Play online chess |  Subject: Blitz:a poor gambit & misc other comments
Message:
Hello, I have not seen a blitz thread recently. So here's one. You don't have to stick my area
of comment on it. Post other blitz thoughts, games, ettiquette, good, bad, amusing, or a
Maytag washing machine ... all these things can come from a blitz game. Or wait, was that
from a Black Hole? Well close enough, we'll lump it in. Here's my peeve for the day ....
* * *
You are playing along, after mutual Hello's were exchanged at the onset or there abouts. Find
yourself in a winning position coming out of the opening, but already a minute and half down
on time ... suddenly your opponent decides it would be nice to know where you are from, the
annual rainfall there, and name of your firstborn.
So okay, am I just getting grumpy? Maybe its just a matter of they figure "the games about
over" lets talk now. I can understand that. But it makes me wonder . . . especially if I have
two minutes left and it gets chatty.
Should I have a Notepad or perhaps Paste set up beforehand to send in this situation?
Should it say, "Hey I love to chat, let's do some PM's after this game, or just stay on and chat
here! Right now, I got to play." or would I be better with:
"Ja, Hi Hi. Hello hey. How today are you? " "Do speaks you some eastern Irutuskan?"
"Goodf good? Ja or no? No more Englis I have" "Potensky andrejez undta das hasta faux
tempus gleeban ola' schach de monkay?" .
Or option #3 ...
Oh I love to chat! I am from America, Iowa, 4th hill north of Berry Creek! Where you from?
How far is that from you? I have played 20 years, when did you start? Did your Mom teach
you? What do you do? Do you like this opening? What's it called? What time is it at your
house? Why do you like Chess? What other games have you played? Where else do you play?
What are your ratings there? Who do you know there? If I visit you do they Pepsi there? Who
are your top ten chess players of alltime? Why do you think so? You are good, I bet you playt
tournaments! What happened at your last tournament? Do you know how that 3 times draw
works? I don't get it ... can you explain? Briefs or boxers? Taco's or Pizza? Britney or Kristina?
Miller's or Bud? BTW
Are you are Girl? How old are you, 21? Can you prove that? Or did you mean "12" like Ten
plus Two, LOL ...haha
* * * * * * * * *
You DID ... um lol !?

GAME ABANDONED, YOU HAVE WON

Solving Bobby Fischer (book review) — In the summer of 1972, the world’s attention was directed toward Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland, to watch a championship chess match. Called “the Match of the Century,” the contest between the Russian chess champion, Boris Spassky, and the American challenger, Bobby Fischer, attracted that attention because of its cold war implications. But people were also fascinated by the mercurial Fischer — a prototypical genius whose incessant demands and unpredictability were more associated with the behavior of a diva than with what one expects from a master of a demanding game of logic. Fischer won the chess match in brilliant style, setting off a wave of enthusiasm for ...

Vasily Ivanchuk and Nigel Short produce memorable finish in Gibraltar — Gibraltar, backed by Tradewise Insurance, is the world's strongest open chess event next to Moscow Aeroflot. Its latest edition produced a memorable race as Vasily Ivanchuk and Nigel Short finished clear of the field with 9 and 8.5/10. The Ukrainian won their individual game, both had very high rating performances and Ivanchuk jumped to No5 in the world. Tradewise Gibraltar overlaps with the great Dutch chess event at Wijk and Zee and its dates are close to Aeroflot, yet it continues to gain in popularity due to the Rock's benign January climate, its high prizes and its efficient and friendly organisers. Its awards for women start with £10,000 for first, more than the winning man receives at ...

... Generally I would be concentrating so heavily on the game it would take several moves before any message would impress itself on my consciousness. OK, it wiould take a while for me to notice. Now, being pretty unhandy with the keyboard, it would also take a long time for me to couch any kind of response. So anyone wanting to chat would have to be v-e-r-y p-a-t-i-e-n-t. Quite a few weren't, but most were. Of course we didn't get to say much...

King Tut in Chess Puzzles — King Tutankhamun, or simply King Tut, is the most famous Egyptian pharaoh. He was called the boy-king since he was only nine-years-old when his 10-year reign began in 1,333 B.C. He died at the age of 19 and his tomb, undisturbed for 3,245 years, was well-preserved when it was discovered in 1922 by Howard Carter. King Tut's golden burial mask became the symbol of ancient Egypt. But how did he make it into chess? Protecting a king is vital in every chess game and pawns are best suited to do the job. When the pawns surround the king in chess problems and studies, we see some beautiful and astonishing creations. Entombing the king became a popular theme among chess composers ...
