| Jul-09-19 | | thegoodanarchist: <Count Wedgemore: <WannaBe> I don't know when he said this, but the player he referred to was probably Emanuel Lasker.> You're right, <CW>, it was Em. Lasker. I read it in Fischer's article about the 10 best chess players of all time. Tarrasch was one of the ten, as were Spassky and Tal. |
|
| Jul-09-19 | | thegoodanarchist: At least, I think that's where I read it. Was a long time ago. |

Why hasn't California made earthquakes illegal, yet?> Disaster relief dollars. |
|
| Jul-10-19 | | diceman: <thegoodanarchist: At least, I think that's where I read it. Was a long time ago.> Looks like it was related to Lasker and
Botvinnik(and any other long-term champ)
Which is why Fischer used <a man> vs naming the player. http://www.chesshistory.com/winter/... |

|
| Aug-02-19 | | Count Wedgemore: American Football is surely a much better cure for insomnia. I mean, 10-15 seconds of action, then 1-2 minutes break in the play. Then the action commences again..for up to 10 seconds!! Then a break in the play..after a minute or two, we'll have 10 more seconds of action!! Yuhuu!! Then..a commercial break for the next five minutes. Then.. Yep, by now I'd sleep like a baby. |

| | WannaBe: Both Pliny the younger and elder are real beer, they tend to sell out quick(ly) as both are popular in NorCal. Great to see Pearls give a shout-out to Russian River (Yes, it's a real place in NorCal) breweries!! https://www.gocomics.com/pearlsbefo... |

Then the action commences again..for up to 10 seconds!! > The breaks in the action in chess last much longer, sometimes up to an hour or more. Yet you still watch? The breaks in football are not usually 1-2 minutes. The play clock is only 40 seconds. |

When a 300+ pound guy hits you, you'll probably feel like you put in more than an 8-hour day. :) |

| Sep-13-19 | | technical draw: Hello my good friend <WannaBe>! Have you noticed that the New York Yankees are on a pace to win 100 games and the American League Pennant? But do not despair! Your LA Dodgers are also on pace to win 100 games! Let's hope for a Yankees/Dodgers world series. That would be awesome. Cheers my good friend and cheers to all my friends here at chessgames. |
