Jan-20-26 WannaBe chessforum   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 ...      Jan-20-26 Chessgames - Sports    WannaBe: <perfidious> Probability and Statistics was a course required to obtain a degree in mathmatics and also computer science. Either one course or multiple courses. This led me into the fascination of how a non-predictable outcome can be quantified and an odd be established. ...      Jan-20-26 Hort vs de Firmian, 1986   WannaBe: <Breunor> Good question, I ran this game through the computer game analysis and: 31...Kg6 32.Bxa7 Bc4 33.Nd5 Nc6 34.Bc5 Ne5 35.Ke3 Bf1 36.Bd4 ⩱ +0.87 (41 ply) Possibly white was low on time and don't want to risk the chance to reaching move 40      Jan-19-26 R Toran vs M Valls Tona, 1948    WannaBe: Well, if you play f4, there is mate in 250...      Jan-16-26 Chessgames - Politics    WannaBe: Zed's dead. Zed's dead. (if one is to go down the 'Pulp Fiction' path) "That is A tasty burger!!"      Jan-14-26 Chessgames - Odd Lie    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.      Jan-14-26 Dickson    WannaBe: Apparently, it was a "far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to than I have ever known"      Jan-12-26 Fischer vs V Pupols, 1955    WannaBe: I was thinking baseball bat, tire iron, or brass knuckles.      Jan-11-26 Tata Steel Masters (2026)    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      Jan-06-26 Atterdag chessforum    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.

< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 667 OF 750 ·  Later Kibitzing> Sep-14-19    Boomie: -> We got our baby back, baby back, baby back, ribs. Sep-14-19    WannaBe: Hello <TD>, good to hear from you. Hope all is well and please stop by more often(er)!! Sep-20-19    technical draw: Crazy situation in Israel these days. The elections far from mending fences have made the fences harder to mend. The surprise showing of the Arab joint list will twelve or thirteen seats make it the largest party after Netanyahu's Likud and Benny Gantz's Blue and White. Right now the BW have 33 seats to Likud's 31. However Benny Gantz is adamant against forming a government with Netanyahu. That means that Netanyahu's idea of a broad right leaning coalition is almost dead. Netanyahu will have to convince Yamina, Israel Beiteinu which is Avigdor Liberman's party and some of the lessor parties to form a coalition. The danger is that Gantz will probably make a deal with the Joint Arab list and that will be the end of Israeli progress. Dangerous times ahead for Israel.

That is not a break, IMO. Sep-28-19    thegoodanarchist: < paavoh: <The breaks in the action in chess last much longer, sometimes up to an hour or more. Yet you still watch?> Most of chess action is in calculating the variations. That is not a break, IMO.> That isn't a legitimate criticism because a similar argument can be made for football. In fact, the argument for football is <better>, because the calculation of chess variations is not observable (it's all in your head) yet the activity involved in getting the next play called <is> observable.

Oct-08-19    WannaBe: In a (group) Darwin Award... 4 drowned in India, include the bride and members of the immediate family when they fell into a dam while attempting to take a selfie. Google it if you dont believe me. =) Oct-09-19    technical draw: Yankees in. Dodgers need to win! Oct-10-19    technical draw: Sorry, <WannaBe>. Oct-10-19    WannaBe: ALL your fault. <TD>!! =)) Oct-12-19    technical draw: Um, excuse me but I think the Yankees just won their first game against the Astros. I'm not sure, uh, let me check. Yes, confirmed. Yankees shut out the Astros 7-0. Thank you <WannaBe> for being an honorary Yankee by letting me use your forum for informational purposes only. Oct-13-19    technical draw: If the Yankees win the world series I'm bringing back the baby. Oct-17-19    playground player: <WannaBe> I must appeal again to your expertise,if you don't mind. One of my regular blog readers says she suddenly can't comment there, she says "everything has changed," including her Wordpress avatar. I checked to see if she wound up in my spam folder, but it's currently empty. I'd give you more details, only I don't have any. It's also hard for me to pose questions properly because I'm so ignorant about computers. All I know is she can't post comments anymore and she says the whole page "looks different." But at my end, nothing has changed so I can't figure out what she's talking about. Thank you in advance! Oct-19-19    WannaBe: This is way tooooooo funny!!! https://finance.yahoo.com/news/equi...
