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 558 OF 754 ·  Later Kibitzing> May-29-15    Fusilli: Example of mouse slip. ICC 5-minute game. Someone v Fusilli. So, the strange/crazy opening that white played led to enormous black advantage by move 10 already. Here: click for larger view ... I picked up my queen to play 10...Qd4. But then my stupid mouse decided, as soon as I picked up the queen, that I was dropping it already, so I found myself playing the ridiculous 10...Qd7 instead. I guess I was lucky... it could have been 10...Qd6?? or 10...Qd5?? (In either case I would have resigned at once. I never ask or give takebacks.) Black is still better, but I would have been much better with 10...Qd4. So, he plays 11.Bxf4 (which turns out to be very bad. He had to play 11.Bb2 and black's better), and I play now, with a loss of a tempo, 11...Qd4, and he retreats with 12.Bd2, to protect the N on c3. Now, in this position: click for larger view What would you play? May-30-15    WannaBe: <Fusilli> I'd play 12...Bg4 May-30-15    spirit: How're u doing old friend? May-30-15    Fusilli: <WannaBe: <Fusilli> I'd play 12...Bg4> ... which is a natural move. I played 12...Nc6, also a natural move. Then, I ran the game by Stockfish and... 12...Re5! wins on the spot! (I've taken to running my blitz games through Stockfish to see what tactical issues I have to work on, or if I conducted attacks properly, etc. It's fun to find surprising misses.) May-30-15    Fusilli: <WannaBe: That's just not nice!! http://gizmodo.com/a-simple-text-ca... (I have an Android phone...)> Ha ha, your last sentence precluded the inevitable "what's your number?" :) This is really awful. I assume Apple will come up with a fix in no time. Did they already? BTW, speaking of phones... I have an android too, and alternate between my awfully slow typing and my accent-ridden tries at the voice to text feature (the accent results in misunderstandings that I need to edit, but if I speak slowly and enunciating well, it usually goes through flawlessly). So, when I google-search, the keyboard has replaced the microphone icon with a smiley face icon. Any idea why it did that? This is only for the Google search feature. In the text message keyboard, for example, I still have the mike. I found this: http://forums.androidcentral.com/t-..., but that is not it. I do have the Google Voice Typing option selected, to no avail. May-30-15    WannaBe: <Fusilli> OK 12...Re5! with the intent of 13...Rf5 and pin. <spirit> Great, having a jolly good ol' time. As always. =) May-30-15    Fusilli: <WannaBe: <Fusilli> OK 12...Re5! with the intent of 13...Rf5 and pin.> Yes, and there is no defense. If I had told you "Black to play and win", you would have seen it. But I tricked you with a more innocuous question. ;) And that's where the problem with tactics training lies... In the real world no one taps on your shoulder to let you know that this is the moment when you have a winning move. That's why I am a big fan of training going over full games (such as the Guess the Move feature) than going over diagrams of the "White/Black to move" type. Jun-05-15    Robin01: Triple Crown? Jun-05-15    WannaBe: <Robin01> i hope to see one before I die, tomorrow may be it. =) Jun-05-15    WannaBe: So, you really like that Mac, huh? http://money.cnn.com/2015/06/05/tec... Jun-06-15    WannaBe: About an hour to race time, probably will be the most exciting 2 and half minutes... Jun-06-15    WannaBe: And they are in!!! Jun-06-15    WannaBe: Triple Crown Winner!!!! Jun-08-15    WannaBe: Apple announces iOS9 will be released this fall, with split screen for iPad: http://www.theverge.com/2015/6/8/87... Errrr, hello Apple, Samsung Galaxy already have that capability. Here's the article/review published in 2013. That's right, 2013!! http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/ta... Jun-08-15    WannaBe: Ooops, looks like that split screen feature will not work on my (company issued) iPad. http://finance.yahoo.com/news/apple... Only iPad Air 2 (latest iPad) will have this capability. Not sure if it's a CPU, or RAM (1G) limitation... Maybe I'll splurge some $$ and get that Samsung Galaxy Android Phablet. Jun-08-15    WannaBe: Sydney Leroux, my newest future ex-wife!!! Jun-10-15    WannaBe: The editor who came up with "Headless body in topless bar" have passed away. http://news.yahoo.com/man-wrote-hea... =( Jun-10-15    WannaBe: Really bad time to get your Doctorate, job market really sucks right now. http://news.yahoo.com/102-old-jewis... Congratulations. =)) Jun-10-15    WannaBe: Nice, just "destroyed" a 2012R2 (Virtual Machine) server by un-installing a feature, and apparently I did this by 'accidentally' selecting/deleting the .NET Framework. https://www.google.com/#q=server+20... Time to wipe out this VM and start over... Jun-10-15    WannaBe: Joyce Carol Oates!? I thought she was more smartest than that... https://www.yahoo.com/movies/jurass... Oh, well, as P.T. said, sucker born every minute. Jun-11-15    playground player: <WannaBe> As a literary darling of the academic world, Joyce Carol Oates has no need to be smart. Seems she's never read <Jurassic Park>. Well, Serious Mainstream Literature aficionados don't like a story with a beginning, a middle, and an end. That's why JCO's stories always peter out without any kind of satisfactory resolution. Jun-11-15    WannaBe: Freakin' Stupid Microsoft... Installing SharePoint Foundation 2010 on that 2012R2 Server, ASP .Net 3.5 was not installed. So what happens, in the middle of the long debug log it shows what's wrong. (It doesn't go out and download/install ASP .Net) After manually installing the feature, (Using the 2013R2 install DVD) SharePoint 2010 Foundation is rolling along doing its installation thing. But it knows to go out and download/install SQL Reporting!! Grrrrrrrrrr Jun-11-15    Annie K.: <WannaBe> hi, Hanh found Lei Tingjie in Chinese! :) Annie K. chessforum (kibitz #5844) Jun-11-15    WannaBe: Starting over (third time) on that stupid 2012R2 VM... Grrrrrr Jun-11-15    WannaBe: CIA have a sense of humour, twits cat photo. https://gma.yahoo.com/why-cia-tweet...
