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).

  chancho: The add on is only supported by opera 11 and 12.
Apr-17-15
Premium Chessgames Member
  WannaBe: <chancho> Hmmm... I take it, that you can't update your Opera?
Apr-18-15  chessmoron: <WannaBe> Opera's current version is 28.0.
Apr-18-15
Premium Chessgames Member
  chancho: I have Opera 28.

<The add on is only supported by opera 11 and 12.> that's the message I get from the link you sent me when I try to download it.

  WannaBe: <chancho> I just tried it on my IE, and I see that IMDB uses flash, (maybe check and see if you have the latest flash player from Adobe?)

I did get a flash error message once the preview was over. It's possible that Opera did not render the film clip because of it?

I may have to download and try it with an Opera browser...

  chancho: I downloaded Flash Player and IMDB trailers work on IE, but when I try Opera, no dice.

  WannaBe: <chancho> Hmmm... Okay, let me see what I can find out.

  WannaBe: <chancho> I just installed Opera, and when I go to imdb I get all text, no picture of any kind...

Let me try a couple other ones.

  WannaBe: Hey, great, none of the browser are showing imdb.com correctly. Even IE...
Apr-18-15
Premium Chessgames Member
  WannaBe: I can still see imdb.com using my home PC, which means one of the browser setting at work is screwing things up...

I added a plug-in called NoFlash, which is suppose to control/allow flash activities. I think that is what screwed it.

  chancho: <WannaBe> I guess I'll have to go to IE for watching movie trailers in IMDB.

If you can find a solution to the Opera issue, let me know.

Thanks.

I also noticed that on YouTube, when I choose a video, it shows a gray area and a play button on the video screen.

I press that, and it goes black and says an error occurred.

I refresh the page, press play, and then it shows the video.

Opera stinks!

Looks like I'd have to remove that 2 Nobel Prize for Phyzics, 1 Pulitzer for Non-Fiction Historical-Drama, 2 Oscars for Best Original Screen Play Based on Actual Event (Short Film Category) and how I wiped out Magnus Carlsen 7-0 while blind fold 2-minute blitz from LinkedIn.

  WannaBe: Sumthin' went horribly wrong for white here... Was it poison pawn?

[Event "Challenge from wannabecg"]
[Site "http://gameknot.com/"]
[Date "2015.04.27"]
[Round "-"]
[White "wannabecg"]
[Black "pyke"]
[Result "0-1"]
[WhiteElo "1470"]
[BlackElo "1714"]

1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. d4 exd4 4. Nxd4 Bc5 5. Be3 Qf6 6. c3 Nge7 7. g3 h5 8. f4 d5 9. Nxc6 Bxe3 10. Nxe7 Qxe7 11. Qxd5 Bg4 12. Qd3 Bb6 13. Nd2 Rd8 14. Qc2 Qc5 15. Be2 Qf2+ 16. Kd1 Qxe2+ 17. Kc1 Be3 0-1

Apr-28-15  Pyke: Hi <WannaBe>, I think that 15. Be2 was a mistake. 15. Nc4 was better, attacking the Bishop on b6 and more importantly, covering d3 - and simultaneously allowing the Queen to cover your second rank.

But White's position was difficult already. I think White would have had to challenge the Bishop on g4 earlier, by playing Be2. But that's just a guess. I will have to analyse in more detail. Also I didn't like all the pawn moves on the Kingside.

But now, on to our second game!
