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 ...

Dec-27-06    WannaBe: <technical draw: ... are you rich?> No, just saved up lots of money for my 'hobby'. Traveling and playing chess. =) Gonna be at the Gilbratar tournament in 2008, wanna go/join?? Dec-27-06    technical draw: <Gonna be at the Gilbratar tournament in 2008, wanna go/join?> Sure! Umm, you're paying, right? Dec-27-06    Chess Classics: <WannaBe> About 9 months ago I was washing cars and robbing banks in a vain effort to save up for the Chicago Open. Now that I get a steady paycheck, things might be different. We shall see. Regards, CC Dec-27-06    chesstoplay: Hi WannaBe. My parents are divorced and both remarried. One set of parents lives in Rapid City. I've never lived there, but have visited enough times now that I wish we lived there! I envy your 4 years of living there. Dec-27-06    WannaBe: <chesstoplay> Don't envy me, I hated the cold weather. =) Dec-27-06    chesstoplay: You are right. I've only been there in the summers!! I didn't really consider the winters near the Rocky Mountains... ... I may have to rethink that envy.

Kf2 h5 36. h4 Kh6 37. Kg3 f6 38. Kf4 Kg7 Draw Agreed <GG Sir> I like playing the Samisch against the KID. I read in a book that a good way to play it if Black challenges the centre with ...c5 is to play d5 and try to handle it like a modern benoni. Dec-27-06    Archives: Although it is not a popular way of playing it according to opening explorer. Dec-27-06    WannaBe: <Archives> Good game too. I hate it when white plays 1. d4 :-) Dec-27-06    WannaBe: <Archives> I've challenged you to another game, this time, I get white! Dec-27-06    Archives: Cool =) GL! Dec-28-06    WannaBe: Okay, I just ran the game between <Archives> and I through the software, and here is what it says... 14...Rb8 <Last book move> 17. Bb5 (-0.87 17. Be2 bxa5 18. h3 Bc8 19. f4 Ned7 20. e5 dxe5 21. fxe5 Nxe5 22, Bxc5 Rb8 23. Bb5 Ne4 24. Nxe4 0.44) 17...Rxa5 (-0.07 17...Bxb5 18. Nxb5 Nc4 19. Qd3 Nxe3 20. Qxe3 bxa5 21. Qd2 Qb6 2. Nc3 c4+ 23.

Qc8 (-1.98 24...Nd7 25. Qc6 Qb6+ 26. Rs2 Rb8 -3.53) I had a winning game here!! 27...Nxe4 (-0.02 27...Ne8 28. Rc2 -2.59) What was I thinking?! 28. fxe4 (-0.97 28. c7 a3 29. bxa3 Nc3 30. Nxc3 Rxc3 31.

Kf2 Ke7 32. c7 f5 -1.35) From 30... on, there were no moves that was considered to be a blunder by the computer. Overall, that's a pretty decent game for me, considering that I'm only 2800+ player. (According to <Archives>) but for someone who is eleventy-billion, this must be a major disappointment. =) Dec-28-06    Archives: Thanks for that <Wannabe>! <24... Qc8 (-1.98 24...Nd7 25. Qc6 Qb6+ 26. Rs2 Rb8 -3.53) I had a winning game here!!> Haha, I actually thought 24...Nd7 would be the best move for Black, though I thought it would lead to a roughly equal position after some fudged up line I came up with. <but for someone who is eleventy-billion, this must be a major disappointment.> I'm actually quite proud, because for the entire game I thought we were playing Go-Fish! Dec-28-06    WannaBe: <Archives> Just beware of my <WannaBe> Gambit in our second game. :-)) Dec-29-06    azaris: <WannaBe> So would you be up for a kibitzers mini-tournament at Gameknot, starting maybe next month? Dec-29-06    WannaBe: <azaris> Sir! Yes, Sir! =) Now, watch me as I get my behind kicked. Dec-29-06    azaris: <Now, watch me as I get my behind kicked.> I was thinking more about playing chess, but we can make it freestyle wrestling just the same. Dec-29-06    twinlark: Hi <WannaBe>, I had to repost on magilla's forum as I stuffed up the hyperlinks. Just to let ya know in case the posting sequence matters. Delete this message before ya read it. Or is that during? Dec-29-06    WannaBe: <twinlark> Of course posting sequence(s) matter!! I hate it when my check gets posted to the bank before my pay check does. Dec-30-06    Archives: Man I suck at chess. Picked up a nice advantage on the second move of my game against Wannabe (he tried the infamous Wannabe Gambit). But I've already squandered the advantage away within the first dozen moves =( Dec-30-06    WannaBe: Been a while, so you know what it means... Time for another <WannaBe>'s Book Review! 'Sea of Thunder' by Evan Thomas non-fiction. One of the best naval history/battle of the Second World War I've ever read. http://www.amazon.com/Sea-Thunder-C... In a nut-shell, it covers the 4 'main' participants in the battle of Leyte Gulf, two American, and two Japanese commander/admirals points of view are presented, plus their personal history background. Culminating at the battle of Leyte Gulf, off the Phillipines. Definitely recommended for anyone who's interested in naval war/history and just the whole World War II as a whole. Dec-31-06    brankat: <WannaBe> May You have a very happy and prosperous New Year. Wish You all the best in 2007, my friend! Dec-31-06    Archives: Hey Doc, have a safe and good New Years!
