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 Chessgames - Politics    WannaBe: So, again, the worker expressed and exercised the 1st amendment right(s), whether suspension is warrented or not is up to company/union policy. Not the administration, because this will be 0-9 in the Supreme Court. Another individual (who happens to be the president) also exercised ...      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-14-26 Chessgames - Sports    WannaBe: Well, the Wizard of Oz is playing at Las Vegas Sphere...      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 WannaBe chessforum   WannaBe: And let's not even get into trombone with triggers...      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. American country https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUB...      Jan-01-26 chessgames.com chessforum    WannaBe: That is weird, I posted the answer to <TGA> at 7PM Pacific/10 PM Eastern, and now it shows as I posted Jan 1 2026(???????)

< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 189 OF 750 ·  Later Kibitzing> Jan-05-07    WannaBe: Just for fun, here what I did. Took the current World vs. Nickel position, and let Shredder ran with it on Infinite Analysis (5 minutes minumum, 10 minutes max) With a hyper-threading and 1G of RAM, I think that's plenty long enough. Take the best line (line number 1), and take the 4-ply move, enter that into the PGN. Reload the PGN into Shredder's engine, repeat procedure... The game is drawn.

Why not 43...Rb8 instead of 44...b4 which just loses a tempo as you can see. 43...Rb8 44.Rxb5 and now - if 44...h4 45.Kg1-f2-f3 or even g3 and after 44...Kf6 45.Kg3 The point is that the white king gets out as early as possible so that the black king can't intrude Jan-05-07    themadhair: Not sure 45.Rb6 is optimal but it should be good enough to win. After 45...Kh6 then 46.h4! is the way to go forcing black to waste king moves and allow white to penetrate viz 46. h4 Kg7 47. Kg3 Kf7 48. Kf4 Ke6 49. g4 hxg4 <49... Kd7 50. gxh5 gxh5 51.

Click on the fractal to find out more about the position after 44.Rb8 Jan-05-07    Karpova: Oh, and have a look at section G User: RandomVisitor <spudhead> showed that white can simply transpose back into the <main> ending if GMAN tries to distract us with 43...b4 so there's no special analysis needed. Jan-05-07    chesstoplay: Yes, Cary, IL... northwest of Chicago. Our scholastic team is based here. The Cary Kings Competitive Chess Club, a USCF affiliate.

Jan-08-07    WannaBe: <southpawjinx> & <whiskeyrebel> I have signed up for National Open, not yet decided if I want to play Susan again in the Simul. So, I will definitely be in Las Vegas, in June. <whiskeyrebel> Are you participating again? I am currently seeking roommate to split a room and cut down on some costs. The super-cheap entry fee ends Jan. 15th, http://www.lvchessfestival.com Jan-08-07    myschkin: For a proper preparation have a look at your posted game ^^ Hope it helps. Jan-08-07    Silverstrike: Hey Wannabe, we played a correspondence a while back, would you be interested in playing another? Im sorry to say that it would have to be on your forum as I'm not a premium member. If you don't want to, that's utterly fine. :) Jan-08-07    WannaBe: <Silverstrike> I am always up for a corresp. game. But instead of here, do you have account(s) on www.GameKnot.com (WannaBeCG) or www.schemingmind.com (WannaBe)or www.queenalice.com (WannaBe)? I think it's better that we do it there. But if you don't have account(s) or do not wish to open account(s); all three mentioned sites are free, then here is fine, I'll take the black pieces. =) Jan-08-07    Silverstrike: Playing here seems to be the best option. Are you sure about black? You had it the last time you played. Jan-08-07    WannaBe: <Silverstrike> Oh, very well then, I shall play with white. =) 1. e4 Jan-08-07    Silverstrike: 1...e5 Jan-08-07    WannaBe: <Silverstrike> 2.
