|
May-24-07
| | WannaBe: So.... We were down at the hotel bar having dinner, and a few beers, and <DrDum> and <you vs yourself> decided to play a few blitz, the bartender stopped them, because it's 'game'. While 4 feet away, some guy is shooting pool... Go fig... |
|
May-24-07
| | WannaBe: Oh, yeah, <DrDum>'s check-in was delayed, because he have identical name as someone who's on the no-fly list. |

| May-26-07 | | chesstoplay: Thanks for the very nice message.
<chessgames.com> is clearly one of the finest communities of chess players in world history. And maybe one of the largest!
I had a great time this morning.
I've asked for a Chicago Open page here as Monroi is now covering the games starting with round 2. Yury and Shabalov already won their round 2 games.
Yury's game was a hoot!!
You should have other CG players take a look at it at Monroi.com |

I think this is Joe... but am not 100 percent sure.
Ask Tim Just if he is still there or just ask Joe.

|
| May-26-07 | | chesstoplay: Hey, sorry that the 3rd round wasn't what you wanted, but your day was a winner!! It was really great to meet you, Drdum and you vrs yourself. What were the names of the other two players from cg that are at the tournament other than you 3 and Bob and Jeff? Round 4 will be better!
I am a proud member of the WannaBe fan club!!!

| | WannaBe: <chesstoplay> Nice pictures!! I drew my 5th game, so now have 2 pts after 5 games, gonna try to break 3.5 for this 7 round tournament. <DrDum> and I both have 2 pts.
<you vs yourself> and <phoenix> both have 3 pts.
<tpstar> have 3.5 pts. Have to go to bed early, because we have an earlier start tomorow. |

| May-28-07 | | dr.roho: <WannaBe>! Sweet, you're at a tournament in Chicago. Best of luck to you! The only chances I get to go to chessgames I stop by here first because you tend to post the best links ever! I moved but I am still within the state. My school ended and now I going to try to pick up where I left off - except, of course, trying not to be so controversial this time around (I think my grammer became a big issue last time with some people but I'm workin on it lol). Keep it up, buddy. Have a great time in the Windy City... |
