| May-11-09 | | benjinathan: <Maybe YOU already bought every chess book in Toronto?> You must have been speaking with my wife.
Did you ever go to the Brunswick House where, in my youth I bought <trays> of beers (I never see beer being sold by the tray anymore) and sang drinking songs? |

heh
It was really nice to meet you too!!
Even though I thought you were my friend <Switching Owls for Thugs>. GHOD
Ok I'm still new to the <baba interface>. I didn't even know that my conversation in the "chat box" also appears on the <Main Console>. DOH!
(I have the Main Console) hidden on my <baba setting> so the chessboard will look GIGANTIC) |

 | | jessicafischerqueen: Hi <coach>!!!
I'm very happy to see you drop a game in here--
I'm going in now... |

| May-12-09 | | notyetagm: You'll like it. Morphy was like god. :-) |

| May-12-09 | | Eyal: Morphy vs Schrufer, 1859 Is this an early version of <Shredder>? It has some spectacular moments, of course, but I have to say that I don't enjoy as much as I used to those games by Morphy in which his opponents keep insisting on grabbing pawns, opening central files for his pieces and not castling (10...0-0-0), and also on not putting up any real resistance in critical moments (19...Ke8). Still, I suppose one of the main reasons we know today how stupid it is to play in the opening like that is because of such games by Morphy... |

That's for sure.
And as a teacher, I can tell you that <learning how to punish students tactically> is also an important skill to learn. Here in Korea, they line them up on their knees in the hall, and then wail on the soles of their feet with bamboo sticks. YOU SHOULD HEAR THEM YOWLING!!
(this is a true story- corporal punishment in the Korean High School is not only legal- it is encouraged) |

| May-12-09 | | hms123: <jess> In the first game (Owen's Defense), you played about as well as possible. You might have played <7….Qh5>, but otherwise I don’t see any improvements. In the second game (French Defense), there were a few alternative moves worth considering.  click for larger view1...Qe8 2.h5 Ne7 3.Bd3 Nf5 4.g4 Nxd4 5.hxg6 Rxf4 6.gxh7+ Kh8 7.Bxf4 Nxf3 8.Qxf3 Qe7  click for larger viewInstead of <9.Rac1> you might give thought to <9.Rh5 Bd7 10.Bg5 Rf8 11.Qxf8+ Qxf8+ 12.Bf6+ Qxf6+ 13.exf6>  click for larger view After <9...Bd7>

Thanks for the elaboration.
I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to see that video you posted here, but like I said it didn't work. So you play on <gameknot>? Do you recommend it?
Have you played on FICS?>
Gameknot is pretty good.No I haven't played on FICS. |

| May-12-09 | | just a kid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2a5.... Oh wow.Listen to this song.Probably one of the darkest I have ever heard.For some twisted reason I can relate to this song. |
|
| May-12-09 | | just a kid: <JFQ>The bad video link song was Stay Together for the kids by Blink-182.Try to look it up on Youtube. |
|
| May-12-09 | | benjinathan: <just a kid> Hey! Stay away from the dark music. To quote Lisa Simpson (while watching kids listening to Smashing Pumpkins "Zero"):" Making teenagers depressed is like shooting fish in a barrel". There is plenty of time to listen to depressing music when you get old like me. |

| May-13-09 | | achieve: Hi <Jess> - a "Hi Jess" emu landed in your box a minute ago. I'll be taking it easy over the next few days, posting wise also. Take care, and I'll be in touch. |

| May-13-09 | | hms123: <jess> Shahade is a potty mouth. You should listen to his round 4 comments about the Brooks/Benjamin game around the 18:30-20 minute mark. |

| May-13-09 | | Ragh: <JFK> Cool. BTW, the Mental Masters is really standing up to its nickname this year. |

heh- Don't listen to that Old Guy!!
<Korn> Kiks ass-
The track you gave me reminds me of <9 inch Nails> and <bauhaus>- I like it a lot too. Ironically, <Korn> was of course also featured on <The Simpsons>. |

Very good lyrics- and an important and painful subject. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=moid... |

In the meantime, please consider enjoying this <not dark> greatest love song ever made and share it with your wife maybe- <Thorski> found this for me, and I listen to it up to 9000 times a day on a loop.

Heh- yes <Magnus Drawsen> pulled that devastating "lateral attack" out of nowhere, it seems- <Vincent Gallo> seemed to be perfectly fine- right up to the time he was about to lose his Queen by <force majeur> and resigned. Stunning play by <Magnus Winsen> |
