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 177 OF 750 ·  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?
