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 ...

(logged me out, whatever you want to call it...) Grrrrrrr!!! Aug-10-15    RonB52734: Hi <WannaBe>. I'm back after a long winter's nap. How are things? Aug-10-15    WannaBe: <RonB52734> Great, saw your post at CG.com support forum. =) Been a loooooooong time! Aug-10-15    RonB52734: Yeah, the kids ran away to college. Figured I needed to save every nickel I could for a while. I'm beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel. But what is that loud whistle I hear?

Bc4 Bxf7+ 4. Kd7 Kc7 5. Nc3 Qg4 1-0 In order to not lose the game (immediately), I have to move my king further outside the pawn protection. White threatens knight check by going to d5 or b5. Black can prolong the game by 6. Kb6 Ka5/Ka6 both would result in a first move check by white. Aug-11-15    SwitchingQuylthulg: <WannaBe> 6.Nd7 Kb8 would have avoided immediate mate, I think. (It does run into 7.Qxd7 Qxd8, so your 6.1-0! was probably better.) Aug-11-15    WannaBe: If you don't like it, pass it on to me! https://www.yahoo.com/autos/s/spoil... Aug-11-15    WannaBe: Went back to using IE, not gonna use Edge anymore. Minor complaint on IE (Win10) is that if you have more than 3 tabs open, the far right tabs overlap the min, max, and close 'X' at the upper right hand corner. (At least with my resolution and font settings...) Aug-11-15    WannaBe: Today is the second Tuesday of the month, so I installed the latest Win10 patches. After reboot, my mouse refused to work. Had to unplug the USB and move it to another USB port. Ugh!! Also noticed, after my initial upgrade and each patch, desktop always have the system file "Desktop", this never happened with Win7. Alt + Tab behaviour is very very different from Win7. I can't use Alt + Tab to jump from application to application like I used to. Another big Ugh!! Aug-12-15    WannaBe: So... From reading an article on a site, led me to an article on Wiki (because I have never heard of this term before...) led me to this page: http://faq.ph/10-signs-that-a-perso... Wow, I learned so much in that short 5 min of reading!! Aug-12-15    OhioChessFan: Little Charlie and the Nightcats -My Next Ex-Wife https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dcg... Aug-16-15    WannaBe: So, finally, after 5 of my friends recommended Dexter I saw the first episode... Does that mean my friends think I have a killer personality? Aug-17-15    juan31: < WannaBe > : Of course you're are invited to the <♔ Game Prediction Contest for Sinquefield Cup 2015 ♔> Golden Executive forum. Line-up: Carlsen, Caruana, Nakamura, Anand, Topalov, So, Grischuk, Giri, Aronian, Vachier-Lagrave. <Stay Tuned> < We hope your attendance> Aug-18-15    WannaBe: Man, if I <EVER> get rich (enough), I'm gonna turn my basement to look like Cheers! https://www.yahoo.com/food/this-cou... Aug-18-15    NakoSonorense: Dexter is awesome! I watched all seasons on Netflix a few months ago. Aug-18-15    WannaBe: <NakoSonorense> Almost done with Season 1, 3 more episodes left... Aug-19-15    WannaBe: http://finance.yahoo.com/news/hacke... <CybelAngel also said it counted some 15,000 .gov or .mil addresses in the dump, suggesting that American soldiers, sailors and government employees had opened themselves up to possible blackmail. Using a government email to register for an adultery website may seem foolish, but CybelAngel Vice President of Operations Damien Damuseau said there was a certain logic to it. Using a professional address, he said, keeps the messages out of personal accounts "where their partner might see them." "It's not that dumb," Damuseau said.> Huh?!!? It's not dumb?? It's plain STUPID!! Get yourself another FREAKIN' email account, they are free!! Obviously the trolls here on CG are smart enough to get free email account, create another handle on CG and keep trollin'. But .gov and .mil people don't know how to create a free account! Go figure. Aug-19-15    WannaBe: We have some "Brilliant" criminals, here: http://www.eater.com/2015/2/23/8093... http://www.eater.com/2015/8/18/9174... Aug-19-15    Penguincw: I also heard of some story about a criminal who tried to rob a bank, but at that very moment, he received a phone call saying he won a contest. Over the phone (and with the bank teller right there), he surrendered all his personal info, including his full name, address, phone number, etc. Is it true or did someone make it up? Either way, that would be a <great> way to get arrested/caught. Aug-20-15    perfidious: Sounds like a nominee for a Darwin Award, if true. Aug-20-15    Jim Bartle: The Woody Allen movie "Radio Days" opened with something vaguely similar. Two robbers were ransacking the house of a family vacation. The phone rings, it's a radio contest, they answer the questions right. The family returns from vacation to find everything stolen. Then later that day a truck arrives full of all the prizes they had "won" in the contest.
