Jan-20-26 Chessgames - Sports    WannaBe: <keypusher> In a nutshell, Monte Carlo simulation is used in insurance, life, auto, home <A LOT>. It is also used in retirement simulation, e.g. how much saving you already have, male/female life expectancy, expected returning and amount withdrawn each year. Also some ...      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 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.

< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 84 OF 750 ·  Later Kibitzing> Mar-21-06    sitzkrieg: <RT> For the record; I am not being defensive, i was not even responding to the accusations here. I just stated the fact that we were being accused. I almost forgot it again already, but my post here < sitzkrieg: New developments on the <metoplay> page. We are now also being accused of cheating..> was referring to Hitman, who explecitely said just that. Your response of <You are one of those types that builds self-esteem by cherry-picking and exaggerating? Aren't you also the guy who thinks the Bush Administration is being honest? I never directly accused you, or your team of cheating -- just that it is common sense that out of a group of 10 - 13 people, there are going to be occasions when a one or two of those players are going to succumb to the temptation of once or twice sneaking a peak. I doubt <hitman84> is the only one -- but that is not accusing any one person or team -- yet you try to make it appear that way. Kind sir, you have a fragile ego. And your excessive defensive does begin to give some cause for suspicion. Though I sincerely doubt it. :-) > is, seen in that light, a little weird. Mar-21-06    sitzkrieg: Anyway, we better drop the subject, for otherwise I think Hitman might leave this site and there is no need for that. Mar-21-06    RolandTesh: sitzkrieg> <... was referring to Hitman, who explecitely said just that.> I'll accept that, assuming you were referring to <hitman84> claim that he can demonstrate that other player's anaysis follows that of Fritz, including players on your team. And you know what, I wouldn't be surprised if he can -- on your team, or his team, or any player on any team anywhere. If you were not referring to me, then can I make one suggestion -- your English is very good, but in any language you need to be specific enough so that others know what you are referring to. Your derisive post was so generic that anyone involved in the previous conversation might assume you are referring to them -- and react. BTW, since your English is truly very good, and you are clearly an intelligent person, I expect you will take this in the good spirit it is intended -- the correct spelling is "explicitly." Mar-21-06    sitzkrieg: Thanks for the correction. I tought Hitman said something more about our team, but it is not important. Mar-21-06    you vs yourself: <WannaBe> My school ends on May 5. Can you please start the tournament so that most of the students here finish their final exams? Thanks Mar-21-06    Robin01: <WannaBe> I have register at queenalice. So what do we do next? What time controls do we use. I really prefer a slower game. Mar-21-06    WannaBe: <Robin01> What's your name there? I can't find a Robin01 there. Mar-21-06    WannaBe: <Robin01> On the left hand side, click on Member List, or http://www.queenalice.com/members.php and my name there is the same as here. Then you can challenge me to a game. Put my name in the filter, enter, then click on challenge and you can enter the time control. (I'm playing black.) Mar-21-06    Robin01: Well, I thought I registered. I'll go check it out again. Mar-21-06    Robin01: I sent them an e-mail to see what is going on. For some reason I cannot get on the site. Mar-21-06    WannaBe: <Robin01> I am currently on the site, and it seems to be working for me. Take your time. Mar-21-06    WannaBe: <Robin01> I believe, on queenalice, after your initial sign up, you have to receive an e-mail from them. Then click on the link + supplied password to confirm. You can then change the password later. Mar-22-06    Cogano: Hello again <WannaBe> & I sincerely hope this finds you well. Sorry to trouble you about this, but are you by any chance registered on gameknot.com under the same username as here? Thanks much in advance for clarifying this. Take very good care & have a great day. Mar-22-06    Robin01: <WannaBe> I am on and have made a move. Mar-22-06    Cogano: Hello again <WannaBe> & I sincerely hope this finds you well. Sorry to bother you again. I just searched for you on QA to add you to my buddy list there. Except the system found no one by the name of "WannaBe". I tried searching the member list (all 21 pages!) & still couldn't find your name. Did you change your name? Or am I doing something wrong? Thanks much for your help. Take very good care & have a great day. Mar-22-06    Robin01: <WannaBe> I assume we are playing by the rules of using only our brains and no outside sources? I prefer that. Let me know what you would prefer. Mar-22-06    Robin01: <WannaBe> Also, for your planning purposes, the majority of my moves will be made in the evening hours, except maybe on the weekends. Mar-22-06    Cogano: Hello again <WannaBe> & I sincerely hope this finds you well. I'm SURE that you're now quite thoroughly prepared to kill me, which would be quite justified & understandable. Though, I'd really appreciate your further patience. I'm trying to find both you & <Robin01> on queenalice, but without success. Would you please help? I tried invite a friend, which I obviously couldn't do without knowing the person's name & e-mail address. I tried finding & suggesting an opponent, but could find either of you in the 2 lists there. I tried the member list & who is here, but no luck there either. What am I doing wrong? What am I supposed to do. Thank you most kindly for your anticipated & continued patience, tolerance, undrestanding, consideration & assistance. Take very good care & have a great day. Mar-22-06    WannaBe: <Cogano> I am WannaBe on QA, WannaBeCG on GK. On left hand side of QueenAlice, go to memberlist (under community) and you can type my name in. So far everyone in the corrsp. tourn. has found me, and so did <Robin01>. <Robin01> Made my reply move, take your time, I'm not gonna go anywhere, and yes. Our own grey/gray cells only. Mar-22-06    Cogano: Hello again <WannaBe> & I sincerely hope this finds you well. Thank you so much for that. I wonder what happened. I tried just that before but the system always told me that there were no such players. Only now when I tried it again it worked. It must be your magic touch! I'm impressed! From now on, I'm turning to you for good luck & charms! Thanks much again. Take very good care & have a great day. Mar-22-06    EmperorAtahualpa: <FICS> Here is a new name for you to add to the list: User: marekg248 = "WoodWalker" on FICS Mar-22-06    Cogano: Hello again <Emperor> & I sincerely hope this finds you well. Say, what list, if you don't mind my asking? Am I already on it? Should I be on it? Could I get on it? Thanks much. Take very good care my friend & have a great day. Mar-22-06    EmperorAtahualpa: <Cogano> Here is the list I was talking about: User: FICS I was posting the message in this forum because <WannaBe> is the list-keeper. Do you play on FICS? You should definitely try it! http://www.freechess.org Mar-22-06    WannaBe: woodwalker, I like it. Very much! Mar-22-06    EmperorAtahualpa: <WannaBe> I just read about the FICS open.
