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simulation, e.g. how much saving you already have, male/female life expectancy, expected returning and amount withdrawn each year.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. Zed's dead. (if one is to go down the 'Pulp Fiction' path) "That is A tasty burger!!"      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 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-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...

< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 406 OF 750 ·  Later Kibitzing> Jul-27-11    Phony Benoni: Oh, the Braves are used to playing long games: http://www.retrosheet.org/boxesetc/... Jul-27-11    WannaBe: What is more amazing, is that both pitchers threw all 26 innings! Jul-28-11    WannaBe: I am now accepting voting on the worst sport call/non-call in my forum, the details can be found by clicking on my name or Bugs Bunny avatar. Is it Maradona's Hands of God, or USA basketball losing the Russians in the Olympics, maybe it is the Ireland-France World Cup Qualifying, possibly the USA-Brazil Women's World Cup, or the perfect baseball that wasn't for Detroit last year? Cast your vote, in my forum (I am too lazy to run all over the place tracking down your vote. One vote per member name, if you have sock puppets, I am also too lazy to find out and track them down too...) Again, details are in my profile... I am using/doing this as a test, for the 2011 Caissar Award. Jul-28-11    Oliveira: My vote no doubt goes to Maradona's "Mano de Dios" against England for the importance and all the surroundings of that match, with Argentina's humiliating defeat at the Malvinas War four years before, and also for Diego's nerve to do it. Jul-29-11    WannaBe: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vR5U... (Grade C+) no where is it as good as http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrEk... (A--) I mean c'mon, taping the sheet music to the back of the person in front of you?! Professional musicians who knows their stuff, should not need sheet music to play Bolero. You think Yo-Yo Ma or Isaak Perlmann need sheet music!? Jul-29-11    WannaBe: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4sA... is probably the best video/spoof by Weird Al. (And yes, I am a huge fan of Al... and Doors.) Jul-29-11    WannaBe: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4Zq... not quite as good as the L. Bernstein version http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxb7... Jul-29-11    technical draw: In researching for worse call/non call I came upon this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5Wc... Jul-31-11    OhioChessFan: Hello Wascally Wabbit. Not sure if this in your area of expertise, but <ounos> asked for some help on this page: Timman vs Murey, 1993 Aug-01-11    OhioChessFan: No doubt the end of 72 USSR-USA basketball game. Aug-01-11    talisman: i second <Ohio>'s 72 ussr-usa basketball...coach never coached again i believe...who was he ...Iba? Aug-02-11    OhioChessFan: Possible Caissar catergoy: Best Forum Name Not sure how I posted that in <PB> forum, but anyway. Aug-05-11    WannaBe: I do not think, or remember, a year, that the teams that finished 1-2 in the previous year, would be so far out of the top 10 in the pre-season poll next year... http://espn.go.com/college-football... Aug-06-11    WannaBe: I think <whiteshark> have one of the most interesting profile that I have read, as a reminder to myself, I will nominate him for the best profile for 2011 Caissar. Aug-06-11    whiteshark: Is this place now the official <Odd Lie> Forum? and no ... you don't/won't do it... whatever... :D:D:D Aug-07-11    WannaBe: <whiteshark> What ever happened to your avatar?!?!? Aug-07-11    WannaBe: Greetings from NoCal! =) Aug-08-11    whiteshark: <WannaBe: <What ever happened to your avatar?>> It wondrously disappeared during my 6 months of chess abstinence. Well, chaos, panic and disorder- my work here is done, anyway. :D Aug-08-11    midknightblue: wannabe what's new? I was in vegas a few months ago. Good times. National open. When you gonna be there next? Aug-08-11    WannaBe: <midknightblue> I have 'moved', well, not completely out of SoCal yet, but I got a job with my old company in San Mateo, NoCal. Today is my first day at work, and things are going just as expected. I will try to make it to the 2012 National Open. Aug-08-11    OhioChessFan: Word on the street is that your first day was so harmful to the company their stock fell 10%. Aug-08-11    WannaBe: <OhioChessFan> Odd Lie! Odd Lie! I was in no way responsible for the crash of the market, it was the tea party and republicans!! =))) Aug-10-11    midknightblue: lol, good luck at your new job - would be cool if i see you again next year. any other tournaments coming up? I am preparing for hawaii state open in 3 weeks Aug-11-11    WannaBe: <midnightblue> I have not yet checked into the NoCal schedule for chess tournaments. (I only arrived on Sunday, the 7th...) But, if I should find anything, I will let you know! Aug-11-11    WannaBe: http://news.yahoo.com/britains-riot... I do not know, was this the same group in 1935/6 that came together? Is or will this be the same group the will ask what is promised? (Much like the WWI veterans did in U.S. with march on D.C. and in Germany?) If you promise nothing, no one will expect anything, if you promise the world, people will expect the universe.
