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.

< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 216 OF 754 ·  Later Kibitzing> May-13-07    NakoSonorense: <24. Swim across the Atlantic Ocean 3,462 mi> HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA May-13-07    you vs yourself: <WannaBe> God, it feels great to be done with the exams. Regarding the chicago open, I just saw the class prizes and they're looking pretty good. Only problem is one has to play at least 26 games to qualify for the top prize. I only played 21 games, which means the max I can win is 2k. You, on the other hand, have a chance to win $4000!! I hope you're preparing hard(ly:) for this thing. BTW this(kstc_jyu@yahoo.com) is your e-mail address, right? Just want to confirm before sending my phone number. May-13-07    WannaBe: kstc_jyu@yahoo.com is the one. If not, I've got you in my addr book. want me to sent you an e-mail first? May-13-07    WannaBe: Ah, yes, after 25 games, your rating is no longer provisional... But I wonder... Since Chicago Open is 7 gms, you have 21, does the 7 count?? Because, that'd give you 28 gms! May-13-07    you vs yourself: I already sent you an e-mail. Let me know if you got it. May-13-07    WannaBe: <You vs. yourself> Yep. I got it. May-13-07    Tactic101: Still losing all your Chessbucks, eh, <Wannabe>? =) May-13-07    WannaBe: <Tactic101> Yes, unfortunately, the players at MTel aren't cooperating. :-)) May-14-07    WannaBe: Here is the original, by Norman Greenbaum, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQ-q... And here is the 'NEW' version. (By an Indian singer) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EPUX... And quite actually, I like them both, I like how the newer version speed up the song! (Also the new version got hot dancers and humourous under-tone. I give 12 pts to the new version!) May-14-07    hitman84: <WannaBe>Its not a new version but more of a spoof. That's actually a talk show called "The Kumars at no. 42" where they invite celebrities to their home as guests and interview them. Its a sick show really but you know how the Brits like their humour :) May-14-07    Eyal: <WannaBe> Thanks for your input on the song - a pity that an overwhelming majority of European voters didn't think the same:-) Anyway, it's definitely not what you would call a "typical Eurovision song" - though, come to think of it, that category itself is getting somewhat blurry in recent years. Btw, the name of the band means white correction fluid. May-14-07    DrDum: <Wannabe> The answer to your question in the cafe I believe is a band called the <New Vaudville Band>. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winche... May-14-07    WannaBe: Thanks everyone! <Phony Benoni> and <DrDum>!! I found a clip of 'em: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQ4G... May-15-07    WannaBe: Potential Darwin Award Honorable Mention: http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/05/15/wh... May-15-07    WannaBe: No, I want your company to give us MORE money ON TOP of the free stuff! What bull... http://gowest.blogs.fortune.com/200... May-16-07    WannaBe: <Tactic101> You 'DARE' to challenge the <GREAT WannaBe> on GK?? =) Knowning my records against fellow CG.com members, you should win the game in 19 moves. May-16-07    Resignation Trap: I can find some articles on Aspen 1968 in <Chess Life> and <Chess Review>. Anything specific you have in mind? May-16-07    WannaBe: <Resignation Trap> Just that some people were questioning today's Game of the Day M Callinan vs Saidy, 1968 and I can't find anything in my database (that came with Shredder). I don't doubt that the game took place, but Callinan only have one game in CG.com's database... May-16-07    Resignation Trap: Callinan-Saidy was played in Round One, Sunday August 11, 1968. Saidy went on to score 9/12 (4th-6th place). Callinan, 5.5/12 (92nd-107th). May-16-07    WannaBe: <Resignation Trap> Thank you, so much!! May-17-07    Tactic101: Oh boy, oh boy, what on earth did I get myself into........ Sure am smart.... =) And no, I think the game will go past 19 moves. But the result will not be something I'll be proud of. =) May-17-07    WarmasterKron: <Knowning my records against fellow CG.com members, you should win the game in 19 moves.> Reassuring. Though perhaps your record after my 3...f5 against your Scotch. May-17-07    WannaBe: Alright!! I'm moving to Australia!! http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070517... May-17-07    chesstoplay: Hi WannaBe, I've made reservations at the hotel Atrium for breakfast at 9 AM Saturday. I have a table for 10. Pass it on to Drdrum. Yury will be there. I've invited one of my assistant coaches also. Tim Just will be there. I'll probably invite a few NTDs that I know also. Let me know if anyone else will join us from chessgames.com. Thanks, Peter / chesstoplay May-18-07    Chess Classics: Thanks much for the offer. But the hotel is in Chicago, right? That's a four-hour drive, and I can't drive yet, would have to talk my Mom into it =/. Too bad, I was looking forward to eating brekky with Yury.
