| Jan-01-08 | | Open Defence: <Wannabe> Owls are excellent at delivering things.. haven't you seen Harry Potter ? |
|
| Jan-01-08 | | Open Defence: <Jess> interesting photo of our <Domdaniel> there.. who knew he was a member of Hootie and the Blowfish ? |

 | | WannaBe: I've noticed that some members like to post well wish messages on various forum, but unfortunately, I'm very, very, very, very lazy. (Ever seen a 'hard working' rabbit? I didn't think so...) To all my friends (and advanced apology if I left out your name) <What's his name>, <What's her name>, <You know, that guy>, <The one with the funny avatar>, <The one who posts often on 'Odd Lie' page>, <That guy who always posts 'first'>, <The one I lost to in 5 moves on ICC>, <That other one that I lost to in 6 moves on FICS>, <That guy that I lost to in 10 moves on GameKnot.com>, <The one who destroyed me in 15 moves on QueenAlice.com>, and finally, <The one who played my own gambit and <BEAT ME> on schemingmind.com> Happy New Year!!! (I'm studying 'really', 'really', 'really' hard, so be ready for my Gambit!!!) |

| Jan-01-08 | | brankat: How about a "Gambit Hall", ..."Enter at Your own....." :-) Surely, there must be some gambling inclined characters in the area. And they are a Gold mine :-) |
|
| Jan-01-08 | | chesstoplay: Happy New Year!!
Hope to see you again this year in Chicago.
Stay safe and stay funny in 2008 you wabbit!!!

| Jan-01-08 | | malthrope: 'Happy New Year' <WannaBe> :) May it be a great one, chess wise, with lots of fresh carrots for your favorite wabbit! ;) All the Best, - Mal

| | WannaBe: Oy, this Georgia v. Hawaii game is getting as ugly as the USC v. Illinois game... |
|
| Jan-02-08 | | brankat: <WannaBe> I suppose You are not going to make it to Gibraltar again this year. Any other tournament plans for 2008? Some US Championships, I guess. |
|
Jan-02-08
| | WannaBe: <brankat> Correct, no Gibraltar for me this year... =( I was very much looking forward to it too... For sure, for sure, I will be at the 2008 National Open again (http://www.lvchessfestival.com) and I do intend to sign up for the Gata Kamsky Simul. Going to see if I can last as long as I did against Susan Polgar. =) <whiskeyrebel> and I have already begun thinking about sharing a room again, and do what we did last year, which worked out great for both of us. |
|
| Jan-02-08 | | brankat: Well, Eric Schiller is not going to be in Gibraltar this year either. So, You are not going to miss all that much :-) Also, there is more action available in Vegas! |
|
Jan-03-08
| | WannaBe: <brankat> Some day... I'll visit Europe... Some day... |
|
| Jan-03-08 | | brankat: Perhaps Staunton Memorial in August! Both E.Schiller and R.Keene will be there. And of course, <achieve>, <EmperorA>, <dakgootje>...right across the Channel :-) |
|
| Jan-03-08 | | HFlew: Hey! I don't think you invented that gambit. My opponent (an expert), used to play that all the time against me! |
|
| Jan-04-08 | | brankat: Captain Kirk? |
|

| | WannaBe: Looks like 2008 is off to a rough start on the stock market... BUY! BUY! BUY!! |
|
| Jan-04-08 | | NakoSonorense: Grr, I'm gonna get me a graphing calculator tomorrow. It costs ~ $100. So darn expensive! :( Don't worry, after that I'm sure the stock market will skyrocket... :S |
|
| Jan-05-08 | | brankat: Don't buy and don't sell. Keep the money in your pocket. |
|
| Jan-05-08 | | Pi Guy: I was bored, so I decided to try out the WannaBe Gambit in a game with 5 minutes per side. Unfortunately, I completely messed it up and ended up with a horrible position (or is that the point of the gambit?)... Then my opponent traded off too many pieces and I pressured his king until he ran out of time. [Event "uChess rated"]

Rg1xg7 Qd8-c8 13. Qe6xe7 1-0 Experiments are scheduled for a later date to determine the usefulness of this opening in games in which the opponent is better than the creator of the gambit. Until then, I guess I'll just assume that it's sound... |
|

| | WannaBe: <Pi Guy> That 'sound', is your opponent's jaw dropping to the floor. =) |
|
| Jan-05-08 | | Pi Guy: I think my second opponent actually picked it up and did surgery before making his second move. ...and thanks for the new opening, but I don't think it fits my strategy. |
|
| Jan-05-08 | | Open Defence: It reminds me of Steinitz Gambit line ... Ke2 has pedigree |
|
| Jan-06-08 | | Zebra: Sorry I was too late to kill the previous post. Could you please remove it for me? |
|
| Jan-06-08 | | brankat: <Zebra> It looks like <WannaBe> deleted the wrong one :-) |
