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

  chancho: I think I already mentioned this a while back.

When I use the Search Chessgames.com Kibitzing feature, it shows me a box with names of previous searches.

I type a word and the list disappears, but upon clicking on the box with the new word, the damn list pops up again.

I right click to get rid of it, and another box appears which I right click and that box also disappears.

I now just click on the box without writing anything on it, and it sends me to another page also named chessgames.com search kibitzing with a hand holding a magnifying glass.

I can type whatever on that box and no pop ups.

This crap was not happening years ago.

  WannaBe: Latest java 8 update 191 works good with CVD II

=)

Oct-17-18  Boomie: <WannaBe: Latest java 8 update...>

Makes you wonder when Microbeast is going to stop its idiot war against Oracle. I mean if there was any serious problem with Java security, the whole world would implode. Why don't they have the cohones to admit that this is just a tantrum because Oracle crushed them in databases?

  WannaBe: I can't wait for "Bohemian Rhapsody" movie on Queen.

Big fan of them...

Oct-21-18  SugarDom: I can play the guitar riff of that song on a midi controller.
Oct-21-18  Keyser Soze: <wannabe> You might like the book " Somebody to Love: The Life, Death and Legacy of Freddie Mercury".

Just read fews months ago. Very focused on his illness, and how affected him, showing basically that he fought against the disease since half of his career (since around 82). Tough but nice reading.

  WannaBe: To <Open Defence>:

Since you introduced me to the Christopher Walken video of Weapon of Choice, I found this one.

It may not be very recent, but I just want to return the favour and share it.
