Sep-11-08 Znosko-Borovsky vs M Lewitt, 1906    kevin86: After 26...h8 27 g6 xh3 (      Sep-11-08 K Grigorian vs Tal, 1973    kevin86: A very good game by white. The attack was brilliant and effective against the former WC. Tal tried all of the tricks that he had,but couldn't overcome white's pawn advantage.      Sep-10-08 kevin86 chessforum    kevin86: My 4500th post goes to me:Happy Birthday-glad to share the day with Arnold Palmer,who is 79 today. I could have a birthday cake,but it would be a fire hazard. A chess position that makes many a player quit,due to its complexity. [DIAGRAM] /      Sep-10-08 Petrosian vs A Matanovic, 1959    kevin86: I had no shot at this one. I briefly looked at Rxd6-but it seems to go nowhere.      Sep-10-08 Bogoljubov vs Alekhine, 1922    kevin86: It seems that I am not the only person who holds this game in high regard. Black sacrifices or exchanges three queens and two rooks. I especially enjoy the three moves by each:black's 29-31 and white's 30-32. Black advances a pawn three times,capturing a queen-while white captures a      Sep-09-08 R Kuijf vs I Rogers, 1989    kevin86: I missed this because I was looking for a mate after Qd8+. This seems to be too complicated for a Tuesday...      Sep-09-08 Carlsen vs Aronian, 2008    kevin86: A nice finish-white is finally able to capture the impudent black pawn.(After 37 Be2) The knight cannot guard b4 via a6 or d3 because of the sentry bishop and the same knight blocks his own king forom the b4 square.      Sep-08-08 Onischuk vs Shabalov, 2007    kevin86: What am I missing? After 26...xc3,black has two bishops and a knight for a queen and bishop---or will the "twin pin" following 27 xc6      Sep-08-08 Keene vs E Fielder, 1964    kevin86: This is about a picturesque game as I've ever seen. In less than 20 moves we have: a queen sacrifice two rooks captured by minor pieces in the corner a pin on the queen. a fork of queen,king,and bishop. In fact in the final position,only the sole bishop on h5 is NOT under attack.      Sep-08-08 G Vescovi vs R Szuhanek, 1994   kevin86: The idea of this one is to get the pawns off the g-file. The sac removes black's and the combination following takes away white's. The big,bad rook then dominates and the end is very near

< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 3 OF 3 ·  Later Kibitzing > Nov-27-06    tpstar: <kevin86> Congratulations on reaching 3000. =) I really enjoy your posts - very creative wordplay. Have a great holiday season. Nov-27-06    Rocafella: 3000, wow, that's some feat, well done! Dec-08-06    kevin86: I found an avatar that fits my favorite team-the Iowa Hawkeyes-I'm also quite a corny person with corny jokes. Dec-08-06    WannaBe: Yes, you have quite the 'ear' for corny jokes. =) Dec-08-06    technical draw: Yes, <Wannabe> you always pop up with something. Dec-14-06    Rocafella: <WannaBe> You just got 'creamed' ;>) Dec-14-06    WannaBe: I feel like being stalked by <Rocafella>, and I fail to see a single kernel of humour in all this. Dec-14-06    Rocafella: <WanneBe> I am a stalker ;) What are you wearing? lmao Dec-15-06    kevin86: I have yet another reason for choosing my avatar:my favoriteplayer on the Iowa basketball team is names,Seth Gorney-no kidding-ah,maybe a little-but it's true. Nicknamed:Gorndog-not to be confused with Brian the Dog-voiced by another Seth. Dec-16-06    Rocafella: That joke was very gorney ;) Mar-06-07    kevin86: Nobody has posted here all year. How sad! I guess I'll have to. Mar-06-07    technical draw: <kevin86: Nobody has posted here all year. How sad! I guess I'll have to.> Reasons why: 1. It's not corn season 2. You don't lend an ear to what is said. 3. I don't want you to think I'm stalking you. 4. Only those ranked colonel and above can post here. 5. Iowa backwards is awol... Mar-07-07    kevin86: Three punny quotes related to ears (and hearing) 1"Friends,Romans,countrymen- lend me your ears" : Julius Caesar 2 "I'm all ears":H Ross Perot,1992 presidential campaign. 3 "Do you hear me now?" :Verizon commercial. ------------ If you merge Hawkeyes and Buckeyes together you get a bunch of crossed eyes from OHIOWA. Jun-29-07    kevin86: I just passed entry number 3500! Holy Cow! Jul-20-07    kevin86: I see that no one is posting here,but you all are stalking about me-my ears are burning-lol JASON LIVES!!! Jul-20-07    YouRang: I hope that a year and 2 days isn't too long of a lapse to reply to someone's post :-) <meloncio: <YouRang>< I heard that "Osco", when pronounced, is essentially as Spanish word that means "I vomit".> Yes, but not exactly. When pronoucing 'Osco', maybe it sounds like the Spanish word "asco", whose meaning is "loathing, disgust, revulsion". I like a lot this kind of funny stories. :-)> Interesting that you *sort of* confirm the "Osco" name thing, although snopes dismissed it: http://www.snopes.com/business/misx... Perhaps the name "Osco" resembles "asco", which means revulsion, but this still wasn't the (stated) reason for the failure of Osco drug stores. Either way, changing the name to Osco was a dumb idea. Jul-20-07    YouRang: Oh yes, we were discussing marketing blunders... -- The company Electrolux, a Scandinavian company that manufactures and sells vacuum cleaners, first attempted to market in the United States in the 1970s. Their chosen slogan was, "Nothing sucks like an Electrolux." -- A German consumer goods company that tried to market and sell toilet paper and other paper goods in the United States named their goods, "Krapp." -- When Pepsi tried to use its slogan, "Come Alive with Pepsi" in Japan, the translation came to mean, "Bring back your dead ancestors with Pepsi." -- Frank Perdue's chicken slogan, "It takes a strong man to make a tender chicken" was translated into Spanish as "It takes an aroused man to make a chicken affectionate." Sep-10-07    WannaBe: Well, Happy Boithday! Sep-26-07    willyfly: I am not FREE - I am affordable, reasonably priced Willy and I am guessing that the Fly you are referring to is the movie where the guy becomes part Fly while experimenting with a transporter device. FREE might be a third cousin twice removed or a second cousin thrice removed. Actually the name comes from a song - "Will he go round in circles? Will he fly high like a bird up in the sky?" (I needed to think of a name for an email account a long time ago.) As for the necktie? It just tells what kind of a guy I am. I am a croupier - that is - a dealer in a casino. So - as you can imagine I get teased a lot for the Willy name. It's all for fun. Thanks for stopping by my profile.

Oct-23-07    ketchuplover: I like your favorite players :) Oct-24-07    LivBlockade: Let me guess - your favorite baseball player of all time is Ty Cobb.
