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

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.

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 ...

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).

  WannaBe: I love this quote, but can't find the players page. Spelling of last name perhaps? I ended up finding Jacquiline instead.

Those who know the marvels of chess and wonder why this game of all games does not enjoy greater popularity may also ask why Pepsi-Cola is consumed by more people than Chateau Lafite, or the Beatles are more familiar than Beethoven. - Gregor Piatigorsky

Apr-03-15  technical draw: <Gregor Piatigorsky>?

He wasn't a chess player but one of the world's greatest cellist.

  WannaBe: Does he know how to play "Autumn Leaves"??
Apr-03-15  Mating Net: I would rather waste my time playing chess, than waste it reading http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pygm...(play) Mating Net
Apr-03-15  technical draw: I met Gregor Piatigorsky in a chess tournament. He was a chess fan and patron. He took time before a concert to watch the final match of a tournament between Robert Byrne and Julio Kaplan (Byrne won). He had a young man carrying his cello case. Probably an aide or his son. The year was 1966 or 67.

No one asked him to play Autumn Leaves.

The UCLA women team won the NIT tournament, and T-shirts are on sale.

Ugh.
