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 193 OF 750 ·  Later Kibitzing> Jan-24-07    WannaBe: Position after ...Rg6 click for larger view Jan-24-07    RonB52734: <WannaBe> I'm still angling toward going to the Chicago Open, although there are a lot of things that have to fall into place for that to happen. I've also been floating the idea to some of my "betters" here locally. Jan-25-07    WannaBe: <RonB52734> If you can, you can, (That'd be great also.) But I realize we all have other responsibilities and items/things that needs to be addressed first. If not this year, there'll be future possibilities. Jan-25-07    WannaBe: <Silverstrike> 16. Rf4 click for larger view Personally, I hated this position, I looked, and looked, and then looked some more, and I just can't figure out which way to move. :-( Jan-25-07    Silverstrike: Hey! You stole my queen when I wasn't looking! Jan-25-07    WannaBe: <Silverstrike> Errr... it 'accidentally' fell on the floor. I'll put it back on the board. Sorry about that. click for larger view Okay, I 'see' what happened, I meant to type 'q', but instead, struck '1' key instead. Much apologies, wasn't trying to pull a 1uick one on you. Jan-25-07    YouRang: (Good try WannaBe :-) Jan-25-07    Silverstrike: <WannaBe> <YouRang> LOL! Don't worry. :) 16...Rgxh6 Jan-25-07    WannaBe: <Silverstrike> 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 f5 3. Nxe5 Nf6 4.

Rf5 Rgxh6 17. h3 click for larger view Jan-25-07    Silverstrike: 17...Bxh3 Jan-26-07    WannaBe: Looks like my company doesn't want me in this office (And I even promised them I'd shower before coming to work!) They are sending me up north again. Going to be at San Francisco area office for a few days next week, starting Monday... Jan-27-07    whiskeyrebel: WannaBe, you're a computer geek aren't you? I'm an ignoramous when it comes to technical stuff. I need to get a laptop and a Fritz ( or maybe another brand ) that are compatible and not that incredibly expensive. Do you have any shopping tips? I probably won't use the laptop for much more than the Fritz and maybe a file for my writing and basic email crud. What set up do you have? Jan-27-07    WannaBe: <whiskeyrebel> I'll shoot you an e-mail. Jan-27-07    WannaBe: <Silverstrike> I'm going to resign from our game. My position looks horrible, without any pawn support in from of my King, and you have a great attack coming down the H. Jan-28-07    blingice: Hey <WannaBe>, how's life? Jan-28-07    WannaBe: <blingice> Fine, just picking up some equipments, and leaving the office to go to San Francisco. =) Jan-28-07    Silverstrike: <WannaBe> Fair enough, though I'm suprised, I respect that. If you're ever up for a rematch, let me know, but there is absolutely no rush. Thanks alot for the game. :) An interesting point was that I meant to play 9...Qxd7, but I typed in 9...Nxd7 by accident. Thanks again. :) Jan-28-07    WannaBe: <Silverstrike> No problemo, I'm now +0 -3 =0 against you. =( Jan-28-07    WannaBe: Have made it, saw 3 cars that got pulled over by the Highway Patrol, and one 2-car accident near Cupertino (home of Google). Typical California driving/trip. Jan-28-07    NakoSonorense: Glad you had fun! At least you weren't stuck in trafic for 2 hours like it's common in the 405 fw. Jan-29-07    Dr.Lecter: <wannabe> when was this accident? I live by Cupertino, and I saw no such thing. Maybe that's because I was in the accident, but who knows? Jan-29-07    WannaBe: <Dr.Lecter> It was around 3 PM, I was North Bound, 101, it was already off to the shoulder, and paramedics were strapping people to the gourneys. Jan-29-07    Silverstrike: <WannaBe> I thought that we had only played twice. Jan-29-07    Zebra: <silverstrike> I was up in your part of the country last September - very beautiful. (Sorry to barge in on Wannabe's forum, but you don't seem to have your own.) Jan-29-07    Silverstrike: <Zebra> Thanks alot! Erm, are you refering to Scotland or Sweden?
