I goof again? (I've been known to really screw up my view of the board and lose track of the game... =( Dec-10-06    suenteus po 147: <WannaBe> I would say you did goof because there was no immediate reason to resign the game. After 16.gxf3 your position isn't great, but it's far from hopeless. My attack was geared to bust open your king's position since my king was stuck in the center; there was no mating attack forthcoming. Anyway, if you want a rematch I'm always willing. I feel like you got cheated out of this game. Dec-10-06    WannaBe: Yes, upon further review, I did lose track of the game. I took one look and saw I was down a piece. Didn't realize it was my move and I can retake. What a silly dumb @$$ I am. Dec-10-06    brankat: <WannaBe> <I took one look and saw I was down a piece.> Again, slow down! Try to make a habit of NOT just taking a look/glance. Sit down, light up a smoke, take a sip, relax, and say to Yourself: "OK, what do we have here? Let's see...". Then take Your time. And it doesn't matter whether it is a tourney or a "friendly" OTB game, a correspondence contest, or a post mortem analysis. You will learn more this way, progress faster and further, feel more and more confident. No need to hurry, You're only 35, and have at least another 50 ahead of you:-) Dec-10-06    brankat: Am I being too hard on You? :-) Dec-10-06    spock jenkins: hi! Most Constructive Kibitzer -- patzer2 Most Helpful Kibitzer -- patzer2 Dec-10-06    WannaBe: <brankat: Am I being too hard on You? :-)> No, I welcome all critiques on my chess game. Without the critiques from this community, I would still be stuck in rut. :-)) Dec-10-06    OhioChessFan: Best avatar <tamar> Dec-11-06    hitman84: And my nominations are... Funniest Kibitzer: notsodeepthought Best Written Post: Chopin (defending hayton3) Best Profile: Larsker Best Historian: percyblakeney(its his profession :) Most Constructive Kibitzer: Gypsy Best Avatar: Rocafella ( I feel he uploaded the avatar just to get nominated at the last moment - plain lazy ;) Best Game Collection: The one/two and only TheAlchemist Most Helpful Kibitzer : The THESAURUSAUR ;) - JoeWms Best Analysis (Non-Computer category): Mateo Best Pun for Game Of the Day : Aug-31 Ehlvest Has Left the Building Kasparov vs Ehlvest, 1978 Best Informed Kibitzer : Domdaniel Dec-11-06    TheAlchemist: I think most of the people I'd nominate have already been nominated, so I'd just add <HoopDreams> for best avatar. Maybe I'll add more later. Dec-11-06    Sneaky: I'd like to nominate these puns if they haven't been nominated already: "Wholly Knight" (the Christmas pun from last year) J Nogueiras vs M Gongora, 2001 -- OK, I know it's not from 2006, but it was not possible to vote on this during the last Caissars so I think that puns from December 2005 should be allowed. "Shipov Fools" (what's not to like?) S Shipov vs Miles, 1998 * * * Also, if <Honza Cervenka> has not been nominated for "Best non-computer analysis" then I'd like to put his name up there. Dec-11-06    Rocafella: <hitman84> Lol damn you figured me out! I just thought it summed me up perfectly :) Dec-11-06    OhioChessFan: Best user name <YouRang> Dec-11-06    Dozy: <NEW CATEGORY> <Most addictive forum>: JoeWms <Funniest Kibitzer>: JoeWms Howzat (as we cricketing nations like to say)? Two nominations for the same kibitzer, but both well deserved! Dec-11-06    DrDum: about <wannabe> resigning. as someone who has literally played him thousands of games I can say this. He has a terrible tendency to resign too early. ie in games that can at least be drawn or in which plenty of counterplay is available. Sometimes I think this springs from a lack of elan or 'fighting spirit' I hope this post comes across in the spirit of being helpful and not as a knock or a put down. It's not meant that way. If anybody has a cure for this give it to him. Dec-11-06    DrDum: How's this. Sometimes I think <wannabe> is too nice of a guy and doesn't go for the jugular enough. Just too much sugar and spice and everthing nice in him :=D Dec-11-06    RonB52734: Best pun: Mar-23 View from the Bacrot Judit Polgar vs Bacrot, 1999 Dec-11-06    Archives: <Just too much sugar and spice and everthing nice in him :=D> Sounds like my ex-girlfriend Bubbles. Dec-11-06    RonB52734: <Archives> OMG, you dated her, too? :} Dec-11-06    Archives: Yea, and I dated her sisters Buttercup and Blossom also. Playa! Dec-11-06    RonB52734: I trust you waited until (long) after they graduated from Pokey Oaks Kindergarten!
