Jan-14-26 Chessgames - Odd Lie    WannaBe: This one is from Henry Cho: "I'm changing the caller ID of my wife's phone number to Potential Spam" If you have not seen or heard of Henry, he is worth some of your time on YouTube.      Jan-14-26 Chessgames - Politics    WannaBe: So, again, the worker expressed and exercised the 1st amendment right(s), whether suspension is warrented or not is up to company/union policy. Not the administration, because this will be 0-9 in the Supreme Court. Another individual (who happens to be the president) also exercised ...      Jan-14-26 Dickson    WannaBe: Apparently, it was a "far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to than I have ever known"      Jan-14-26 Chessgames - Sports    WannaBe: Well, the Wizard of Oz is playing at Las Vegas Sphere...      Jan-12-26 Fischer vs V Pupols, 1955    WannaBe: I was thinking baseball bat, tire iron, or brass knuckles.      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-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(???????)

< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 242 OF 750 ·  Later Kibitzing> Sep-18-07    Youjoin: Good luck, Wannabe! Sep-18-07    WannaBe: <Youjoin> You too, my friend. =) Sep-18-07    WannaBe: Got 2 games (challenges) from fellow CG.com members: http://gameknot.com/chess.pl?bd=812... http://gameknot.com/chess.pl?bd=814... Now, watch as my rating drops again... For some reason(s), I can hold my own pretty good, until another CG.com member(s) comes along and kick me right back down the rating ladder... =( Sep-18-07    Zebra: Hmmm. They're not on the User: GameKnot list. Sep-18-07    WannaBe: <Zebra> Then the <percyblakeney> should be FIRED, FIRED I say!! How can he be slacking?! And not keep things up-to-date!?!? The two members are fairly new, I'll make a note in <percyblakeney>'s forum. =) Sep-18-07    Zebra: <Wannabe> I think it's shocking. Sep-18-07    talisman: <retired> just from baseball...still have to teach. Sep-18-07    WannaBe: Crap... Dodgers just dropped both games of the double header to the Colorado Rockies... Looks like we'll be looking forward to next year. =( Sep-18-07    WannaBe: You know, when the first Elizabeth (Movie) came out, I did not watch it, I've read "Six Wives of Henry VIII" by David Starkey http://www.amazon.com/Six-Wives-Que... (but I have the hard cover edition =) And "Elizabeth" http://www.amazon.com/Elizabeth-Str... also by David Starkey, and lastly, I've read "Elizabeth and Mary" by Jane Dunn http://www.amazon.com/Elizabeth-Mar... Fully well knowing the history, I think I'll watch the 'sequel' to Elizabeth, it's titled "Elizabeth, The Golden Ages" http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/18094... great naval battles, and it also maybe, just maybe, I will learn something new... =) Sep-18-07    WannaBe: P.S. Do you know how to remember the six wives in order? It's CAJACC! Catherine of Aragon, Anne Bolyne, Jane Seymore, Anne of Cleves, Catherine Howard, and Catherine Parr. Guess Henry liked women named Catherine, then Anne!! =) Sep-19-07    technical draw: Remember six wives name? I only have one and shes whats her name?! Sep-19-07    WannaBe: <technical draw> Don't worry, when you get tired of one, just chop off her 'ead! Sep-19-07    technical draw: <Wannabe> Tried it. Got 15 to 20.... Sep-19-07    WannaBe: A little study in tactics... Or how deep you saw versus how deep your opponent saw: My actual game, after 12. Nc4 b5?? click for larger view white (me) plays 13. Nxb5, now, it is very tempting to recapture that knight. But to do so, would bring disaster upon black. However, my opponent decided to recapture anyway... This game is still on-going, but I think, even with my 'skills', I won't blunder this game away. Sep-19-07    achieve: <WannaBe> Qxb5? Then you fork him/her on d6 - then you c-file the hell out of your opponent.. Wasn't there a resignation? If not, kick ass time! ;-)) Sep-19-07    WannaBe: <achieve> No, my opponent have not resigned, yet. Sep-19-07    achieve: He should, anyway, I just had my first Draw at GK.. So <dakkie>'s 13/0/0 record is out of reach now, but dak is playing some very strong chess I can tell you! Sep-19-07    chessamateur: <WannaBe> I have some advice for you opponent. IMMEDIATE RESIGNATION! Sep-19-07    WannaBe: <achieve> Thanks for the warning, I'll avoid any/all game with <dakkie>!! Sep-20-07    chessmoron: LA Dodgers lost again! What a disappointment! Sep-20-07    WannaBe: Looks like 'Next Year' for the Dodgers... Bullpen didn't/can't hold the leads. Saito blows a save (rare) and Broxton blows one... =( Finished this month issue of NG, and wow! The article on bio-fuel is great! http://magma.nationalgeographic.com... have an excellent picture from India with blue-painted walls. The caption states, it traditionally marks the house of a Brahmans. (Makes me wonder if this 'color' differentiation is still true) And the article on zoonosis is just educational. Sep-20-07    YouRang: Remember that fiasco we had with the Dodgers last week (we discovered the hard way that they rescheduled the game at an earlier time)? It turns out that the Dodgers don't do refunds. On the back of the ticket, the super fine print says that the buyer is responsible for checking the start times daily. :-O Normally, the best they will do is offer a Tuesday or Wednesday game (our tickets were for Saturday night). However, after some protesting and explaining that this was a special planned occasion planned long in advance, they gave us tickets for Saturday the 29th. Of course, the difference is that it will be a meaningless game, playoff-wise. :-| Sep-20-07    WannaBe: Well, there is <slim> chance... KEEP HOPE ALIVE! (Dude, Bob's dead... =) Sep-20-07    technical draw: Hey, <Wannabe> I bet I'm a better computer geek than you are. I figured out how to find out if you are on someones ignore list and I bet you don't know how! Sep-20-07    WannaBe: <technical draw> Let's try some computer pseudo-code... If ((you're on my Ig. list) && (I have a forum) && (you try to post on my forum)) <You can't post>!! else <You can post> // not on ign. list // end if-else statement. =) Jump to page #   (enter # from 1 to 750) search thread:    < Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 242 OF 750 ·  Later Kibitzing>
