Apr-24-06  Whitehat1963: The Rock has been around for a long time. And compared to Steinitz, he indeed plays like a rock.
Apr-24-06  Whitehat1963: Yo, Adrian?

Apr-25-06  Whitehat1963: He'll knock ya to tomorrow, Rock!
Nov-01-07  tanuri: that was 4 attempts already Whitehat, it was a good target for humour, but you haven't reached it yet.
Nov-15-07  whiteshark: We will, we will Rock you !!!!

Jul-22-08  jimx: So the smell from the Rock's cooking is actually the rancid funk from this stinker of a game? No wonder he changed careers (repeatedly). He's looking good for his age though.

Jul-22-08  gBizzle: It's the wrestler/action movie star. He travelled back in time in one of his movies and after beating up people, he lost to Steinitz.
Jul-22-08  PinnedPiece: <hitman84: I love Rock NN Roll>

That's art. You're a musician, gotta be. Your own independent studio?

Jul-22-08  neveramaster: Perhaps the Ro in Rock stands for "rook odds". CK could be his actual initials.
Oct-05-08  ILikeFruits: ba rock...

Aug-10-09  whiteshark: Quote of the Day

" Whenever you have to make a Rock move and both rooks are available, you should evaluate which Rock to move and, once you have made up your mind... move the other one! "

-- Oscar Panno

Aug-10-09  drukenknight: the best idea is to look up and study your opponents eyes. Whatever one he is looking at: move the other one. Works every time.
