Apr-07-26 Chessgames - Sports    WannaBe: In case I forgot, congrats to them Lady Bruins. =)) U. Mich (69-63) won, but the last spread I saw was -6.5, so if you took UConn w/ spread, you got very lucky, if you bet on them U. Mich, I feel bad; the O/U was 148.5      Apr-06-26 Fusilli chessforum   WannaBe: You too <Fusilli>      Apr-05-26 Chessgames - Odd Lie   WannaBe: Gotta double-triple check for typos in the future, what is "coving my neighbor's wife"?? Are we doves?      Apr-01-26 OhioChessFan chessforum   WannaBe: <OCF> I will now have be a wabbit and dig dipper into Camp Washington Chili. Never hoid of them, don't know if they are canned, fast food, grocery store, etc. Will keep you updated.      Mar-21-26 Chessgames - TV and Films    WannaBe: <CIO> LOL. I remember those mems... <chancho> North by Norwest, totally agree, the audiences know that the plane scene was filmed earlier and played on a screen behind. It was still drama. Same thing with the Mt. Rushmore chase scene.      Mar-18-26 Chessgames - Politics    WannaBe: <plang> Do you have a link to where you got that information/data from? I would love to read it for myself.      Mar-16-26 WannaBe chessforum    WannaBe: Future research project, how did Offenbach - Orpheus in the Underworld became "Can Can" and women kicking legs before the Radio City Hall Rocketts. An history that probably need some "Lookin Into"      Mar-13-26 chessgames.com chessforum    WannaBe: ¡Olé! ¡Olé! this is what I see for "¡Olé! ¡Olé!" (game of the day Mar-13-2026) I also know this issue have been around for a while, and it's not that important, in IT term, it is a level 'C', cosmetic fix. But I just wish to report it again. Can CG.com unify this ...      Mar-11-26 Sebastien Feller    WannaBe: <FSR> March 11 is his birthday, and usually PoD is chosen from the birth date of the player. So unless CG.com decides to change the algorithm on how PoD is decided. We will randomly get "undesired" player(s).      Mar-05-26 G Timoscenko vs Karpov, 1967   WannaBe: So, strictly out of "Morbid Curiosity", I requested an analysis of the position: 1) +12.62 (22 ply) 55...Ke6 56. Nc6 Bg2 57. Nxa7 Ba8 58. Nc6 Kd7 59. Ne5+ Ke6 60. Nxg6 Be4 61. b6 f4 62. Nxf4+ Kf5 63. g6 Kg4 64. b7 Kxg3 65. b8=Q Kf3 66. g7 Bh7 67. g8=Q Bxg8 68. Qxg8 Ke3 69. a7 Ke4 ...

< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 203 OF 754 ·  Later Kibitzing> Feb-19-07    you vs yourself: +2-3 for me. 2 of the games I lost were against players rated lower than me. Does that mean I suck too? Cheer up <Wannabe>! For amateurs, chess should never be all about winning. It's about learning the game and about yourself. Feb-19-07    WannaBe: <you vs yourself> You only played 5 games?! Didn't go for the full 6?! :-) <chessmoron> This is the JRE right? If so, have you gone to control panel and see if you have a Java icon? And try to 'upgrade' to the latest version of JRE that way? Feb-19-07    WannaBe: Oh, yeah... Best Team Name, West: e2, Brute?! Feb-19-07    you vs yourself: Best team name: Beer battered fish. BTW, we had 5 rounds and it was only for sat and sunday. Feb-19-07    chessmoron: <If so, have you gone to control panel and see if you have a Java icon?> I guess I don't have the icon on my control panel. But I try to install it but it fails and gets the message what I wrote above. Feb-20-07    brankat: <WannaBe> Before I make my move in our new game at GK, meant to ask if You wanted to play any particular Opening/variation, which You may want to practice? Afterall this is for practice, and, of course, You are preparing for Chicago. It would probably be better that way, rather than just a "random" game. It is perhaps a good idea to choose something You expect to encounter in Your tournament games, and don't feel quite comfortable with. Not much of a point in playing lines and types of positions that You are well familiar with. It is not really even so much the opening(s) that should matter. You can always check them out in the Opening Explorer, but mostly various types of middle-game positions which stem from the Openings. That's where the games are decided more often than not. Actually what I was thinking of, is to play a "match" of, say, 4 games simultaneously, 2 with White, 2 with Black. You choose all the variations, leading to types of middle-game set-ups You feel You should practice. We can then make first 5-6 moves in a Blitz fashion in all of them, in an hour or so, to reach the desired positions, and then take it from there. We can even do some analizing es we go. It would be good practice. That's was really the reason why I suggested a few days ago that we postpone the game for a day or two. Let me know whwt You think of the idea. If You want to try it, then maybe take another day to decide what would You like us to play. Then let me know, and we can start, either Tuesday or Wednesday. If not, then I'll just make a move in the game already on GK. Feb-20-07    brankat: Still partying after the tournament? ;-) Feb-20-07    brankat: <WannaBe> WELL? Feb-20-07    WannaBe: We need a similiar program for CG.com =) http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070220... Feb-20-07    hitman84: LOL! E-mail addiction that's a new one! Feb-20-07    hitman84: http://english.people.com.cn/200702... Feb-20-07    WannaBe: <chessmoron> I need to google and read up on that... Never seen that problem before. Not knowing your Operating System, (XP? 2000? ME?) make sure it's compatible with the JRE version AND the installer (version) Is the installer an .exe? Or .msi? Feb-20-07    jessicafischerqueen: <As <micartouse> said, you're really tied for 2nd, behind only the incredible <WannaBe>.> Ahem... "No chance, no chance, mate..." Heh Feb-20-07    WannaBe: <jessicafischerqueen: ..."No chance, no chance, mate..." ... > Starting to sound like a broken LP. =) Feb-20-07    chessmoron: <WannaBe> It's XP. The Full message: 'The installation package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package'. Feb-20-07    WannaBe: <chessmoron> Dumb question, who are you logged into your computer as, does it have Administrator priviledge to install/remove programs? Feb-20-07    chessmoron: It's my own computer. Feb-20-07    WannaBe: that wasn't my question... =) Feb-20-07    chessmoron: That means I have full control to install/remove programs. =D Feb-20-07    WannaBe: Let me google it, and see what I can find... Feb-20-07    jessicafischerqueen: Do <LPs> still exist? Aren't they all broken by now? (raised on the Internet). Good luck in the prediction contest!! (no chance etc. etc.) Mrs. E. Crabbe New South Wales (Next Door to <Hitman>) Feb-20-07    suenteus po 147: <WannaBe> Would you be interested in joining my chessgames kibitzers minitournament on GameKnot in a couple of weeks? Feb-20-07    WannaBe: <jessicafischerqueen> You young'ns... At least when an LP breaks down, you usually just replace the needle or some other cheap internal components, now, a CD player breaks down... =( Speaking of young'ns, here is a conversation I had recently with a young (cute) bartender... Me: I overheard, that you play the cello. Her: Yes! Want to teach music, I attend the local college here. Me: That's great! I used to play when I was at Wilson High. Her: I went to Wilson too! Me: REALLY?! I was the class of '90. Her: I was the class of '03. Me: Check, Please! Feb-20-07    jessicafischerqueen: <WannaBe> ROFL!!! Feb-20-07    chessmoron: <WannaBe> Got anything yet? I tried finding it myself but couldn't find a solution to the problem. Jump to page #   (enter # from 1 to 754) search thread:    < Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 203 OF 754 ·  Later Kibitzing>
