Sneaky Member since Jan-19-02 · Last seen Mar-04-09 I live in South Florida USA. Rated USCF ~1800 A long time ago I was a new player in a Miami chess park, and one of the stronger players thought I had real talent, so he suggested that I play the park champ, a Cuban master. After the master destroyed me in a few blitz games, the question was posed, "Is he any good?" The answer I took as a great compliment: "Ehh... he tries to be sneaky." The greatest chess player of all time is Robert James Fischer. The greatest chess problemist of all time is Sam Loyd. The greatest chess site of all time is chessgames.com! Other players who I admire: <Morphy> Possibly the greatest natural chess talent ever. Like Steinitz who followed, he taught the world how the game should really be played. <Najdorf> He was smart enough to make his money outside of chess, so he played for the pure joy of it. <Tal> Proved that even in the modern era, chess is an art more than a science. <Blackburne> Sacrificed his queen more times than I've had hot meals. <Diemer> One of the most original thinkers the game ever has known. His ideas were not always right, but they were HIS ideas. <Topalov> He hates draws so much he'll gladly risk losing to avoid one. I can forgive him for the Elista debacle; his chess is payment enough. <Lembit Oll> When on the attack, Lembit Oll said "Dambit All!" <Kasparov> Strive for perfection, one move at a time. <Alekhine> Swashbuckling play culminating in booming sacrifices. And countless others: Nezhmetdinov, Shirov, Nunn, Shabalov, Nakamura, Carlsen, basically, anybody with cojones. You can find me on FICS (freechess.org) ... and lately, on ICC as well. I'll gladly play anybody within 1000 points of my rating.

Mar-04-09 Team White vs Team Black, 2009     Mar-02-09 Sneaky chessforum    Sneaky: <madlydeeply> rofl that's great. IMDB is usually pretty good with such confirmations.      Mar-01-09 L Dominguez vs Carlsen, 2009    Sneaky: <al wazir: Boo!!! 52...Qxb3 was winning. If 53. Qc8+ Kg7 54. Qc2, then 54...Qb2+ 55. Qxb2+ axb2+ 56. Kxb2 g4!!! (That's what the move 48...g5 does.)> I don't have a computer by my side, but it seems to me that after 52...Qxb3? 53.Qh7+ that Black can't take the Queen, nor can he      Mar-01-09 Ivanchuk vs Radjabov, 2009    Sneaky: And the instant I finish typing my longwinded dissertation on why Qd5 is superior than Qd3, GM Ivanchuk plays Qd3. Haha, it never fails.      Mar-01-09 Wang Yue vs Grischuk, 2009    Sneaky: What game next? Of course that would be Carlsen, always.      Mar-01-09 M Umansky vs The World, 2009    Sneaky: <kwgurge: <Sneaky> Was that exchange sac line in the Anti-Moscow variation where black gives up the rook on f7 for play on the g-file?> No, it's somewhere in a line I call the "Capablanca variation" because Jose Raul once tried it. It's part of the Meran Variation.

Sneaky's Shanty

< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 50 OF 50 ·  Later Kibitzing > Jan-22-09    madlydeeply: that is very funny i must admit. I remember Andy once stepped on a loose porchboard...he also had a problem with his "sperms" for a while but it turned out his "sperms" were ok. Ah that was funny. the husband of the high powered evil lady always has a bit role in every david lynch movie..."my dog barks...." in wild at heart...he was the baron's henchman in dune, he was the father in eraserhead etc.. I don't remember him in mulholland drive however. "i fell for you...like a boooommmmmmbbb" Jan-24-09    Sneaky: Another scene just came to my mind.... That "dashing young suitor" you mentioned (I wish I could remember his name), he pulls out a cigarette and turns to slow-witted Andy and says "have you got a light?" Andy starts to search his pockets one by one, then as if he suddenly realizes that he doesn't smoke, says indignantly "No!" So then our dashing young suitor immediately flicks a flame from the lighter he was holding all the while. Hahahahaha Jan-25-09    Sneaky: <Silverstrike> In case you missed it (buried in all this David Lynch babble), my last move was 9...Nb4. I'm not rushing you at all, take your time, this is a casual game. Just want to make sure you didn't overlook it. Jan-25-09    Silverstrike: <Sneaky> Thanks :) I'll get the move to you today. Jan-25-09    Silverstrike: <Sneaky> 9...Nb4 10.Bd3 d5 11.f4 Jan-26-09    Sneaky: How interesting, so now we're looking at this: click for larger view I'll try to get you my move later today. Jan-27-09    Silverstrike: No rush:) Jan-28-09    Sneaky: Thanks.... Jan-31-09    Sneaky: <Silver> OK, I'll follow our "stem game" B Van der Leest vs O Sadallah, 2007 and play 11...Qh4+ Feb-02-09    Silverstrike: I play 12.g3 Feb-03-09    Sneaky: <Silver> I play 12...Nxd3+ and if 13.cxd3, I play ...Qh3 Feb-08-09    Silverstrike: I play 13.Kf2 Feb-13-09    Sneaky: <Silverstrike: I play 13.Kf2> I think you mean you play 14.Kf2, and that you availed yourself of my "if move". (After 12...Nxd3+, then 13.Kf2 would be illegal.) So I'll assume you meant that the game goes 12...Nxd3+ 13.cxd3 Qh3 14.Kf2 giving us this position: click for larger view Now I play 14...d4 Feb-17-09    jessicafischerqueen: <Sneaky: I really am enjoying the lack of computer analysis today. Rybka jockies, no offense, but maybe keep your engines on ice for now.> GREAT post- and well-timed as well. Thank you so much!! Jess Feb-23-09    Silverstrike: 15.Na4 Feb-26-09    Sneaky: <Silver> I play 15...Ng6, so now we're looking at this, with White to Move: click for larger view Quite interesting. Feb-27-09    Silverstrike: 16.f5 Looking forward to some fire play! :P Feb-28-09    Sneaky: <Silverstrike> I play 16...O-O Fiery enough for ya? :-) Mar-01-09    Silverstrike: We'll see ;-) Mar-02-09    madlydeeply: Hey Sneaky I had a moment of weakness (4 hours) last night and watched tv...I saw "the return of the king" hobbit movie and i SWEAR the crazy "Steward of Minas Trith" was that same dashing man in Men's Fashion from Twin peaks! Older and long haired in the movie. I need a confirmation. Hmmm Maybe I can dig up photos... Mar-02-09    madlydeeply: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_UXXtCpkeK... this is an awsome photo HA!: http://garmonbozia.us/tp/charpics/d... Mar-02-09    Silverstrike: 17.Bd2 Mar-02-09    Sneaky: <Silver> I play 17...Bxf5 Mar-02-09    Sneaky: <madlydeeply> rofl that's great. IMDB is usually pretty good with such confirmations.
