Member since Dec-23-04
Behold the fiery disk of Ra!

Started with tournaments right after the first Fischer-Spassky set-to, but have long since given up active play in favour of poker.

In my chess playing days, one of the most memorable moments was playing fourth board on the team that won the National High School championship at Cleveland, 1977. Another which stands out was having the pleasure of playing a series of rapid games with Mikhail Tal on his first visit to the USA in 1988. Even after facing a number of titled players, including Teimour Radjabov when he first became a GM (he still gave me a beating), these are things which I'll not forget.

Fischer at his zenith was the greatest of all champions for me, but has never been one of my favourite players. In that number may be included Emanuel Lasker, Bronstein, Korchnoi, Larsen, Speelman, Romanishin, Nakamura and Carlsen, all of whom have displayed outstanding fighting qualities.

Besides sitting across the board from Tal, I have a Lasker number of three and twos for world champions from Capablanca through Carlsen.

  chancho: I gather you are aware of this report on those guys out on bail, you know, the ones who wanted to kidnap Michigan Governor Whitmer?

<Jonathan Lemire@JonLemire· 28m “New filings claim there was a Plan B the militiamen had drawn up, that involved a takeover of the Michigan capitol building by 200 combatants who would stage a week-long series of televised executions of public officials” https://abc7chicago.com/michigan-go...>

Trump's <good people on both sides> comment gave these scum permission to dream up such twisted ideas.

  perfidious: <zed....New socks are limitless in supply, so how many cycles of this charade do we have to endure?>

Malodorous socks are best washed--or in this instance, purged.

<....(Or course, this cycle is a little different, given the "big retreat" reversal it's almost comical to see 'em again with the "bottom feeders". Reflects badly on their elite status after all!)....>

And they have made such drama out of an outwardly simple decision to exit the Rogovian minefield, where the going obviously got too hot for them.

This preoccupation on the part of such stalwart defenders of the faith as <thegreatwanker>, <dicer the cottager>, <heart attack giver> et al with such theatrics makes one wonder how they get on in their echo chamber, with but few coming round to visit.

  perfidious: While this bit was originally intended for <blundering shill>, it might equally apply to the current occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania:

<You might learn some facts to replace the marsh-gas miasma of fantasy you continue to pipe into the forum.>

Courtesy of <Abdel Irada>, and may he be well, always. His great erudition, humanity and decency are much missed hereabouts.

  perfidious: You don't please the king, the bum's rush is your lot:

<'The recent statement by Chris Krebs on the security of the 2020 Election was highly inaccurate, in that there were massive improprieties and fraud - including dead people voting, Poll Watchers not allowed into polling locations, 'glitches' in the voting machines which changed votes from Trump to Biden, late voting, and many more.

Therefore, effective immediately, Chris Krebs has been terminated as Director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency'.>

Democracy in action, don't you know.

  chancho: <Everything we see from Trump lately reflects back to that answer.

I believe it is the only thing that matters now.

Trump lost. It’s a fact. Deal with it or don’t deal with it. I don’t care. But give me an answer to my question.

Naturally I had to wait nearly an hour to ask my question last Friday.

I had already fallen into a mild stupor listening to Trump and four others, including the vice president, bore us with the most callous and obvious lies.

It was like being shot up with propofol. It’s hard to feel anything other than catatonic when Mike Pence tells us the coming vaccine is the cavalry that will save us.

With 250,000 lives lost, the cavalry isn’t here to save us; it’s here for morgue duty.

As Trump faced us he looked small—bored yet nervous.

He seemed unable to stop fidgeting, whether he was rocking slightly, rotating left and right to make eye contact with people or looking intensely at the ground as if it were somehow part of the perceived conspiracy against him.

Sometimes he gazed into the distance, as if wishing he were anywhere but the Rose Garden.

Other times he looked numb. He has winked at me on occasion during similar events. I caught his eye Friday and finally returned the wink.

At one point, as he declared his administration would not order a nationwide lockdown to combat the coronavirus surge, Trump seemed about to mention the incoming Biden administration.

“Whatever happens in the future, who knows which administration it will be.” Then he recovered. But the crack in Donald’s armor was exposed.

The realization is slowly sinking in. It’s a hard trip through a thick head.

The country would be better off if he finishes his grieving process sooner rather than later.

But don’t count on that. Sunday night he apparently blew out his last synapse and tweeted, “I WON THE ELECTION!”

I tweeted back, “I am Spartacus!” Neither is true, but my claim is more plausible.>

  chancho: <Having failed to make even a plausible case of widespread fraud or conspiracy before any court of law, the president has now resorted to overt pressure on state and local officials to subvert the will of the people and overturn the election.it is difficult to imagine a worse, more undemocratic action by a sitting American president.

'Sphincter of fantasy', indeed.

  perfidious: <ohiyuk: <GW: We can't have groups like the Proud Boys terrorizing customers enjoying their meals at restaurants, forcing them to give the Nazi salute or else. That's the Proud Boys. That's what they're doing.>

I recently pointed out the difference between the Proud Boys and BLM. The only response from the America Haters was to question my use of the word "billions" in terms of how much property damage BLM has done....>

There was, to be sure, no shortage of opportunists in on the action when the BLM protestors had their go, so to attribute this solely to the BLM movement is bollocks and smacks of someone who sits before his TV huffing FRH (fundamentalist right-wing horsebleep) while engaging in pseudo-intellectual debate.

<....Liberals don't care so long as they win the next election.>

Is there no shortage of calumnies in your lexicon against those whose beliefs are not as your own? You have become a caricature here.

  perfidious: <chancho: Trump was saying in 2016 the election was <rigged.>

Dominion voting systems were used in that election.

Let that sink in.

He wins, he starts bragging about winning by a landslide....>

All we heard was Le Not So Grand Orange whingeing over losing the popular vote as he took his seat at 1600 Pennsylvania.

<....He says it's rigged in 2020, loses the election, and again: it's rigged!

Blame Dominion voting systems!>

Same as <bumptious termagant the catamite>, he mentally prepared himself for this defeat--had them there excuses all lined up.

<....If it was fraudulent in 2016 according to him, (and he won) how in the hell can it be fraudulent now?!

Trump's accusations don't add up.

But just about anything he says doesn't add up.>

'Boo effing hoo! Why is it always me?'

  perfidious: Rudy Baby at it again, with the massive weight of evidence near to hand:

<'I know crimes, I can smell them. You don’t have to smell this one, I can prove it to you, 18 different ways. I can prove to you that he won, Pennsylvania, by 300,000 votes. I can prove to you that he won Michigan, probably 50,000 votes.'>

Still a-waitin' on the proof, sucka!!

  perfidious: Apres le deluge, 2016, from the Rogovian miasma:

<Obstructionist types such as Boehner and Gingrich could take a lesson from predecessor Carl Albert:

<....Albert seemed to describe himself as a political moderate. He said, he "... very much disliked doctrinaire liberals – they want to own your minds. And I don’t like reactionary conservatives. I like to face issues in terms of conditions and not in terms of someone's inborn political philosophy."....>

In my view, Boehner especially would have far rather pulled down the temple, while in it, than given way to the Democrats in any substantive fashion, the American people be damned.

Like Albert, I have always been sceptical of knee-jerk positions at either end of the political spectrum and would far rather see those in power work to help the people, instead of engaging in rampant corruption or the obstructionism which has become part and parcel of opposition to a sitting Democrat....>

That, ah, poster would far rather create whole new realities, lie and libel others than acknowledge facts they do not wish to hear--same as his hero at 1600 Pennsylvania.
