Jan-24-26 Tata Steel Challengers (2026)    WannaBe: Personally I am surprised (or shocked) that L'Ami and Ivanchuk are playing in this section of the tournament.      Jan-23-26 Chessgames - Politics    WannaBe: See, if you defund the police, this would not have happened... https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles...      Jan-23-26 Chessgames - Sports    WannaBe: I remember when so-and-so (e.g. Troy Aikman) transfers from one school to another (different conference), you sit out a year. If you transfer within conference, it's two years.

< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 50 OF 750 ·  Later Kibitzing> Feb-09-06    Robin01: I believe 30...Qd6 is our best move here, so I will cast my vote as such. Feb-09-06    Robin01: Again, if you find something better, please change my vote accordingly. I will probably not get home tonight until after the time deadline, so I will not have a chance to analyze the position anymore before we have to make our move. Feb-09-06    RonB52734: I vote for 30...Qd6. Just over two hours to go, now. Feb-09-06    blingice: I set up a list of <verywellisms> in my forum. Go ahead and add some. Feb-09-06    WannaBe: I'm following <RonB52734>. Feb-09-06    blingice: <WannaBe> Did you not understand that latest comment in the Korchnoi vs. Seirawan game either? Feb-09-06    WannaBe: <blingice> Yes, unfortunately, don't know what that means as far as my/his thinking process. LOL. Read my post on that page. (following yours...) Feb-09-06    blingice: I think its the funniest thing ever that on one thread he tried to break down the word "kibitz" to it's etymological roots (in Russian, according to him) and intends to speak French yet comes out with a still poorly spelled English phrase. Feb-09-06    RonB52734: Ok, we're down to 30 minutes, I'm going to bed, we have 3 votes for Qd6. I'm posting it. Feb-10-06    Robin01: Well, by the time I got on last night, everybody had went to bed. I see all is quiet this morning. Feb-10-06    WannaBe: Okie, 31. Bc5 played. click for larger view Feb-10-06    RonB52734: They have played 31.Bc5 click for larger view As I see it, this forces 31...Qxc5+ 32.Rxc5 Bxc5+. (Diagram) click for larger view It seems here that white moves the king to escape check, probably to h1, and then we need to protect g7. We also have to be wary of something like 34.Qe5, which would fork our bishops. 33...Bd4 might fit the bill. Feb-10-06    Robin01: I looked at this a few days ago, and I thought 33...Bf8 might be a better move for us, but we definitely need to take a long look at this. Feb-10-06    Robin01: I'll have to analyze it tonight, as I have no time at work. Feb-10-06    RonB52734: Yeah, we certainly don't have to decide on move 33 tonight. However, I will definitely not be available from about 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. tomorrow to even get online, so someone else is going to have to post our move tomorrow. As for move 31, I vote 31...Qxc5+ Feb-10-06    WannaBe: <RonB52734> Do you want to appoint someone to make the move tomorrow? Or just as time get close, who is on go ahead and post the move? Now, is there a way to not lose the queen? I'm gonna take a look at this later. Feb-10-06    RonB52734: Will you be available to be online at that time tomorrow, to tally the votes and post the move? Feb-10-06    WannaBe: your vish ees ma command... Feb-10-06    RonB52734: Ok, then you are my deputy! Feb-10-06    Robin01: Deputy Dawg, Deputy Dawg, Muskie the Muskrat and Vincent Van Gopher need to be chased out of the chicken coops and melon patches again!:) Feb-10-06    sitzkrieg: <As I see it, this forces 31...Qxc5+ 32.Rxc5 Bxc5+. > I see it too. So i vote Qc5! and subsequently Bc5. Come on team, we will defend this! Feb-10-06    Robin01: It looks like we have a good chance to defend this. Feb-10-06    Robin01: <As I see it, this forces 31...Qxc5+ 32.Rxc5 Bxc5+.> I believe you are correct. However, lets take our time making our moves, so we have a lot more time to analyze the position after 32...Bxc5+. We need be in no hurry. Feb-10-06    Robin01: So my vote is also for 31...Qxc5+ Feb-10-06    RonB52734: With a brief moment online, I agree with everything Robin has just said. I think our position is quite playable here. But let's take our time. <WannaBe>, you are still deppity dawg! Jump to page #   (enter # from 1 to 750) search thread:    < Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 50 OF 750 ·  Later Kibitzing>
