< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 220 OF 451 ·  Later Kibitzing> Aug-09-21    MissScarlett: I don't like to ask but does <stevemcd87> still work here? Aug-09-21    Susan Freeman: OF course he does. 24/7. Me thinks you worry to much <Missy> Sargon does not. But that is a thing better saved for the Federal Courts. Aug-09-21    MissScarlett: Why then does he keep counsel for ten whole days? Aug-09-21    Z4all: <Willber G.> pegs it. They don't call it <kudzu> for nothing. Aug-09-21    saffuna: <jfq> I misread your post. I apologize. Aug-09-21    Susan Freeman: <Miss> I do t understand the keeping counsel. Aug-09-21    Susan Freeman: <for absolutely no reason except for self-aggrandizement and self-gratification.> Good definition. :) Aug-10-21    jessicafischerqueen: <Susan> "keeping counsel" means "not saying anything." So <MissScarlett> is worried that <Stephen> has not posted any updates for the last 10 days. I would also like to hear from <Stephen> on the update/fixes status when he gets a chance. Aug-10-21    jessicafischerqueen: <Susan> this one also from <MissScarlett> means the same thing: chessgames.com chessforum (kibitz #36508) <his first task ought to be to reinvest <steve> with the power of speech.> Here <MissScarlett> means that <beatgiant's> first job should be getting <Steve> to give us an update on his work. ============= However, you are in good company. As a Canadian, it never fails to amaze me how poorly the <English> speak their own language! Scientific proof: Here is <MissScarlett's> grammar school teacher giving a lesson on football (soccer): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDa... Aug-10-21    Susan Freeman: <Jess>. Many thanks for the clarification. Here it has legal implications. Steve is traveling and still keeping in touch. I will soon be in Ireland but I will have internet. Apparently run by a donkey in the back quarters on a wheel with a carrot. Out by the stables. Aug-10-21    saffuna: <...I will have internet. Apparently run by a donkey in the back quarters on a wheel with a carrot.> Reminds me of the investor in "The Big Short" making deals shorting mortgage bonds in 2007, using the spotty Wifi in a pub in an English village. While the regular patrons were haranguing him. Aug-10-21    Susan Freeman: You got that right lol Aug-10-21    jessicafischerqueen: <Jim> I thought "The Big Short" was a superb movie. One of the best I've seen in years. Aug-10-21    MissScarlett: If only you'd accepted Nigel's invitation to your hotel room. Aug-11-21    jessicafischerqueen: <MissScarlett> heh... you know I find myself thinking the same thing more and more these days... Aug-11-21    nok: yikes Aug-11-21    Z truth 000000001: Too much latitude for that attitude, I'd rather gratitude for the solitude. Aug-11-21    MissScarlett: The expression that comes to mind - <creepy ass cracker>. Aug-11-21    OhioChessFan: Analysis lab is flaky, no big deal, but the error message concerns me, per the capital letters creating White pieces on Black's back rank that I'm not inputting. If the error message isn't case sensitive, then this is a Nothing Burger. INVALID MOVE ( click for larger view ) - PLEASE TRY AGAIN Aug-15-21    kingscrusher: Hi Guys I noticed an issue and maybe a suggestion for the computer analysis pages e.g. Morphy vs Maurian, 1866 [analysis] Here actually at move 13 the computer suggests Nc3 - but this was an odds game and it seems the computer analysis assumed Morphy had all the pieces at the start. There was no knight to move to c3 See: Morphy vs Maurian, 1866 On a wider note though, I wonder if it is possible to update this view of the game to make the computer move analysis all clickable at some point - I think would help others appreciate the analysis more. Cheers, K Aug-16-21    Check It Out: Yo <CG>, if you act now you could get the Sinquefield Cup page up in time for round 1 tomorrow! https://grandchesstour.org/2021-gra... Aug-16-21    MissScarlett: Is <Stonehenge> on holiday, too? If so, forget it. Aug-17-21    Stonehenge: I'm still here: Sinquefield Cup (2021) Aug-17-21    MissScarlett: Where’s the St. Louis Rapid & Blitz then? Aug-17-21    Check It Out: Yes, that rapid Shankland game against Mamedyrov is an insta-classic.
