Jan-27-26 Chessgames - Sports    WannaBe: TL: DR, Stanford U. settles with family Now for something that is much sadder and darker. https://www.espn.com/college-sports... Now, I am definitely not qualified to comment on law or virtually anything related. Besides from reading Scott Turow and Michael Connely books. Settling ...      Jan-24-26 Tata Steel Challengers (2026)    WannaBe: Personally I am surprised (or shocked) that L'Ami and Ivanchuk are playing in this section of the tournament.      Jan-23-26 Chessgames - Politics    WannaBe: See, if you defund the police, this would not have happened... https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles...      Jan-20-26 WannaBe chessforum   WannaBe: Re: Star Trek Academy <WannaBe: 12m in. Not impressed> So, I did not finish episode one, it's still in my queue, but I did manage to read some of the reviews... And the reviews have not been kind. Some even compared episodes 1 and 2 (released the same day) to the very much ...      Jan-20-26 Hort vs de Firmian, 1986   WannaBe: <Breunor> Good question, I ran this game through the computer game analysis and: 31...Kg6 32.Bxa7 Bc4 33.Nd5 Nc6 34.Bc5 Ne5 35.Ke3 Bf1 36.Bd4 ⩱ +0.87 (41 ply) Possibly white was low on time and don't want to risk the chance to reaching move 40      Jan-19-26 R Toran vs M Valls Tona, 1948    WannaBe: Well, if you play f4, there is mate in 250...      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 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-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...

< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 2 OF 750 ·  Later Kibitzing> Jan-11-06    Robin01: I'm here. Jan-11-06    WannaBe: First, white has a team name, do we need a one? Second, since we're playing black. What are some of our black-side strength? for e4 I always play Sicilian, but Pirc is okay with me. for d4 I always play KID. for English, Polish, Nimz-Larsen, I play e5. These are my strongest replies to the white's possibilities. =) Jan-11-06    NakoSonorense: it'd be nice if we chose a team name, wouldnt it? Any suggestions? Jan-11-06    sitzkrieg: Me 2. Jan-11-06    sitzkrieg: I suggest team Sitzkrieg:DDD Jan-11-06    Robin01: I normally answer with c5 against e5 and get into some type of sicilian. Against d4 I usually play Nf6 and see what develops, however, usually end up in some type of queen gambit or slav. Now, those are my strengths, but I enjoy playing all different types of positions. Jan-11-06    sitzkrieg: Black repertoire for me; sicilian taimanov, caro kann, grunfeld and occasional KI; so "compatible" with wannabe Jan-11-06    Robin01: How about the White Knights. That should confuse them, since we are playing black. Jan-11-06    NakoSonorense: My votes: for 1.e4 - c5 [sicilian] for 1.d4 - f5 [dutch] for 1.c4 - e5 [dont know the name of this] Jan-11-06    sitzkrieg: Enemy team members should no longer come here when we discuss moves tho.. Jan-11-06    sitzkrieg: Lol RObin Jan-11-06    sitzkrieg: <The Dark horses>?? Jan-11-06    NakoSonorense: The Dark Horses works for me! Jan-11-06    Robin01: The Dark Horses is fine. Jan-11-06    NakoSonorense: I have to leave now. If white starts with something different than e4, d4, c4, then I'll vote for the exact opposite of wannabe's choice. :) I'll be back in a few hours. Have fun! Jan-11-06    WannaBe: Okie-Dokie. Where is <RonB>? Jan-11-06    RonB52734: Here. Sorry; I'm at work! Jan-11-06    WannaBe: =) we were just going over our strength for moves against white openings. Jan-11-06    RonB52734: "Dark Horses" works for me; and I endorse WannaBe's opening choices Jan-11-06    Robin01: I must also leave for a couple of hours. Work calls. Jan-11-06    Robin01: WannaBe's opening choice are fine. So is the Dutch. Jan-11-06    sitzkrieg: Lol. And i will have to leave in a couple of hours. We gonna work in shifts? Jan-11-06    WannaBe: preferrably all of us can be here to decide. Unfortunately that may not be possible at times. We'll have to do the best we can, either leave a post w/ the choice move, or? Jan-11-06    WannaBe: <RonB52734> I agree. Until majority (3) votes is reached, we wait for other team members' input. Jan-11-06    RonB52734: <sitzkrieg> <We gonna work in shifts?> I think we have to be a majority to move; each of us just has to check back here and at the game as he or she can to see where things stand. Also, I think it's best when actually voting on a move (once the game begins) to post the vote on the game page.
