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simulation, e.g. how much saving you already have, male/female life expectancy, expected returning and amount withdrawn each year.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. 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...

< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 90 OF 750 ·  Later Kibitzing> Apr-20-06    EmperorAtahualpa: <Dark Horses> Please visit the me to play chessforum and tell me what you think of the notes that I intend to add to the PGN of our consultation game when I submit it to chessgames.com! What do you guys think about it? Apr-21-06    WannaBe: Yes!! I have a reason to continue living!! (At least until 2008 =) http://www.cnn.com/2006/SHOWBIZ/Mov... Apr-21-06    suenteus po 147: <WannaBe> I hate to ruin your reason to go on living, but it's going to be a bad movie. The last, actually GOOD Star Trek movie was the sixth one, and even that's debatable. I can already see them hunting downing Shatner and Nimoy lookalikes a la "Dumb and Dumberer." Apr-21-06    Open Defence: Can I audition for seven-of-nine ? :-D Apr-21-06    WannaBe: <sueteus po 147> That's alright, we got <Open Defence> playing 7 of 9!!! =) Apr-21-06    WannaBe: If the d@mned gas prices keep going up, I'm opening my own rickshaw business! And hire some illegal immigrants to run them. :-) Apr-21-06    EmperorAtahualpa: <WannaBe> I know another good reason to continue living! No matter how @#$%ty your life gets, there's always soccer! :) If the World Cup is over, you can start waiting for the next World Cup. :) By the way, this reminds me: There's only 48 days remaining for the World Cup to start! Perhaps it's time soon to start up the World Cup prediction contest? http://us.a1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/a... Apr-21-06    WannaBe: yeah, I'll post another announcement after I come back from San Francisco, in about 2.5 weeks. Apr-21-06    Chess Classics: Hey WannaBe, what's the format like at the American Open? Is their seating, or can you walk right up the boards? And are there other sections beside the open section? I ask because I'm at least going to watch, and maybe play, at the AO this year. And no more smart-alecky stuff, or I'll sign back on to my "Baseball Bat" account (see my forum for explanation.) :-) Regards, CC Apr-22-06    midknightblue: hello friends. i am at work. I dont feel good tonight. Sore throat, congestion. :( Apr-22-06    Open Defence: <world cup prediction> maybe England this time ? Wayne Rooney is a bloke with a lot of sand .. Apr-22-06    WannaBe: <Chess Classics> American Open have 6 sections http://www.uschess.org/msa/XtblMain... Open, U2000, U1800, U1600, U1400, and Unrated. You're coming to LA over Thanksgiving weekend to plaY? Because it is held over the 4 day weekend, and it is 8 games, Swiss System. You can play 2 games a day 40/2hr + 1 hr. or shortened 3 day where you play 4 gms on Friday and then 2 gms Sat & Sun. Playing 4 gms in one day really kills the brain cell. (which was what I did. and both my opponent and I on the 4th game agreed to an early draw so we can get the h#ll out of there and get a beer!) Let me know if you have more questions! And please leave the baseball bat at home!! :-) Apr-22-06    WannaBe: <Midknightblue> I hope you get and feel better! Apr-23-06    Chess Classics: I'm sorry, I confused the American Open with the U.S. Open :-) Apologies mate-U.S. Open is going to be held I believe near Chicago this year. Regards, CC Apr-24-06    WannaBe: <Chess Classics> http://www.uschess.org/tournaments/... 9 rounds, Swiss System, 40 moves/2 hrs + 1 hr sudden death. $125 entry fee (very reasonable). Good luck, if you decide to participate. =) Apr-24-06    Chess Classics: <WannaBe> I'm giving myself a side-ache. It was actually the National Open that I was talking about. (Really, I'm not joking :-)) But the US Open ain't a bad idea either. I'll look into these. Cheers mate! Regards, CC Apr-25-06    WannaBe: I've made it to N. Calif. (San Mateo). The drive took me about 7+ hours (including lunch), but I'm here. Apr-26-06    brankat: <Wannabe> If You were to make a U-turn now, I calculated (without a calculator), it would take You 7 hours (including supper) to get back, hehe. Apr-26-06    EmperorAtahualpa: <Dark Horses> Check this out: M Ronteltap / Allies vs R Barber / Allies, 2006 :) Apr-26-06    WannaBe: Can't kibitz much... too much stuff to do.. will check in occassionally. Apr-26-06    WannaBe: I'm not sure how legal this is, but the motel I'm in, doesn't have internet, but my wireless USB adaptor have picked up an open network. I'm piggy-backing off it, it could be the motel next door, or someone in/around the neighborhood... =) Apr-26-06    WannaBe: I seriously miss kibitzing and playing on FICS vs. my friends... =( Apr-26-06    WannaBe: <brankat> It was a nice drive. A lot of coastal scenes and then upper/middle California's countryside. Yes, I saw cows and horses. =) I am hoping to be back in my own bed in about 10 days... Apr-26-06    you vs yourself: We miss you too, <WannaBe>. But California is a nice place, I hear. Enjoy your vacation there! Apr-26-06    WannaBe: <you vs yourself> Vacation?! What are you talking about?!?! I'm here on business!!!! =) Seriously considering going and visiting the Mechanics Chess Club in SF. Only 22 miles drive (one way).
