Apr-07-26 Chessgames - Sports    WannaBe: In case I forgot, congrats to them Lady Bruins. =)) U. Mich (69-63) won, but the last spread I saw was -6.5, so if you took UConn w/ spread, you got very lucky, if you bet on them U. Mich, I feel bad; the O/U was 148.5      Apr-06-26 Fusilli chessforum   WannaBe: You too <Fusilli>      Apr-05-26 Chessgames - Odd Lie   WannaBe: Gotta double-triple check for typos in the future, what is "coving my neighbor's wife"?? Are we doves?      Apr-01-26 OhioChessFan chessforum   WannaBe: <OCF> I will now have be a wabbit and dig dipper into Camp Washington Chili. Never hoid of them, don't know if they are canned, fast food, grocery store, etc. Will keep you updated.      Mar-21-26 Chessgames - TV and Films    WannaBe: <CIO> LOL. I remember those mems... <chancho> North by Norwest, totally agree, the audiences know that the plane scene was filmed earlier and played on a screen behind. It was still drama. Same thing with the Mt. Rushmore chase scene.      Mar-18-26 Chessgames - Politics    WannaBe: <plang> Do you have a link to where you got that information/data from? I would love to read it for myself.      Mar-16-26 WannaBe chessforum    WannaBe: Future research project, how did Offenbach - Orpheus in the Underworld became "Can Can" and women kicking legs before the Radio City Hall Rocketts. An history that probably need some "Lookin Into"      Mar-13-26 chessgames.com chessforum    WannaBe: ¡Olé! ¡Olé! this is what I see for "¡Olé! ¡Olé!" (game of the day Mar-13-2026) I also know this issue have been around for a while, and it's not that important, in IT term, it is a level 'C', cosmetic fix. But I just wish to report it again. Can CG.com unify this ...      Mar-11-26 Sebastien Feller    WannaBe: <FSR> March 11 is his birthday, and usually PoD is chosen from the birth date of the player. So unless CG.com decides to change the algorithm on how PoD is decided. We will randomly get "undesired" player(s).      Mar-05-26 G Timoscenko vs Karpov, 1967   WannaBe: So, strictly out of "Morbid Curiosity", I requested an analysis of the position: 1) +12.62 (22 ply) 55...Ke6 56. Nc6 Bg2 57. Nxa7 Ba8 58. Nc6 Kd7 59. Ne5+ Ke6 60. Nxg6 Be4 61. b6 f4 62. Nxf4+ Kf5 63. g6 Kg4 64. b7 Kxg3 65. b8=Q Kf3 66. g7 Bh7 67. g8=Q Bxg8 68. Qxg8 Ke3 69. a7 Ke4 ...

< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 522 OF 754 ·  Later Kibitzing> May-13-14    WannaBe: Good Luck Against Team "England". =) May-14-14    FSR: As you may recall, my first game against <zzurc> of <Immortal Kings> [sic] went 1.a3?! d5!! and <zzurc> flagged. My second game has now concluded in similar fashion: [Event "Team match"] [Site "http://gameknot.com/chess.pl?bd=211..."] [Date "2014.05.13"] [Round "-"] [White "krakatoa1"] [Black "zzurc"] [Result "1-0"] [WhiteElo "2045"] [BlackElo "2025"] [TimeControl "1/432000"] [Mode "ICS"] [Termination "time forfeit"] 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 e5 3. dxe5 Ng4 4. Bf4 Nc6 5. Nf3 Bb4+ 6. Nbd2 Qe7 7. e3 Ngxe5 8. Nxe5 Nxe5 9. Be2 O-O 10. O-O Bxd2 11. Qxd2 d6 12. b4 a5 13. a3 Rd8 14. Qc3 I didn't realize it at the time, but we are following, move for move, Smyslov vs L Blackstock, 1988. Blackstock played 14...f6 with a solid position, but was ground down in 62. White is a little better, but I am not Smyslov. Here my opponent found a stunning innovation: 1-0 (time)! This already gives us a victory in the 2-board match, since <rookie879 / just a kid> has (so far) won one of his two games against his <Immortal King>, <spero5>. (He actually had to win the game instead of having the guy flag in a book position.) http://gameknot.com/team-match.pl?b... We're thus 3-0 so far, and can't do worse than 3-1. Yay, us! May-14-14    WannaBe: <FSR> Let me know if you are ready for more games. May-14-14    FSR: <WannaBe> I'll take one more opponent right now. Thanks. May-14-14    WannaBe: Good Luck Against "~~ Chess_Nuts International~~". May-15-14    WannaBe: Very interesting, that many private schools are amongst the top, e.g. Duke, Stanford, Rice, Notre Dame. But boy, UCLA is #2 in the Pac and 'SC with Cal is near the bottom. 'SC, I can understand, but Cal?!!? http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/ncaaf... May-15-14    Mating Net: Speaking of sports, are you running the World Cup predictions this summer Bugsy? If so, I will submit my best guesses. May-15-14    WannaBe: <Mating Net> Funny you asked, <Nako> and I were talking about this when we were having lunch a few weeks ago... We were wondering if I should do it, or he do it using my forum. Either way is fine/cool with me. So, short answer is <YES> there will be one. Details next week. =)) May-15-14    Mating Net: Awesome news! Great minds think alike,lol. I will have to consult my double secret tea leaves and nail down some winners. May-15-14    WannaBe: Tomorrow night, at Anaheim, California: Kings-Ducks Game 7, Stanley Cup Play-off, cheapest ticket 120 bucks Tampa Bay-Angels, cheapest ticket 10 bucks May-15-14    NakoSonorense: Have you ever been to a Hockey game? I'd like to go to one, but I'm not sure if it's enjoyable. I mean, the puck is so small that you wouldn't even be able to see it. May-15-14    NakoSonorense: <So, short answer is <YES> there will be one. Details next week. =))> I forgot about the scoring system I used last time. I guess I can open my forum again. I mean, as long as it's for a good cause! May-15-14    WannaBe: <NakoSonorense> Been to more hockey games than I have chess wins. The trick, is to watch the players (same on TV) not try to find the puck. Been a Kings fan since they were called Princes. I find it also true watching tennis, if the player runs to the right, that's where the ball is headed. =)) Re: World Cup Prediction, when I did it, you pick the 2 group winners, each right is 1 pt (total 16) 1/8 round is worth 2 pts for right pick, 1/4 round is 4 pts, 1/2 is 8pts and final is 16 pts. And it was done in 2 stages, group play and then knock-out play. So if someone missed group prediction, they can still join for knock-out. You can use my forum, as always. =) May-15-14    NakoSonorense: <WannaBe: <NakoSonorense> Been to more hockey games than I have chess wins> Oh, so you've been to at least 2 games... May-15-14    WannaBe: 3! 3 games. =))) May-16-14    SugarDom: Brazil or Argentina will win football world cup. May-16-14    Mating Net: The Kings are favorites tonight. They have a huge advantage with Quick. Hard to see Gibson outplaying Quick in a game 7. May-16-14    WannaBe: <Mating Net> Okay, we are jinx'd... By the way, the team that scored first, have won that game. Which means it will be 0-0 after 3 periods tonight. May-16-14    Mating Net: The Kings played their best game of the playoffs against San Jose in game 7. I expect something similar tonight. Sure, it's always better to play with the lead when you can rely on Quick to hold the fort. I didn't realize that all the games were decided by the team scoring first, definitely something to look for. May-16-14    WannaBe: Brilliant!!! http://news.yahoo.com/nitrogen-cock... May-16-14    Mating Net: No way the Ducks score 4 on Quick to win. May-16-14    WannaBe: Ducks need to score 5! May-16-14    Mating Net: I stand corrected, 5, cinco! May-16-14    Mating Net: Getzlaf & Perry are both -3 and Perry misses a penalty shot, love it. May-16-14    WannaBe: Make that 6... =)) Jump to page #   (enter # from 1 to 754) search thread:    < Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 522 OF 754 ·  Later Kibitzing>
