| Oct-27-08 | | Eyal: <Jess> Yeah, you got it... here's the full game (where White apparently resigned right after 25.Ra1!): Shirov vs D Fridman, 2008 |
|
| Oct-27-08 | | hms123: <jess> thanks for the update, oh wise one.
Best,
Mr. Leaves No Trace |

 | | jessicafischerqueen: Nae worries <Howard Staunton>. It's all in a day's work for someone who didn't do any work at work today. (Instead I made a games collection and studied the "English Opening" in honor of your defeat of the cowardly Frenchman <Pierre St. Amant> in the world's first Chess Championship match) |

| Oct-27-08 | | Open Defence: I'm doing my bit by helping the Vodka industry |
|
| Oct-27-08 | | hms123: <OD> Do they have boilermakers over there? (Beer and a shot of Vodka mixed in--also known as a Depth Charge in my neck of the woods>) |
|
| Oct-27-08 | | Woody Wood Pusher: I'm pleased Kramnik won today, now I get to watch him fight even harder the next game, but all invain! Muhahahahaha! |

 | | Domdaniel: <it needed to be charged> We English tend to send for the *Light Brigade* at such moments ... "Rooks to the right of them ..." |

 | | Domdaniel: <Jess> In my English-playing days I held the belief that 3...Bc5 was a mistake. My plan as white involved playing a3, e3, g3, and d3 in no particular order, then Bg2 and 0-0, and eventually driving the blighter home with b4 or d4 or both. But no need to rush matters. |
|
| Oct-27-08 | | Woody Wood Pusher: <Dom> You pretty much just summed up my entire knowledge of the English. Nice. |
|
| Oct-27-08 | | Woody Wood Pusher: <JFQ> Do you think the pressure is getting to Anand? I certainly do. He made some really weak moves today IMO, Bg4 was horrible. If Kramnik pulls this one back...no the thought is too horrible to contemplate. Vishy will pull himself together. But just imagine the drama if Kramnik won with black next! Talk about not letting your opponent back in the game! If Anand lets Kramnik back into this match we might see man-tears at the end! |
|
| Oct-27-08 | | Woody Wood Pusher: I can't sleep, that game upset my day so I am spamming your forum to ease the pain. Funny how Krammy starts winning as soon as Bareev shows up... How could Vishy counter Bareev I wonder, maybe if he pulls out his Magnum! (I hear it has 2780 stopping power!) |

 | | jessicafischerqueen: <The Way of the Wood> Remember-
1. <water boils> at 100 degrees centigrade at sea level at a certain air pressure. 2. <Hannah Montana> is the worst TV show in history. 3. <GM Kramnik> cannot beat my five year old niece with the black pieces. There are "opinions," and then--
there are <FACTS>.
This is <The Way of the Wood>.. |
|
| Oct-27-08 | | Open Defence: <2. <Hannah Montana> is the worst TV show in history. > I'll have you know that me and my niece absolutely adore Hannah Montana,I know she will sue me for therapy money in 5 years time but what the hell |
|
Oct-27-08
 | | jessicafischerqueen: Well done <GM Kramnik> for finally manning up and playing like an ex-Champion. Too bad he will remain ex-champion after tonight when he loses with the Black pieces. I like the guy- don't get me wrong- but the "strategic decision" to not try to win with black for two years is <an insult to chess>. It's disgusting.
<GM Kramnik> is not disgusting. His "strategy" for the last two years is disgusting.
Just to be clear.

| Oct-27-08 | | Open Defence: congratulations on passing 17000 kibitzes, but I thought you passed 17K (as we Chess Playing Accountants say) last year! you been slowing down on us ???? |
|
Oct-28-08
 | | jessicafischerqueen: Thanks <Deffi>!!
Well maybe. Stupid full time job...
I want to be a chess player!!
A really mediocre one.
But gnats like to play too...
Quack |

| Oct-28-08 | | hms123: <OD> My 7-year-old granddaughter is enthralled by Hannah Montana as well. Besides, HM and her family live in Nashville. Nonethless, now that I have seen every show 17K times, I am no longer able to watch without running out of the room while screaming. |
|
| Oct-28-08 | | hms123: <jess> A medium <Rhea> is headed your way. |
|

 | | jessicafischerqueen: Did you know Hannah Montana is the boss of her Dad?
heh
She makes all the money so he has to do what she says. So far all he has to do is wash her Bentleys, but she's young yet. I sense trouble....
<Penguin> will march tomorrow-- much news in the BLOGOSPHERE.... The chatter indicates we may have to go undercover soon. I suggest we adopt "Hobbit names" for the job.
<Eyal> has the "normal name" to "hobbit name" converter web link somewhere, so we'll have to wait a bit. In the meantime, I counsel keeping a very low profile. Inspector Tiger |
|
| Oct-28-08 | | Eyal: Hannah Montana = Belladonna Goldworthy of Michel Delving Inspector Tiger = Griffo Burrows
|
|
| Oct-28-08 | | hms123: <jess> The hobbit names were in your closet:

 | | Domdaniel: <Inspector Tiger = Griffo Burrows >
What happens if you then feed 'Griffo Burrows' to the <Hobbitry Machine>? Does it spit back 'Inspector Tiger', forming a closed spacelike loop? Or stay stuck on Griffo forever? Or could it keep churning out meta-meta-hobbit names until, I dunno, they get silly. Or something like that.
<Idle Mando the Cerise> |
|
| Oct-28-08 | | Woody Wood Pusher: looks like my Hobbit name is: Olo Foxburr
Should I be pleased or upset?
I guess it could have been worse... |

|
Oct-28-08
 | | Domdaniel: Heh. Fine old family, the Boffins of Needlehole.
My esteemed ancestor, Dudo I, is said to have invented the term 'LOL' -- but he was <Lollygagging Old Lumpenproles> at the time, and nobody took him up on it. |
