jnpope has kibitzed 6905 times to chessgames   [more...]

Oct-12-25 Thomas Mazuchowski   jnpope: Sad to hear that. I always enjoyed my brief chats with Tom. His game vs Fischer is probably lost to the sands of time.      Oct-11-25 John Jenkins   jnpope: Thanks. Nice to scratch that one off my list.      Oct-10-25 Louis Goldsmith   jnpope: Gaige has him born in: Port Phillip, Victoria, Australia Newspaper reports on his death state he was born: Melbourne, Victoria, Australia A family tree at Ancy.com gives: St. George in the East, Middlesex, England Father: Henry Goldsmith Mother: Sarah Landeshut (with the ...      Oct-08-25 Chessgames - Sports    jnpope: LFG Tigers!      Oct-07-25 Biographer Bistro    jnpope: Assuming the "J. Jenkins" listed as a problem solver/correspondent is the same man, it would appear John Jenkins died between June 1889 and September 1890. Perhaps someone with access to the British Ancy.com materials can check for a death record in that time-span (again, assuming ...      Oct-01-25 Chessgames - Politics    jnpope: I feel both sides have failed the American people. I'm having shirts made for the upcoming election cycle: Support our troops Military coup 2026!      Sep-28-25 Hans Lindehn    jnpope: I saw that he had returned to Sweden for some time before "permanently" settling in the US, which would have reset his residency "counter". It was unclear to me if 1873 was a permanent move or a lengthy visit, but it was clear he had permanently moved to the US by 1876.      Sep-26-25 Zukertort vs Wood, 1874    jnpope: Ha! I was just going to ask if you knew the name of the French café at 74 Ludgate Hill.      Sep-25-25 3rd CCA Congress, Malvern (1872)   jnpope: Cohen did not play in Malvern 1872 (main event or handicap), but he did exist at this time apparently, Cohen , which may explain how the ILN misread Coker.      Sep-25-25 Chessgames - Guys and Dolls    jnpope: Cherie Lunghi (Excalibur)

< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 15 OF 15 ·  Later Kibitzing> Dec-09-24    jnpope: Yes. Solo drive non-stop. Dec-10-24    stone free or die: That's averaging about 76 mph isn't it? Just curious do you have a radar/ladar detector? And do actually ever go to Lions' games? . Dec-10-24    jnpope: No detection device. I use the FIT method (traveling the speed of the Fastest Indigenous Traffic in each state). I figure they know where all the speed traps are (I also have Waze on my phone). The closest I've come to Ford Field is Comerica Park (I do attend Tigers games). But I have an open invite (first refusal) to home games from a sports junkie friend. Dec-11-24    stone free or die: Never knew that technique (ie FIT) had a name. I might have called it the left-lane-blend-in. Dec-16-24    jnpope: Richard Fenton R. F. Fenton, formerly of Swansea, according to the Cardiff <Weekly Mail> Dec-29-24    jnpope: Rudolf Czaikowsky Dec-31-24    jnpope: Lowenthal in the Bohn edition (pp.405-413) and Segeant (pp.315-319) give these 6 games as being played by the same Amateur: 1 Morphy vs Worrall, 1858 2 Morphy vs Worrall, 1858 3 Morphy vs NN, 1857 4 Morphy vs J McConnell, 1858 5 Morphy vs NN, 1857 6 Morphy vs Worrall, 1858 Dec-31-24    jnpope: These 6 games are not given as being played by the same amateur Appleton edition (pp.439-450). Jan-28-25    jnpope: http://www.nli.org.il/en/newspapers... Looks like his column started on 1914.11.22 an ran until 1923.04.13 (at least). Jan-28-25    stone free or die: When did his column run? (Weekly? What day?) Could someone provide a direct link to one of his columns so I could see how Google's toolset does with Yiddish? (It's so close to German that I think it should be ok, but I only have the vague-ish memories of encountering that language in a chess column before) Jan-29-25    jnpope: It appears to have been weekly. The day it appeared changed over the years. Here's a link to the first column as a pdf download (page 8 of the 22 November 1914 issue). https://www.nli.org.il/en/newspaper... Apr-16-25    BarakSaltz: The Cedar Rapids magazine "The Pawn" (1910-1911) is available on Hathitrust. https://catalog.hathitrust.org/Reco... Apr-16-25    jnpope: Thanks!

May-29-25    jnpope: Biographer Bistro Jun-05-25    Stonehenge: I've uploaded some games by Hercule Goudjou. Mostly from https://www.arhisah.ro/wp-content/u... and one from http://heritageechecsfra.free.fr/18.... Not sure what this is: Paris (1881). Aug-03-25    jnpope: Game Collection: R R Sah Sep-18-25    jnpope: Thought for the day: "Colbert: cancelled. Kimmel: cancelled. Free speech: cancelled. Health care: cancelled. Education: cancelled. Vaccinations against horrible diseases: you bet they're cancelled. Sounds like the GOP is the real cancel culture in Murica."
