<"None of the experts doubted that the position of the leader Antoaneta Stefanova against Harika Dronavalli was close to lost ... <<<The Indian only had to make the standard transfer of the f rook to d6, but she hurried with 25.f5?>>> and soon was happy herself to finish the game peacefully"> White's 25 f4-f5? is a very poor move showing a lack of understanding of the position, mainly the giant <WEAK SQUARE/HOLE> on d6. As the commentary on the Russian website points out, the transfer of a White rook to the d6-sq is nearly decisive. After the huge positional mistake 25 f4-f5?, it is Black(!) who is much better in the final position, with Houdini 2.0 giving an eval of <-0.93  >. http://chessbomb.com/o/wrapid-2012/... 32 ... ♖f8-d8 1/2-1/2

| Jun-24-13 | | playground player: <Jessicafischerqueen> Thanks and a hat tip to our esteemed colleague, <YouRang> for making my article on Locke accessible to anyone who wants to read it. I had to work very hard on that one--glad you like it. I don't know about anywhere else, but in my part of the country, drive-in theaters were replaced by condos and apartment complexes, and in one case nearby, a multiplex theater that now stands empty and forlorn. I think the problem with it is a shortage of movies that are anywhere near worth the price of admission. How I'd love to revive the drive-in! But here in NJ there's no room left for one--you'd have to tear down apartments and strip malls. In my town we don't even have playgrounds anymore--the schools have been expanded to swallow up all available space. In their monotonous brick ugliness, they glower down at the surrounding neighborhoods and create the overall impression of being in a prison exercise yard. Meanwhile, I still live in hope of someday delighting in a <Bell Mountain> video produced by... well, the best damn video artist I'll ever know. |

 | | jessicafischerqueen: <Ohio> Given that I've actually been banned from this website four (4) times, the meaning of "naughty" might include a long list of sub categories, for all I know. You might add "stupid" to that list, since I've just forwarded an email to Daniel Freeman that I thought I was sending to a friend of mine instead. So now he has my totally uncensored opinion about him and his website. If you find me MIA in the near future, this may not be a mystery. Doh! (it's not the first time I sent an email to the wrong address either) |

 | | Annie K.: Hey <Jessique>, how about accidentally dropping by chat sometime? ;) |
|
Jun-24-13
| | OhioChessFan: Wow, I think it would be pretty cool to get an uncensored opinion of me. |
|
Jun-24-13
| | jessicafischerqueen: <Than> thanks for that intriguing music- I would never have found that on my own. Also thanks for the <de Felice> google web page, looks promising. |
|

| | jessicafischerqueen: <Ohio> you already have my uncensored opinion of you scattered all over the site. I didn't get where I am today without being blunt. I'm a "people person," although this causes my brother in law Reggie no end of frustration. |

| Jun-25-13 | | achieve: Hi <Jess> - remembering your love of Peter Gabriel's work I thought of you when I discovered the material from this super uploader (Rob Harrah), absolutely stellar HD quality footage of a Live Concert, 'Still Growing Up', and the song I chose here is called <The Tower That Ate People>, in which half-way through the song Gabriel takes to the keyboard as a loud sonic Hard Rock storm is being laid to rest and moved towards a very hymn-like contemplative, meditative, mood, really special this... here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1is...
...some of the lyrics:
<
Tell it like it is
Till there's no misunderstanding
When you strip it right back
Man feed machine
Machine feed man
Tell it like it is
Till there's no misunderstand
You make up what you like
Man feed machine
Machine feed man
Brick by brick [ad infinitum]
>
Gabriel really is hitting home with this, I tells you, and I hope you have some top end audio speakers to deliver the FULL EFFECT! Signed,
An Audiophile |

| Jun-25-13 | | playground player: <JFQ>, <OCF> All this stuff about hearing an uncensored opinion about oneself reminds me of youthful fantasies of "What if I died, and then they'd all be sorry, and what would they say about me at my funeral?" I am sure I would be horrified to hear what a lot of people really thought of me. With my luck they'd get <DEA> to do the speech. Then again, I didn't get where I am today listening to my own funeral oration. |

| | OhioChessFan: I'd be surprised if I was surprised to hear what anyone said about me. I've had people tell me my faults in spades and I'm like "Yeah, I know." |

| | jessicafischerqueen: <Annie> nice one! hehe I had been congratulating myself for being savvy enough to spot that <The Last Straw> was a contest sock run by <Ohio>. Until I went to <The Last Straw> page and saw <Ohio> discussing matters with him. Now, I have been known to have "conversations" with my own socks, but I don't think this is <Ohio>. He remains a mystery... |
