| Nov-14-08 | | malthrope: <jessicafischerqueen: Hang on Qg5 is check <Mal> so you are forced to take his queen-> If only we didn't have a pawn of the square 'f2' It still might work then after 3... Qxg5 <Check> then 4. Qxg5 and now no 4...gxf!! ~lol~ Still brutal though... Yep, I think we all learned a lesson! <grin> |

Chess is endless lessons...
<Marcel Duchamp> said that "Chess is a school of silence."
But I think we four just proved that
<CHESS CAN ALSO BE A SCHOOL OF FOUR GOOD FRIENDS ANALYZING TOGETHER AT TOP SPEED AND YELLING AT EACH OTHER AND CALLING OUT MOVES AND KNOCKING ALL THE PIECES OVER> as well... There's more than one way to learn chess lessons.
I can never figure out if I'm supposed to be the <Gnat drinking> or the <Elephant bathing>. We should ask <Niels>. As an actual Elephant, he may be an expert... |

| Nov-14-08 | | achieve: wheee - the four of us filled well over a <page>... <Jess: Chess takes Time> Same here. I can not play faster than 20 mins without increment, I have found... And I DO NOT WANT to play any faster; simply just because, as it only serves a stupid addiction to time, and takes away from the quality IMO - but it's a debatable issue, in which I do not take part, if possible. Classical Chess and Blitz are just two separate, yet distantly related, games. |

| Nov-14-08 | | malthrope: <achieve: <Mal> heh -- Ng5-elegance refuted by brute force!> Yep! Brute force got me in the end! ~lol~ I just overlooked after 1... fxg3 that the c1-h6 diagional is now open... Such is chess as I was only looking for elegance! ;) |

 | | jessicafischerqueen: Heh I was half asleep and now I'm wide awake..
Thank goodness for chess friends.
I only wish we all could have been in the same HOtel room knocking the pieces around... Then <Bobby Fischer> could come in and say "You people spent an hour on THAT???"
heh...
Then we could all go out bowling.
sigh |

| Nov-14-08 | | achieve: heh - I'm jinxed out!
Or out-jinxed...
It was fun communing here from all continents in REAL TIME!! |

<Marcel Duchamp> said that "Chess is a school of silence.">
Great quote by <Duchamp> Jess. :)) I'd never heard that one before. Yeah, we did knock over some pieces! Mine are still on the floor! ~lol~ |
|
| Nov-14-08 | | achieve: <Jess> I went out bowling with a bunch a few weeks ago - BUT THEY WERE ALL IN MY TIMEZONE heh - needless to say I won by a landslide - as they were not my "friends" I think... |

 | | jessicafischerqueen: <from all continents in REAL TIME!! > You said it <Elephant>! You in Europe, Mal in North America, me in Asia, and Eyal, of course, in Africa covered <all four> of the World's Continents!! What a great session. My fingers are breathless. |
|
| Nov-14-08 | | malthrope: You said it all Jess...
<You in Europe, Mal in North America, me in Asia, and Eyal, of course, in Africa covered <all four> of the World's Continents!!What a great session. My fingers are breathless.> Other than my <sheepish grin> exposed I'm all s-m-i-l-e-s here! ;) |

| Nov-14-08 | | malthrope: <achieve: [...] It was fun communing here from all continents in REAL TIME!!> And, no engines running anywhere to be found except the synapses sparkling and firing in our minds! ;) |
|
| Nov-14-08 | | achieve: Ermmm - are we "webcam-ready"?
Or did we just prove we don't need any?
I go for the 2nd option. |
|
| Nov-14-08 | | malthrope: HaHaHa! Niels - I'm a mess so I'll pass... ~lol~ Option Number #2 must be right! ;) |
|
| Nov-14-08 | | achieve: <Mal> heh - though I find it very nice to have seen a few photos of you! <sheepish grin exposed> ;) |

 | | jessicafischerqueen: HEH- I was soo sure that guy in the gallery in <Iceland> was <Mal>-- So was <technical draw>... <Mal> you have to admit it was a striking resemblance. From the <saddest Bobby fiscer video> in my Profile... Possible identical twin you don't know about?
Maybe you should look in to it... |
|
| Nov-14-08 | | malthrope: Jess - I remember once on a trip my parents took me on that I ran into a kid that confused me for someone else... So, it appears I have at least one look alike out there! ;) |
|
| Nov-14-08 | | malthrope: Niels - most of the photo's I have are old... I'll post some in my chessforum later so you can see some. In fact, I even have baby pictures and all my school pics as well! ~lol~ It's a miracle those survived! ;) |
|
| Nov-14-08 | | achieve: Of CG members Only Branko has seen a few photos of me in my prime... At least that's what he thinks, heh. I assume no pictures of my Seoul trip circulate on the NET... |

 | | jessicafischerqueen: I found a picture of you on the NET where your friends found you asleep and put socks on your hands and carrots in your ears and then posted it on <youtube>. http://www.niels/carrot.org |
|
| Nov-14-08 | | achieve: <Mal> Can't wait! heh -- you, of course, have that magic scanner thing... I think some fancy printers can scan too... Then I will send you a few of mine, via email ;) BTW - I recently put up my Seoul Gold Medal for interested onlookers... I should take a pic from it and send it, too... |
|
| Nov-14-08 | | malthrope: HaHaHa! ;) Jess set a Yu-tubie trap and we both fell right into it! ~lol~ |
|
| Nov-14-08 | | malthrope: It's an old scanner but still... It's better than nothing! :)) |
|
| Nov-14-08 | | achieve: <jessicafischerqueen: I found a picture of you on the NET where your friends found you asleep and put socks on your hands and carrots in your ears and then posted it on <youtube>.> HEY!! YOU!! WATCH IT!!
An ounce of respect would be nice - I'm not a CIRCUS ACT!! |
|
| Nov-14-08 | | achieve: <Mal> Do NOT fall for Jess and her phony URLs -- that's her "specialty" -- I know this for a while now... |
