Well just tell me that's not the best <Football Movie> ever. STRONG SIDE!
LEFT SIDE!
It's far superior to <Any Given Sunday>. <Friday Night Lights> was OK. But you know the one with <Mark Wahlberg> as the scrub who makes it to the pros that was good. And the other one with <who the heck can remember> as the scrub who makes it onto the Notre Dame team was good too. Those ones had exactly the same plot.
Ok let's face it all sports movies have EXACTLY the same plot. GHOD |

| Apr-09-09 | | madlydeeply: well north dallas forty was a blast too.
Naomi Klein I daresay is close to Abe Lincoln/Noam Chomsky greatness. Is she the greatest canadian? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ka3P... |

| | jessicafischerqueen: Yes, she is, but most people confuse her with <Naomi Wolf> since their politics are identical. And they have the same hair.
<North Dallas Forty>.. With Nick Nolte?
I pride myself on having seen every football movie.
I even remember a line from that film:
"You'd better learn to speak Canadian." |

In re: <f6>
Game: Botvinnik vs Kan, 1939
Position: <15…..?>
click for larger viewKan played <15….Nf6> but should have played <15…f6> according to Lipnitsky’s <Questions of Modern Chess Theory>. “”This may be the decisive mistake already! The right continuation, however, was 15…f6, although of course White’s position should still be preferred-since the central squares under his control, e4 and d5, greatly facilitate the manoeuvres of his pieces. <Black’s rejection of 15…f6 means that one of his pieces will constantly have to be on guard on the f-6 square.> But the main trouble is that White now has the chance to exchange knights, after which his bishop in the centre will feel completely in charge.” (Botvinnik)” |

| Apr-09-09 | | hms123: <jess> <<FAWN PAWN>> Here's a game with one of your favorite players: Alekhine vs Van Mindeno, 1933 This is the <ultimate> <<FAWN PAWN>> position. Black resigned after AA played <17.g6>.

| | jessicafischerqueen: Jinx Thanks <Howard>!!! Did you devise any technique for finding them?
I've been busy for the last while, and my post in your house explains what I was doing. Ok Thanks so much for the first game in my new <GAMES COLLECTION>!! Heh.. <17...RESIGN> The <Fawn Pawn> can be monstrous... Preventing the King from escaping is one of it's main SECRET POWERS... I can't wait to post the <fawn pawn> position from my game last Saturday but I haven't had time to analyze it properly yet. heh
I LOVE THE FAWN PAWN.
People don't expect the FAWN PAWN either.
They tend to underestimate it's potential danger... |

| | jessicafischerqueen: You know that's a nifty position eh?
Black cannot defend by capturing the <FAWN PAWN> with the Queen because then <18.Qc4+!!> and there is no piece that can interpose on the diagonal without allowing White to score a "smothered mate" on the <h8> square. |

| Apr-09-09 | | achieve: <Jess> Just read your wonderful post at <theodor> forum. Loved it. Moved me. Theodor is my dad's first name and my middle name.
Just got back - and yeah I knew you meant the Fawn Pawn at the 6th rank ;) Back at my place later. I really look forward to getting some study in on your posts and <crawf>'s. Starting Saturday that is. The Fawn Pawn is one of my favs vs comps, as it underevals its latent power, no exception. A chess position contains a force, an energy, that is not yet "calculable." Good show again! |
|
| Apr-09-09 | | hms123: <jess> My special technique was to pick up one of the books that I am working through and flip through the diagrams. I got lucky. |

| Apr-09-09 | | madlydeeply: oh GHOD please break this record already. |

| Apr-09-09 | | Woody Wood Pusher: So this is where all the interesting FENS hang out... |

<So this is where all the interesting FENS hang out...> It could be either here or at your place--I am kind of on the <FENS> about it. |
|
| Apr-09-09 | | Woody Wood Pusher: Don't forget <Boomie>'s place as well <hms>. That just might be the craziest of all...
haha |
|
| Apr-09-09 | | hms123: <woody> I hadn't forgot <boomie> or <niels> but thought that <FENS's> only had two sides. |

| Apr-09-09 | | hms123: <Political Correctness Alert> <Brown renames Columbus Day, calls it Fall WeekendPROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — Brown University is taking the "Columbus Day" out of Columbus Day weekend. The faculty voted at a meeting Tuesday to establish a new academic holiday in October called "Fall Weekend." The long weekend coincides with Columbus Day. Hundreds of Brown students had asked the Providence school to stop observing Columbus Day, citing the explorer's violent treatment of Native Americans he encountered. Reiko (RAY'-koh) Koyama, a sophomore who led the effort, says celebrating Columbus Day seemed inconsistent with Brown's values. The change will take effect in in the fall. Brown will remain closed on Columbus Day, in part to avoid inconveniencing staff whose children might have the holiday off. Many other colleges are open on Columbus Day but give students short breaks later in the semester.> GHOD |
|
| Apr-09-09 | | Woody Wood Pusher: But doesn't Columbus represent a spirit of discovery and human achievement that would be entirely suitable for a college to celebrate. If they are looking for 'perfect' heroes, they will be disappointed. Political-correctness is getting more and more ridiculous. |
|
| Apr-09-09 | | hms123: <woody> That story made me crazy. The idea that they won't celebrate Columbus Day except that they will be closed for the convenience of parents is just so bizarre. I just bet there won't be a John Wayne Day at Brown anytime soon. |
|
| Apr-09-09 | | hms123: <jess> This is my 4000th post. Amazing. |
|
| Apr-09-09 | | Woody Wood Pusher: Was that really your 4000th post <hms>!? I would have thought you were on more than that.
That makes the speed with which I amassed over 5000 posts a little embarrassing... But then yours are quality, and mine are, er, just multi-pack quantity rubbish. haha |

| Apr-09-09 | | Boomie: <hms123: <Political Correctness Alert>
<Brown renames Columbus Day, calls it Fall Weekend> Now we have to rename everything.

What's next? |
|
| Apr-09-09 | | hms123: <boomie> I know. It is very depressing. I guess the next step is to stop teaching children that <in 1492, C******s sailed the ocean blue>. Further, the only right answer on the fill-in-the-blank question about <C******s> will be to leave it blank. No credit for correct answers--only for politically-correct answers. I am about to scream. AAAARRRGGGHH! |

Dear Chatterbox,
I only post meaningful comments like this one at <OD's> place. Open Defence chessforum You seem to be busy analyzing chess games. What's up with that? Best,
Mr. Taciturn |
