ARCHIVED POSTS < Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 556 OF 1118 ·  Later Kibitzing> Sep-08-12    virginmind: <chessgames.com> please make the correction on nisipeanu page: it says highest ranking 2667, when in fact he was 2707 elo in october 2005 rating list. thank you. Sep-08-12    chessgames.com: Sure, plus that fellow needs a photograph: Liviu Dieter Nisipeanu. Thx Sep-08-12    Annie K.: OK then, I matched that with an audio. ;) Sep-08-12    chessgames.com: <Stonehenge: ... Perhaps you can make it so that the player name in the link is always readable, for aesthetic reasons?> That bug is noted. Sep-08-12    chessgames.com: <Annie> Thanks, that's a good one to have! Sep-11-12    twinlark: Nice photo of Phiona Mutesi. It's like a picture essay. Sep-11-12    rapidcitychess: Hey <chessgames.com>. Random suggestion here, but what if we had a Chess Games GM Challenge with FischerRandom instead? I think it would be really cool; It would be an excellent entry for the variant as well. Sep-12-12    chessgames.com: <Random suggestion> In more ways than one :-) No seriously, it's a great idea and we want to do it. To our knowledge it would be a first in the world of chess. I believe that GM Akobian has spoken favorably of Fischerandom (or Chess960 if you prefer), as well as Natalia Pogonina, and our old friend and adversary Arno Nickel can even be seen playing Fischerandom in the photo on his page. Sep-12-12    Tomlinsky: <rapidcitychess> Great minds think alike! Or is it fools seldom differ? The very same thought fired and you beat me to it. Anyway, may I second your suggestion and think that it is the way forward in this type of format for both sides to show who is 'understanding' the game better. Sep-13-12    rapidcitychess: <Tomlinsky> You have my permission to agree with me. :) <chessgames.com> I personally think it would be really cool to bring back Arno. Sep-13-12    The Last Straw: Is chessbookforum chessforum run by the moderators? Sep-13-12    chessgames.com: No, that's the work of JessicaFischerQueen / hms123 just like it says at top. Sep-14-12    Blunderdome: Hou Yifan needs a new picture. In the past, nothing, including outright begging, has gotten your attention on this, so I'm not sure why I'm bothering ;) Sep-14-12    chessgames.com: Well, the last time we were asked the only other photo we could find that was in the public domain was positively awful. (An awful photograph, Yifan of course was pretty as ever.) Recently however it seems that Wikimedia Commons has been flooded by some Hou photos including one taken just a few weeks ago in Istanbul. We'll select one and replace the older one. Sep-14-12    Annie K.: <taken just a few weeks ago in Istanbul> ... not Constantinople... (sorry, I can never resist that one!) ;s That's great news. :D Sep-14-12    Robed.Bishop: Ah, a "They Might Be Giants" fan... Sep-14-12    Annie K.: Just that one song... it's incredibly catchy. :D Sep-14-12    chessgames.com: Any band that mentions Ruy Lopez in a song can't be all that bad! http://tmbw.net/wiki/Lyrics:Rest_Aw... Shucks, there goes a Christmas Clue ;-) Sep-14-12    Annie K.: Never heard of that song! Impressed. ;) Sep-14-12    hms123: <<Robed.Bishop> It was a little earlier than that: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vank... The Four Lads, 1953 Sep-14-12    Shams: <hms123> I had no idea that was a cover, thanks. The song is so of a piece with TMBG's sound, it seemed a cinch they wrote it. Sep-14-12    hms123: <Shams> It helps to be old enough to have heard this in old movies the first time around. hms<older than dirt>123 Sep-14-12    Annie K.: Well, this has been educational! :) Sep-14-12    Robed.Bishop: <hms123> I pulled my reference off the top of my head. Like <Shams>, I had no idea it was a cover. Thanks for the information. Sep-15-12    Karpova: <chessgames.com> I want to draw your attention to this player page Lionel Adalbert Bagration Felix Kieseritsky which has sadly been abused for discussing WWII.
