WannaBe: Another not important thing that I noticed, as a premium member when I visit ChessGames.com Statistics Page page, I see ads. Not that a big deal. Sure CG.com have more important things to fix.

  WannaBe: News: D. Freese crashes into tree to avoid deer: http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/8...

Reaction: How come no one ever crash into a deer to avoid a tree. I mean C'mon!!!

Nov-24-12  Jim Bartle: "Investigators say alcohol was not a factor in the accident."

How do they get the deer to breathe into the breathalyzer?

  WannaBe: Flakers won a game on the road, in Dallas, let's examine the box-score: http://scores.espn.go.com/nba/boxsc...

Kobe took only 11 shots, 11!! Here is someone who would put up 11 shots in one quarter!

D. Howard was much more involved, attempted 11 shots, made 5, and made 5 of 9 free throws.

Nov-25-12  Jim Bartle: That is a fascinating box score in many ways.

No Laker took more than 11 shots. Including Kobe, as noted.

The Marv starting lineup scored 31 points. Gotta be a record for the past few years.

Nowitzki didn't play.

The starting Dallas backcourt shot 6-25.

Elton Brand, who I was sure would become a major star when came out of Duke, scored 0 points with 4 rebonds and 3 assists.

Who is Darius Morris, and how does he feel starting alongside Kobe, Gasol, Howard and the mental patient?

Nov-25-12  hangingenprise: wannabe: ok coliseum and they still lost, but not that bad and lame lane will be back next year. after that who knows. ucla lost its game. i can see why, they did not what to play oregon. what mediocre team from the big whatever will play in the rose bowl? it should be oregon and kansas state, or georgia, or alabama ect. to be interesting!
Nov-25-12  hangingenprise: of the major bowl games the rose bowl will be the boring-est! sad!!

  WannaBe: <hangingenprise> The Rose Bowl will 'feature' the winner of Nebraska-Wisconsin* vs. UCLA-Stanford.

*Ohio and Penn State are not post-season eligible, so Wisconsin is the next 'winner'.

Kinda like last year when UCLA won the Pac-12 South.

Nov-25-12  hangingenprise: wannabe: mora will have ucla ready to play! i would like to see wisconsin, because i never cared for nebraska football or for woody hays ohio state for that matter. penn state sigh! destroyed. i know it has been hashed to death but how does an athletic assistant in excellent condition sees an sexual incident and not stop it!!

  WannaBe: Wow, what a weekend, football team lost to Stanford, just now, UCLA basketball team lost to California Polytechnic San Luis Obispo (a.k.a. Cal Poly SLO) at home, in the Pavillion. An unranked team. AT HOME!!

This comes after losing in New York to an unranked Georgetown. But have no fear, Cal State Northridge comes into town on Thursday, that'll probably be a prelude to the UCLA-Stanford Pac-12 Championship Game.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrr....

Nov-28-12  morfishine: Thanks <Wannabe> for trying to help: I tried the exact idea you had: take a random game and past the PGN to another game

Turns out its the Browser, according to Ms. Alekhine (I use Mozilla and the copy paste PGN only works on IE)...but I opened an IE browser, and it still doesn't work...weird

  WannaBe: <morfishine> If you wish, I can help, but I need details, what version of IE, have you changed any settings? (Tools->Internet Option) etc...

The other method, is to download a free chess GUI/software.

  OhioChessFan: Missing 20 free throws is a problem.
Nov-28-12  Jim Bartle: If you've got a star player like Shaq or Howard who can't be counted on to make free throws, that's a huge problem. Sometimes you can't even let the guy play toward the end of close games.

Howard went 3-12 last night. That means the defender will just grab him every time he has the advantage for an easy shot.

Way back in the mists of time when the Warriors won the title in 1975, they had two centers of about equal ability (or lack of ability), Clifford Ray and George Johnson. They were zeroes offensively but good defensively, plus they could foul the opponent's center or big forward 12 times each night. Which they often did, sending Kareem, Lanier and Haywood to the line over and over. They would have done it to Cowens as well, but he was too quick and took outside shots in any case.
