Jan-20-26 Chessgames - Sports    WannaBe: <keypusher> In a nutshell, Monte Carlo simulation is used in insurance, life, auto, home <A LOT>. It is also used in retirement simulation, e.g. how much saving you already have, male/female life expectancy, expected returning and amount withdrawn each year. Also some ...      Jan-20-26 WannaBe chessforum   WannaBe: Re: Star Trek Academy <WannaBe: 12m in. Not impressed> So, I did not finish episode one, it's still in my queue, but I did manage to read some of the reviews... And the reviews have not been kind. Some even compared episodes 1 and 2 (released the same day) to the very much ...      Jan-20-26 Hort vs de Firmian, 1986   WannaBe: <Breunor> Good question, I ran this game through the computer game analysis and: 31...Kg6 32.Bxa7 Bc4 33.Nd5 Nc6 34.Bc5 Ne5 35.Ke3 Bf1 36.Bd4 ⩱ +0.87 (41 ply) Possibly white was low on time and don't want to risk the chance to reaching move 40      Jan-19-26 R Toran vs M Valls Tona, 1948    WannaBe: Well, if you play f4, there is mate in 250...      Jan-16-26 Chessgames - Politics    WannaBe: Zed's dead.

< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 395 OF 750 ·  Later Kibitzing> Jan-06-11    WannaBe: The 'official' count, of votes for Best Handle/Names, as far as <jessicafischerqueen> is concerned, I counted 4 official votes. They are from <technical draw>, which is first write-in vote, then <ragh>, <hms123>, and <wwall>. Their post, was very distinct, in such that it was a vote. (Even though there was weeks of nomination process, and she was not amongst the nominees, and out of the blue, people decided to start a write-in process.) The 2 'dispute' vote, as I would consider, would be <talisman> and <benjinathan>, one was written as a question, <benjinathan>, and the other was written as: <votes for Jess in whatever category she is nominated.> Which, she was not! And I had no clue on how to interpret what those two posts really meant... So, according the 'official' vote counter, e.g., i.e., for example, moi. The final count was 4 votes each. End of discussion. Jan-06-11    SwitchingQuylthulg: Quote of the Day: "The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The person who counts the votes decides everything." --- <WannaBe> Jan-06-11    WannaBe: <SwitchingQuylthulg> I was on the Florida's ballot counting committee, and as a member of the U.S. Supreme Court Justice!! Imagine that! Jan-06-11    Boratco: LoL, can't imagine the queen on the ballot, only Gore and Bush. Switch, more satisfying winning the chessbookie championship leg, let's go get 'em. I'm outta here.

Jan-06-11    TheFocus: Best Avatar: <TheFocus> and <technical draw>. I know it is kinda cheesy voting for your own, so I will split my vote between my two favorite avatars. Best Historian: <jessicafischerqueen> and <crawbfb5>. Again, half a vote for each.
