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 177 OF 754 ·  Later Kibitzing> Dec-14-06    themadhair: Best analyst:Tie between <Honza Cervenka> and <Thorsson>. Best historian: <Resignation Trap> Dec-14-06    Rocafella: (Best avatar btw): <Phony Benoni> Dec-14-06    brankat: Best Historian: <Calli>, Best Analyst: <tpstar> ( I wish I could vote for myself:-)) Btw, what happened to all the other categories? Dec-14-06    dakgootje: Think you can vote for those after everyone has voted for these 2. Dec-14-06    chessmoron: <Btw, what happened to all the other categories?> Probably 2 categories a day. Dec-14-06    WannaBe: <brankat> It's hard enough to keep track number of votes in 2 separate categories, I'm not going to keep track of 12 categories. So, I'm spreading it out over 6 days. Last year, <nikolaas> had us vote one category at a time. Dec-14-06    WannaBe: Oh.... let's see... <you vs yourself> voted twice, that's an invalid ballot. No idea who or what <chessmoron> is voting for, that's an invalid ballot. Wooooooo.... hanging chads on <NakoSonorense>'s ballot because of all the cactus pins. That's invalid. Guess I'll have to declare meself the winner. (In another 5 3/4 hours, when the voting closes for these 2 categories. :-) Dec-14-06    brankat: <WannaBe> <It's hard enough to keep track number of votes in 2 separate categories, I'm not going to keep track of 12 categories.> You mean You don't have a nice little DataBase set up for this? A simple Access DB, with a couple of tables(20 or so fields), 2 macros, 2-3 queries and 1 report would do the trick. You can do it 30 monutes, better yet the program can do it in 2 minutes :-) Or are You doing this in an old fashioned way, manually :-) Dec-14-06    WannaBe: Yeah, but it will take me days! to write the program and test it to make sure it's correct, and I made no logical errors. (Union job, you know...) Sometimes, the ol' paper/pen/abacus works just as well, if not faster. Dec-14-06    chessmoron: <No idea who or what <chessmoron> is voting for, that's an invalid ballot.> That's preposterous!!! I thought you were fluent in Chinese (simplified). DISGRACE! Dec-14-06    NakoSonorense: Invalid? WHAT? Why?! I second chessmoron! You're not fluent in Chinese simplified? How dare you! You're a disgrace for your people! Just look at me, I'm not Chinese and I can understand chessmoron perfectly! [I've been using too many exclamation marks!] Dec-14-06    twinlark: Best analyst: Thorsson and Honza Best historian: SBC Dec-14-06    boz: Best analyst: Mateo Best historian: acirce Best avatar: swapmeet Funniest kibitzer: *too many* - RichardTayor, wannabe, azaris, technical draw Most constructive: Honza, acirce, DomDaniel, Tamar Most helpful: wannabe Best Post: just before the final game, wc match, kramnik - leko 2004 <azaris: My great prediction for the match: Kramnik will play 1. g3 and Leko will respond with the Lasker Simul Special, 1...h5. After the rotten tomatoes have been cleaned off the stage play will continue. Kramnik will play 25 moves straight out of his opening preparation, realize he's hopelessly lost and then sack his queen to reach an endgame with two bishops of the same color and four isolated pawns against Leko's queen. Everybody will predict the result is a dead draw, but Kasparov will announce Kramnik has a forced win though mysteriously this fact only surfaces after the match has finished. Kramnik goes on to win in 150 moves and hold his title as the Classical World Chess Champion. Remember, you heard it here first!> Dec-14-06    RonB52734: My vote for best analyst: <Honza> My vote for best historian: Pliny the Elder. Dec-14-06    RonB52734: I'm going to reach into the ballot box and change my "historian" vote to <Resignation Trap>. Unfortunately, when I reach into the ballot box to retrieve my original ballot, I pull out <chessmoron>'s order of General Tso's chicken and hot-and-sour soup, and get so involved in a nice snack that I miss the voting deadline. Best Historian: <Resignation Trap> Dec-14-06    WannaBe: Ummmmmmm.... Chicken and Hot 'n sour soup.... You're making me hungry all over again.... Where's the fortune cookie? Dec-14-06    RonB52734: <Where's the fortune cookie?> Where's the rest of the categories? Hmmm?
