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.

< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 230 OF 750 ·  Later Kibitzing> Jul-22-07    chessmoron: http://www.metacritic.com/books/aut... Critic's B+ vs WannaBe's C+. Whom should I believe? Jul-22-07    WannaBe: Much like movie review(er)s, if there is a reviewer, whose taste/past reviews you agree with, or disagree with, I tend to go with that person's opinion. Jul-22-07    NakoSonorense: I took a glance at a copy of the book today and it's HUGE! I think I'll just watch the movie... Jul-22-07    chessmoron: You lazy bum! The font is huge, and I'm half away finished for my first day. Jul-22-07    NakoSonorense: Yuo read the book and I'll watch the movie. Let's see who finish first, shall we? Jul-22-07    WannaBe: The movie for the 7th book isn't out yet, and I'm done with the book. I win. Jul-22-07    chessmoron: I'll draw easily. 2+ hours movie. No sweat. Jul-23-07    NakoSonorense: <cm> I don't know about yours, but there's a button on my remote control labeled "fast forward." You have no hope. Good thing I wasn't racing you, wannabe! Otherwise... Jul-23-07    chessmoron: I have a remote control too. It's called skim. Jul-23-07    WannaBe: <NakoSonorense> I've seen the first 2 movie, and compare to the books, the paper version is much better. Go to the library, read the first book, see if you like it. Give it a try, you might be surprised... (Book one took me five hours, one sitting, Sunday night to read it... Had to go to work the next day... It was rough, almost like my college days before a midterm/final. =) Jul-23-07    NakoSonorense: I'll give it a try as soon as I'm done with Summer School. The only thing that has kept me from reading it before is that I think it's a children's book. But it is not, right? Jul-23-07    chessmoron: <Nako> NO! 20-30 year old are reading it but with different book covers as they try to hide it. Jul-23-07    NakoSonorense: Why? Is there a reason as to why they have to hide it???? Can;t think of any... Jul-23-07    WannaBe: <NakoSonorense> Ummm... I thought it was a children's story, but if you enjoy reading "Lion, Witch, Wardrobe", and possibly some others, you will like Harry Potter. Books 1, 2, 3 and really small... Only book 4, 5, 6, 7 that's huge, books 4-7, each one is over 600+ pages. Book 5 was over 800 pages, book 7 was over 700 pages long. (I had to go to my shelve and double check the numbers.) But it only took me about 11 hours to read book seven. I didn't do it at one sitting. Like I said, get book one, read it, and see if it grabs you like it grabbed me. =) Jul-23-07    Tactic101: 'Mindless' isn't the word I think of when I think of Deathly Hallows. It's quite sad and heartbreaking. Some parts may get a little dull, but it's quite enjoyable and is a bit more emotional than the other books. I'll give it an 'A' 'A+' if JKR changed the epilogue, which seems to be formed when she was just beginning the series, hence it's of lower quality compared to the rest of the book. Jul-23-07    WannaBe: Biel games starts 5 AM my time, and tomorrow is Polgar-Carlsen, me thinkth me'll make every effort I can to get up at 4:50. =) Jul-23-07    dabearsrock1010: <wannabe> same time here, but I wont be getting up...unless i cant sleep Jul-25-07    JoeWms: To Whom it May: The late Isaac Stern was the fiddler in Fiddler, stage and screen. Jul-25-07    jessicafischerqueen: You guys are lucky. I have to get up <half an hour before I go to bed>. I bet <Van Wheely> to win the <Bee> Tournament, but I think <Polgar> may win. <MannBee>, don't you think it's strange that none of <your people> are in the <Bee> tournament? I think it's strange. Regards, Batchimeg Tuvshintugs Jul-25-07    dabearsrock1010: <jessicafischerqueen> what does batchimeg tuvshintugs mean? is that your name? Jul-25-07    jessicafischerqueen: Yes, it is. I am the woman's chess champion of Mongolia. Jul-25-07    dabearsrock1010: Congrats im the men's chess champion of mongolia surprised weve never crossed paths Jul-25-07    WannaBe: The way they are DQ'ing riders in the Tour, I have a chance to win it this year! They just sent the over-all leader home!! Rasmussen! Jul-25-07    Larsker: They don't even need any proof anymore. Rasmussen just didn't inform the International Cycling organisation about where he was for three weeks in June. I think they should just stop the race all together - but the French don't have the dignity to do that. Jul-26-07    jessicafischerqueen: <MannBee> did you bet <chessbucks> on the <Tour de France>?
