Feb-08-17    diceman: <OhioChessFan: "The hardest game to win is the one I'm playing."> The easiest game to win is the one I'm defending. Feb-08-17    diceman: Fortunately a horrible loss scores exactly like a brilliant slip. Feb-08-17    diceman: Between the opening and a decisive result the chess gods have placed the draw. Feb-08-17    diceman: <"Chess is the gymnasium of the mind"> With emphasis on the Pommel Knight! Feb-08-17    diceman: One can always avoid being outplayed by losing on time. Feb-08-17    diceman: <Tactics flow from a superior position.> Checkmates flow from inferior positions. Feb-08-17    zanzibar: Some of these recent quotes make me think of players who have been around the block enough times to get a little jaded, maybe. Feb-08-17    zanzibar: RE: superfluous king moves at the end of the game... I think some of these continuations are a fiction of the DGT recording device - when one or the other king gets pushed a square or two aside after the game is over. Are all the example games with these extra king moves from recent tournaments? I would hazard yes. . Feb-08-17    WannaBe: How does one annotate a King being thrown across the room? Kz8 (??) Feb-08-17    zanzibar: <WannaBe> I believe <NSOCAT> is the standard notation... Nimzo-stands-on-chair-and-throws . Feb-08-17    diceman: <WannaBe: How does one annotate a King being thrown across the room? Kz8 (??)> K---atr atr=Across the room. Obviously if the King lands on another board you would use the square it lands on, K---atr(d4). You would need to throw again if the King lands in check. Feb-08-17    diceman: <zanzibar: Some of these recent quotes make me think of players who have been around the block enough times to get a little jaded, maybe.> Get this man some rose colored glasses. Feb-08-17    zanzibar: <Get this man some rose colored glasses.> That's the only kind I got! BTW- It should be Alekhine for the throwing part - although I think I got the standing on a chair part right as concern Nimzo. Conflated apologies to each.
