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simulation, e.g. how much saving you already have, male/female life expectancy, expected returning and amount withdrawn each year.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 ...

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 ...

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.

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

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.

  WannaBe: Did anybody here see Sir Barton win it all? Anyone? Anyone?
Jun-05-12  hms123: <WannaBe> I knew <Sir Barton> during the Great War when he was merely <Mr. Barton>. After he was knighted, he forgot about his old friends.

  WannaBe: Kings win! Kings win! Kings win!!!

Long live the Kings!

Jun-12-12  NakoSonorense: You're a Sacramento Kings fan now? I'm disappointed!

Wonder if we'll have riots tonight. I get the feeling that LA is not too much into hockey.

Jun-12-12  Jim Bartle: Somehow that calls up an image of Vlade Divac skating in toward goal. Not a glorious image.

How about Wes Unseld or Charles Barkley as goalies, though? As long as they stayed upright, just their bodies would protect 90% of the net.

  chancho: <Deffi> Major bummer that you are dropping Chess. But no doubt you have your reasons.

An even bigger bummer is that you may be leaving this site.

Say it isn't so!

You're posts are very much appreciated by the Chessgames.Com community.

And like <Benzol> said: You'll be missed.

Best of luck in all your endeavours.

Jun-25-12  technical draw: <Open Defence> You don't have to play chess to post on this site, just look at <WannaBe>. You can stick around and just comment on stuff. Your comments are always welcome(d). Ok, ok, I'll send you $20 if you stay for another year, how's that?
