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...

On a similar note, in Asia, if the stock shows red, it mean up, green, means down.

So, I'm using my wireless and picking up signal from my neighbor and pigg-backing... =( Jan-17-07    WannaBe: And the stupid signal keeps on dropping in/out/in/out... Jan-17-07    WannaBe: Taking my computer (laptop) to work tomorrow and plugging it into the land-line there, just to check that it's not my network adaptor, and to save my own sanity.

This time, I'll be white, same time control, 14 days/move.>> Regarding another game at GK, You with the White, sure, no probs. Just give me until next Monday, or so. Need some more time to get this Consultation game going (thanks to YU know who:-)), and to wrap up a few games I still have at Schemingmind. I'll let You know in a few days. Jan-17-07    WannaBe: <brankat> Okay, very cool. Please take your time. Looks like Verizon got their side straightened out, I can use my DSL again.

Well, I hope I get to talk to you guys some more. Could someone link the Nickel vs The World match? Thanks.

I thought, it would have been interesting, that you had K-side majority pawns 4 vs 3 and if an effort was made to attack that side, I'd have to make the decision on helping to defend the pawns, or make a break to queen side to aide the attempt to promote a pawn.

Last week's central states snow storm screwed up Yury's return from Kansas. He was suppose to be in O'Hare at 4 PM to teach for us at 7 PM. His last call to me Monday night was just after 10 PM and he was in Chicago finally. Anyway, we got together today and I asked him if he is going to play in the Chicago Open. His current plan is to compete. I mentioned your chessgames.com get together as promised. Yury said he'd be pleased to join the chessgames.com group for maybe half an hour between rounds!! We'll should probably set up set up something easy, fun and fast. Let me know your thoughts.
