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-11-26 Chessgames - Sports   WannaBe: So I really kinda sorta, maybe late into the details of that Indiana/Oregon game. But I saw this article: https://www.yahoo.com/sports/articl... The Indiana player whose pick-6 started off the game? D'Angelo <Pond>. Not making this sheet up.      Jan-07-26 Chessgames - Odd Lie    WannaBe: My wife gently nudge me before dinner and said something about she wanted a little "Night Music" later that night. So I had 3 extra helpings of beans with hot sauce.      Jan-07-26 Chessgames - Politics    WannaBe: <perfidious> Not to worry, Gavin have a solution: https://calmatters.org/politics/202...      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(???????)      Dec-27-25 C Arroyo vs H Mas, 2009    WannaBe: Roberto Durán: "No Más, No Más"      Dec-26-25 Chessgames - Guys and Dolls    WannaBe: Elim Chan, conductor.

< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 224 OF 750 ·  Later Kibitzing> Jun-25-07    jessicafischerqueen: <MannBee> Ha! In MY day, we had to get up half an hour before we went to bed, clean lake, we had to pay mill owner to work at mill, then when we came home Dad would send us to bed by slitting our throats and jumping up and down on our graves singing <Bloody Hallelujah>!! And YOU think you had it tough! Jun-25-07    WannaBe: That's nothing, we had to work 16 hours on the railroad, then another 9 hours at the laundry shop, then 5 more hours at the restaurant. And then do it all over again, oh yeah, it was in 16 ft of snow, up-hill both ways! Jun-25-07    jessicafischerqueen: Heh. so you're a <Yorkshireman> too? Jun-25-07    brankat: <WannaBe> Do You feel like joining me, so we can severely punish the girls. <Cat and Rabbit> vs. <Punkettes> ;-) Lately, they have been bragging too much :-) Please, let me know. Then I can help Niels set up his forum to Host the game. Jun-26-07    Tactic101: Hi Wannabe! Great job in your win against a 1600+ rated player! That was nice. Everything went downhill for black after he played Na7. Actually, looking at it, Nxd5, Qxd5 and Nb4 with Nxc2 threat would give black an advantage. Na7 is just far too passive. Great job in finishing him off after that! Just a line: Want a rematch after this correspondance game? Thanks! :) Jun-26-07    WannaBe: <Tactic101> Rematch... Um... Kinda busy at the current moment, I would probably at this moment say no. Jun-26-07    Tactic101: That's okay. Tell me when you want one. Jun-26-07    HFlew: <WannaBe> Can I yank your pic of Ben Finegold? We need a nice pic of him to put on the Michigan Chess Website.... Jun-26-07    HFlew: <WannaBe> Actually, if you've got 2 good images of Ben that we could use, that would be really awesome (we would give you credit, of course). Jun-26-07    brankat: <WannaBe> So disappointing to see You being scared of two little girls :-) Btw, should You open up Your own watering hole I could use me a job, too! I promise there would be no beer spilled on the floor. I'd go 50/50. Half in the mugs and the other half, ahem... Take care buddy. Jun-27-07    whiskeyrebel: I agree, WannaBe should open a bar. He spends enough time in them as it is..might as well get paid! Jun-27-07    brankat: Yeah! That's what it is all about. He wants to drink for free :-) Jun-27-07    Open Defence: I bet <Wannabe> dreams of the day scientists announce that drinking beer actually improves ones chess Jun-27-07    WannaBe: <Open Defence> Yes, it does already, if my opponent drinks beer, my chess (rating) improves! Jun-27-07    Open Defence: and you use the Scotch Opening as White.. I am beginning to see a pattern here.... Jun-27-07    WannaBe: Gonna change my name to Alekhine... =) Jun-27-07    Open Defence: < WannaBe: Gonna change my name to Alekhine... =) > or maybe <Alkoholine> Jun-28-07    brankat: Running a bar would cut into <WannaBe>'s drinking schedule :-) Jun-28-07    Tactic101: Hilarious posts here. Or maybe you'll convince your opponent that you are Max Euwe and he is Alekhine and hence he is compulsed to drink to keep with the spirit.
