Chelushkina (2325). The thing is that the Serb played virtually flawless

I'm not sure if you saw this either- <Graham Clayton's> most fascinating games collection in which the "simul players" deliver nasty surprises to the Masters: Game Collection: Simul upsets |

| Oct-05-10 | | Travis Bickle: Good choice for a costume Jess, I'd be afraid of Pumpkin Head!! http://www.predatorstuff.com/blogim... |
|
| Oct-05-10 | | Travis Bickle: Jess, 1 year I dressed as Pumpkin Head but I made the mistake of not seeing the movie. So I told the shyster costume guy at Walmart to get me a Pumkin Head Costume. This is what I went trick or treatin' in. I never got punched in the face so many times and even by angry housewives! ; P http://www.racheshop.de/product_ima... |

| Oct-05-10 | | crawfb5: Ok the <Hunt for Atlantic Tuna> has run dry enough that I submitted an appeal to <Our Man Wint>. We shall see if any new leads emerge. PS -- <The Focus> If you would be so kind as to post the correction to that Marshall game, I would appreciate it. I'm not in a rush, I just didn't want to let it slip between the cracks. If you would open your forum <nudge, nudge>, people wouldn't have to leave you messages in other people's forums... :-) |
|
| Oct-05-10 | | TheFocus: <crawbf5> I did post the correction on September 29. I said I would open my Forum on October 1, but a computer crash caused me to buy a new laptop. But I think maybe today we have our opening today. I am putting all my <Travels with Bobby> stories there together. I am going to repeat this post at your Forum. |
|
| Oct-05-10 | | TheFocus: <jess> My Forum is now open. Bring your own popcorn. |
|
| Oct-06-10 | | Travis Bickle: Hey Jess check out my Forum for a response to your review of "I'm Gonna Get You Sucka!". ; P |
|
| Oct-06-10 | | crawfb5: I think I just landed another elusive <Tuna>. The game's afoot! |
|
| Oct-06-10 | | dakgootje: You can only be afoot, as long as you are not defeated Perhaps there should be made a book called "Chess-player quotations: Wise, mysterious and usually non-nonsensical." |
|
| Oct-06-10 | | 8284: Here is a game with two <fawn pawns> for your collection: Larsen vs Gligoric, 1971 |
|
| Oct-06-10 | | Russian Grandmasters: <whiteshark> thanks for that "double fawner"- it's really quite remarkable. I notice you have that one in your own <h6> collection as well. I will add it to mine once I change clothes. |

 | | jessicafischerqueen: <Dak> a good idea. Also, what about autobiographies?
They are automatic chess quote books.
Every single word in them is a quote. Even the quotation marks in them are quotes. |
|
| Oct-06-10 | | Travis Bickle: Hey Jess drop by my house for The Beatle countdown! ; P |
|
| Oct-06-10 | | crawfb5: I got it too. I think some sleaze hacked your address book. |
