| Sep-17-10 | | therealbenjinathan: <jfq> Did you try Biblio.com? They look like they have one copy. |
|
| Sep-17-10 | | Russian Grandmasters: Thanks for the tip <Benji> I will go there and check it out. I think it might be a year before I could start work on a video about <Marshall Dillon> but it would be better to have the biography in hand for sure. |

| Sep-17-10 | | therealbenjinathan: I will keep an eye out for it too. Let me know if you get it. |

| Sep-17-10 | | crawfb5: <Jess the Younger> I just got email from Amazon letting me know Lawson's biography, <Paul Morphy: Pride and Sorrow of Chess> is coming back out in print as a paperback for $20 USD! http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/18... I hear it is excellent. |
|
| Sep-17-10 | | Russian Grandmasters: <Big> good news indeed! I can confirm it's an excellent biography. In some sense, it's kind of the only biography ever written about a chess player, since it's about the details of <Morphy's> entire life. I read this book cover to cover three summers ago whilst home on vacation. I got it out of the Liberry! |

| Sep-18-10 | | Travis Bickle: Jess did you ever see this Penny Lane video from 1967? Penny Lane/Strawberry Fields Forever were a double A sided 45 rpm single. Penny Lane - The Beatles
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xO0g...
P.S.
The song that stopped The Beatles streak at 12 in a row was Please Please Me by Anglebert Humperdinck! LOL!! Penny Lane/Strawberry Fields Forver came in 2nd place in The UK, although Penny Lane was a number 1 hit in the U.S. Producer George Martin said he thought it was The Beatles best single release to date at the time! |
|
| Sep-18-10 | | Travis Bickle: Sorry Jess I mistyped twice before...D'OH!!
The song was by *Engelbert Humperdinck after the German classical composer's name, and was called *Please Release Me, not (sic) Please Please Me. Down below is the song that wrecked The Beatles number 1 streak in the U.K at 12 beginning in late 1962 with the 1st being 'From Me To You'. Please Release Me - Humpadink LOL

Sodas.
Fantastic links and hats off to <The Old Testament Prophet Ezekiel> |
|
| Sep-18-10 | | Open Defence: <Engelbert Humperdinck> he's an Anglo Indian, we are very proud of his achievements, especially going through school with a name like that |
|
| Sep-18-10 | | Russian Grandmasters: Well yes I was about to say. I thought <T-Dawg> was making it up. I didn't know Humpbackwhale was an Indian name?
I believe you though he does have that smoldering Bollywood star appeal for sure. |
|
| Sep-18-10 | | Russian Grandmasters: <Deffi> also how do you know about <Beau Geste>? I know about him only through Peanuts comics when Snoopy used to pretend he was in the French Foreign Legion. |

He changed it on the suggestion of his manager to Engelbert...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engelb... |

| Sep-18-10 | | crawfb5: Whew. I finished submitting all the missing games from <Spirit of St. Louis, 1904>, about 32 total. Not all my sources had round numbers for all the games and this was back in the day of draws were replayed, although they put a twist on it -- for the replay game colors were switched, and if the second game was also a draw, then the result was scored as one draw. They set aside two days (one about midway and one at the end) for adjournments and replay games. So, I had to do some untangling to figure out who, what, and where. PGN uploads have been processed fairly quickly, so I should be able to move ahead in the near future. I haven't given much thought to Atlantic City 1921. I rechecked <ACB 1921> and I think I could bring the total up to around 19 or 20 games out of 67. |

I left the team, i am not motivated at all and tired. |
|
| Sep-20-10 | | Russian Grandmasters: <Hugin> I understand, and respect, your decision. Please take care of yourself- your contributions to all matters to do with chess are invaluable. Speaking of which, do you have a youtube account with the word "hugin" in it? If so, I found you!
