P.S.: For all Canadians who want to kill me now or simply stone me to death, I know, I have it comin' ... :-) |

| Oct-21-08 | | hms123: <jess> As we say down south--"Ya done good" today. |

| Oct-21-08 | | WBP: There's something vishy going on in this World Championship match. |

House: I've got to point out that you are speaking about your penis in the third person. Patient: Well, he and I don't always get along.
House: Have you tried separate vacations? |

| Oct-21-08 | | WBP: <Niels> Here is the long-awaited solution. Here's the position (S. Tinsley v W.H.K. Pollock, London, October 18, 1883), to refresh your memory. Black to play:  click for larger view16...Rxb3 17 cxb3 Nd3 18 Qg2 Nb4+ 19 Kai Nc2+ 20 Kb1 Bd3 21 Kc1 Ba3 22 Nb1 Qc5 23 Bxa3 Nxa3+ 24 Kb2 Nxb1 (24...Qxc2+) 25 Rxb1 Qc2+ 26 Ka3 Qxb1 27 Ne2 Qc2 28 Nd4 Qc5+ 29 Ka2 Rb8 30 Qg1 Qb4 31 Qc1 Bc4 32 Qc2 Qxa4+ and wins. Pretty fantastic, no?
Hello, <Jess>!! Sorry to invade your house with this, but <Neils's> place is involved in the big World vs. An Old Nickel bout. |

 | | jessicafischerqueen: <Elephant of the Woody Wood Pusher Board preference> AMEN!
Everything fine here... <Anand> has utilized almost all of the "suggestions" I emailed him this year about how to prepare for the Match. And it's really paying off for him. |

 | | jessicafischerqueen: <Spaniel of Heaven> Thanks for the WWII help! Also, thanks to you I recovered my WWII header. I believe some "peaceniks" hacked in here and changed it... (I suspect Boomie).
On a related note, I did a brief "family tree" search on your behalf and discovered you are related to the <Long Island FroggenFarbens>! Amazing. |

| Oct-22-08 | | Boomie: <Minor AdJessment:

If you're going to Boomie's kitchen,
be sure to wear some flour in your hair.
So what was the final word on the tank question?
During the late devouring era, our gang, the United Surrealists, had a Volvo tank. We cut a hole above the rear view mirror and mounted a sawed-off shotgun. Ah, those were heady days! I mean peace, love and understanding is all well and good but when you register a shotgun, people listen up. |

| Oct-22-08 | | Boomie: <Little Miss Danger Jess> My favorite college cheer. “Fly” Williams, one of the all time great college basketball players, went to little Austin Peay and took them to the show both years he was there. The fans constructed a chant that went:
"Fly's open! Fly's open! Let's go Peay!" |

 | | jessicafischerqueen: Yes, the <PanzerkampfwagenVolvo Mark IV> was indeed one of the most fearsome tanks in the <Battle of Berkeley>, as any historian or crank will confirm. Unfortunately, Sarah (I'm a loudmouthed insane egomaniac) Palin has accused Saddam Hussein Barack Osama Bin Laden of "fraternizing" with you during the 60s, although he was only five at the time. But the facts never get in Sarah (I'm in favor of shooting wolves from helicopters) Palin's way. That's why she is such a good choice for Vice President of Dog Catching in Fairbanks. <Peay>
Wouldn't that be pronounced "Peh Ayyy"?
French fellow, was he?

| Oct-22-08 | | Woody Wood Pusher: <Everything fine here... <Anand> has utilized almost all of the "suggestions" I emailed him this year about how to prepare for the Match.> better hope the KGB don't find out <JFQ>, I mean, look what happened to Trotsky! |
|
Oct-22-08
 | | jessicafischerqueen: <The Way of the Wood> I'm not worried. <Trotsky> just fell in with a "bad crowd" in Tijuana. He got mixed up in the rackets and got what was coming to him. |
|
| Oct-22-08 | | Woody Wood Pusher: <He got mixed up in the rackets> Yep, and an Ice-Pick got mixed up in him.
Mixed up in his brains...yuck, his cool head didn't save him that time. |
|
Oct-22-08
 | | jessicafischerqueen: He was one of the "good" pigs in <Animal Farm>. |
|
| Oct-22-08 | | WBP: And he could dance. He invented the Fox Trotsky. |
|
| Oct-22-08 | | Woody Wood Pusher: Oh so he was....that story is so sad, what was the horse called that worked himself to death and was sold to make soap? It's been a long time since I read it. |
|
| Oct-22-08 | | Eyal: Boxer (and "Trotsky" is Snowball). |
|
| Oct-22-08 | | Eyal: His two maxims in life are "I will work harder" and "Napoleon is always right"... |
|
| Oct-22-08 | | Woody Wood Pusher: Thanks <Eyal>, I might go dig it out my loft and read it again now. |
|
| Oct-22-08 | | chessmoron: Thanks for the help. And terribly sorry for taking you minutes to study. |
|
| Oct-22-08 | | technical draw: Well I said my bit on the Fischer video now I'm outta here again. I really don't understand this forum. |

 | | Domdaniel: < His two maxims in life are "I will work harder" and "Napoleon is always right"...> Funny, that. Somebody with similar maxims called Jess a "witch" during one of the live WC games. Probably another of those disappointed-in-lurv guys. <Jess> So, will Anand play L'Ouverture Anglaise now? I know, back to work on the Roc-face, stop nattering, a pint of plain is completely out of the question. Very well, yer majesty, I comply. |
|
| Oct-22-08 | | Woody Wood Pusher: It seems Kramnik would have benefited from following at least one of those maxims during his match-preparation. I mean there is no way he would have underestimated Anand's Ne3!! if he had seen what those mighty steeds are capable of in the right hands! Napoleon Bonaparte vs Madame De Remusat, 1804 |
|
| Oct-22-08 | | Eyal: This guy also knew how to use his knights with Black - in fact, he invented the Alekhine Defense: Madame De Remusat vs Napoleon Bonaparte, 1802 |
