Here's a Beatles video that was never released until 30 years later. It originally was filmed as a promo film for the song Lady Madonna, but the real song Hey Bulldog is what The Beatles are really playing. Here's a link on this video recording.

| | jessicafischerqueen: <Travis> thanks for the "Deep Beatles" links- I will give you my impressions tomorrow. Some workmen are coming to fix my walls which are peeling away from the walls, if you can believe it. Ok back later.
Possibly the only thing more interesting than DEEP BEATLES would be Deep Genesis, I'm thinking. |

| | jessicafischerqueen: <cormier> tks mstr for the Tallis sacred choral songs- JINX I just watched this documentary last night but only 4 out of 6 parts are uploaded so far. It's about the great <Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina (1526-1594)>: Palestrina was an Italian Renaissance composer of sacred music and the best-known 16th-century representative of the Roman School of musical composition. Here is Part One:

| | jessicafischerqueen: <kormier> tks mstr for that FABULOUS article about Mayan Archaeology. JINX again! I watched this documentary a few weeks ago about how they cracked the Mayan code and now they can read all the hieroglyphs. Turns out Mayan was a "real language" after all, just like the Egyptian language. This is one of the best documentaries I ever saw-

| May-15-10 | | Travis Bickle: Hey Jess did you ever see Fearless starring Jeff Bridges? That and Shawshank Redemption are probably my favorite two movies, next to Taxi Driver of course. ; P |
|
May-16-10
| | jessicafischerqueen: Yes I love all three of those movies too. |
|
| May-16-10 | | Eyal: <Jess> Be sure not to miss the shocking story of <theodor> (Anand-Topalov World Chess Championship (2010)),
as well as the efforts of our new star analyst, <Wesley Raes> (Anand-Topalov World Chess Championship (2010)). |
|

| | jessicafischerqueen: <KRABAB> thanks yes I'm excited by Wesley's contributions. Unfortunately your <theodor> link leads to a "ghost page". I do know <theodor> rather well however, as does my lawyer <hms123>. We are both on his email list, and we have both received many photographs from Bulgaria. This is a fact I'm not making it up either.
I will try to find <theodor's> posts on the World Champ Match. I think he was probably at the match in person. |

| May-16-10 | | Eyal: Ah, it's on p.369 (and he also posted it on his own forum and in <Dom>'s). Btw, here's the new excuse for not playing well:
Mamedyarov vs Svidler, 2010
<Mamedyarov: I had some problems with my computer, so I couldn't prepare for the game in a usual way.> (http://astrakhan2010.fide.com/5th-r...) |
|
May-16-10
| | jessicafischerqueen: Ah ok thanks <KRABAB>. I don't understand the psychology behind making excuses when you lose. They just make the winner feel better because you give them the extra satisfaction of seeing you whine and whinge. Why can't these people man up and grow a pair?
Like Irina Krush. She didn't take kindly to someone mispelling her name as "Irenal failure" though. Did you see that one? |
|
| May-16-10 | | Eyal: Actually he didn't lose, just got absolutely nothing from the opening as White and drew in 23 moves… but it strikes me as a bit funny how natural such an explanation, involving the necessity for computer-assisted prep, has become to these players (also considering that Mamedyarov accused one of his opponents of cheating with a computer when he did lose another game - Mamedyarov vs I Kurnosov, 2009). |

| | jessicafischerqueen: lol
INTERVIEWER: So... you actually had to put some effort into the game? SVIDLER: Yes, I had to make a few choices during the game. |

May-16-10
| | jessicafischerqueen: Yes I remember when <Shaquille O' Neal> made that charge which won him the lasting enmity of every single person who knows how to play chess. He is every bit as big of a sore loser as <Toapalow>. I was thinking the other day about what separates Super GMs- and yes it's memorizing great wafts of opening systems. They all spot tactical tricks in the Middle Game and they all have pretty much the same end game expertise so what's left? Opening preparation which also involves memorizing all your opponent's games. The thing is, so many of them have eidetic chess memories that they can actually do this. In my recent research, I was stunned to learn that the 19th century masters all made much of their bread and butter by giving blindfold simuls and they all could do them rather easily it seems. Anderssen Harrwitz Tartakower Morphy Lasker Steinitz Chigorin Pillsbury Blackburne all of them and more, many others who aren't even that famous such as Rosenthal. And they would frequently add in blindfold checkers, whist, and memorizing word lists at the same time they played multiple chess opponents. Did you know that "scientists" believed that these activities could actually "break your brain"? It's true <KRABAB> there are tons of "scientific articles" on this phenomenon. None of them involve any actual science, of course.
Nowadays the top GMs don't have to make extra money with blindfold exhibitions. |
