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(???????)

I do not anticipate any more moves from me today. =) Jan-08-07    Silverstrike: 6.Qd3 looks reasonable. ;) Jan-08-07    WannaBe: It's time for another <WannaBe>'s book review!! But first, here is a quiz... How do you connect Sir John Franklin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_F...) to Star-Spangled Banner (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United...) to the desk that is used by the U.S. presidents (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resolu...)? To find out, read "Resolute" by Martin Sandler http://www.amazon.com/Resolute-Nort... This book, gets two big thumbs up from me, one of the best historical arctic exploring book I've read. Oh yeah, Chucky Dickens, Chucky Darwin, U.S. Civil War, and Her Royal Majesty Queen makes Cameo appearance in the book. Very, very highly recommended! Jan-09-07    whiskeyrebel: WannaBe, funny you should mention the National open; I've just been trying to decide what to do about it. My wife's not going this time around..so I've been trying to figure out how to make the room affordable. Email me at: whskyreb@centurytel.net. Also, do you have a link still to the photo you took of me last year? I forget how it looked..I need a pic of me at the board for the back of a new edition of one of my books and it may work. Lemme know.. Jan-09-07    FICSwoodpusher: <WannaBe> have you discontinued the "first Saturday of the month" tournament on FICS? Jan-09-07    WannaBe: <whiskeyrebel> Cool, I'll send you an-email. Picture, it's on another computer, I'll send it as an attachment? Is that okay? But that will have to be much later in the day, as the other computer is at home. <FICSWoodpusher> Yes, I have discontinued it, so far you're the only one who has shown interest in resurrecting it. Jan-09-07    WannaBe: <Silverstrike> Need another day. Will not be making my move today. Jan-09-07    Silverstrike: No worries, whenever is good for you. Jan-09-07    whiskeyrebel: yeah, an attachment is fine.. Jan-09-07    chesstoplay: <WannaBe> I talked to Tim Just (author/editor USCF Rules of Chess, 5th edition) a few minutes ago and invited him to join me for a run down to the Chicago Open at the end of May. I told him about your chessgames.com get-together. We'd probably come down for just a day trip. Meet all the chessgames.com crew and take a look at what the chess store at the tournament looks like and head home that night. Jan-09-07    WannaBe: <Silverstrike> 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 f5 3. Nxe5 Nf6 4.

Jan-11-07    chesstoplay: Hi WannaBe, I don't know how I'll follow the game. I see Yury at least once or twice a week right now, so I guess that I can "look over his shoulder" as he plays. Several of my students are also now on chessgames.com, so they can also update me. Yury has been on chessgames.com via his laptaop as <chesstoplay> once with me... I think he placed my vote for 39. b5 for me. The point is, with his incredible memory, he knows my chesstoplay screen name and password. I cannot compromise the World Team's game in any way, so once I mentioned this to chessgames.com they agreed with me that I should stay out of the mix this game. I really care about chess first and my interest here second, so... I'll find a way to keep up and also out of the way! Jan-12-07    WannaBe: <Silverstrike> 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 f5 3. Nxe5 Nf6 4.
