WannaBe: Another not important thing that I noticed, as a premium member when I visit ChessGames.com Statistics Page page, I see ads. Not that a big deal. Sure CG.com have more important things to fix.

  saffuna: Pretty good Onion-type fake article, saying an NHL rookie named Auston Matthews scored on his first three shots ever. I almost could have believed it, but then the writer went too far, and said Matthews plays for the Toronto Maple Leafs, and I know that can't be true.
Oct-15-16  NakoSonorense: Hi, <Shams>! Yeah, everything's well. How've you been?

I haven't been around cg.com a lot lately... I've been distracted by other things. I still play online chess every now and then, mostly on FICS. Sometimes I also play by the beach at the Santa Monica Chess Park. But I'm not sure how good that is for improving your skills, as there are gorgeous girls walking by. Very easy to lose your focus!

Oct-17-16  Travis Bickle: <WannaBe: When 'Dogs win, books win.> That's been a suspicion of mine for awhile.. Do the odds makers (leg breakers) have a say in the outcome... Via paying off certain ref's, umpires, crooked zebra's & players on the take.

  tpstar: <WannaBe> Off and on for a special project. Lots of advanced mental illness lately, but the end justifies the means.

Remember that guy who sabotaged the site awards? Beware him and his surrogates for the next month.

Take care. =)

Oct-24-16  Abdel Irada: ∞

<tpstar> didn't close his forum. The site closed it for him after he used it to post links to pictures of <User not found>'s 12-year-old sister and 14-year-old niece.

As for "mental illness," <tpstar> probably has more experience with that than anyone else on the site.

  WannaBe: I think I saw the documentary on this, Otto Pilot had to take over, and then they had to belly land in Chicago with an ex-fighter pilot taking control of the plane.

But the ex-fighter pilot had a drinking problem.
