 | | kutztown46: <chesstoplay> You win the prize for most observant. Yes, I think you spent some time looking at that same position recently. Thanks for the compliments on our dogs and our area.
The smorgasbord I spoke of in the Lancaster area is the Shady Maple. Here is a link: http://shady-maple.com/smorgasbord
It would be our pleasure to introduce you to this wonderful place. |

 | | hms123: <he said that Daniel Lucas (Chess Life's editor) praised the article's quality of writing and organization as ready to shoot and print -- while they were both at the Chess Jounalists of America meeting!> Thanks for passing that on. It is a real tribute to the keen editorial eyes of <kutz>, <zanshin>, and <crawfb5> among others. Of course, DF and crew helped considerably. Every change that was suggested turned out to be an improvement. |

 | | morfishine: I get the feeling that "up-front" thoughts like this would've been most useful in the POGO game. I hope all adhere to these ideas. Best, Morf |

 | | chesstoplay: Jul-29-11 zsoydd: Hi team,
be prepared for an unexpectedly strong opponent. He is well aware how strong we could be. Probably he will follow the most solid opening lines to ensure at least a small advantage in the middlegame. GM V. Akobian has already played against a comp assisted internet team (I was part of): 2004, 5 days per move
1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 Bb4 4.e3 0-0 5.Bd3 d5 6.Nge2 dxc4 7.Bxc4 e5 8.0-0 exd4 9.Nxd4 Nbd7 10.Qc2 c6 11.a3 Bd6 12.b3 Nb6 13.Bd3 Qe7 14.Nce2 Re8 15.Bb2 Nbd5 16.Rfe1 Nxe3 17.fxe3 Bxh2+ 18.Kh1 Ng4 19.Nf3 Qd6 20.Neg1 Bg3 21.Nh3 Qh6 22.Kg1 Bxe1 23.Rxe1 Rxe3 24.Rd1 Be6 25.Bc1 Qh5 26.Nf4 Qa5 27.Bb2 g6 28.Nxe6 Rxe6 29.b4 Qb6+ 30.Bd4 Qc7 31.Qc3 Ne3 32.Qd2 Nxd1 33.Qh6 f6 34.Bc4 Qf7 35.Ng5 Re1+ 36.Kh2 Qxc4 37.Qxh7+ draw by perpetual check |

auh2o: <zsoydd: "The 'GM Akobian' vs ROW team game (2004) I've mentioned on page 5 wasn't played by GM Akobian himself. If I remember right our team was told after the game that we've only played against someone pretending to be him. Nevertheless the game standard was quite ok.">
You remember correctly. JimG and I (and maybe one or two others) ran down the culprit and located him precisely. He was a graduate student at a large university and a long-time and excellent student of a grandmaster, who was furious when informed of the scam. > |

Does that mean you will be passing through eastern Pennsylvania? |

| Mar-25-12 | | Artar1: Hi <chesstoplay>,
How is retirement? How do you spend your days? I hope you're doing well. So you're driving to California? Where do you plan to go? Yes, it's been awhile, but it's good to be back.
Are there any games planned?
My daughter and I are planning to buy a bike today with training wheels. She never learned how to ride and wants to learn now. I guess it's never too late even if she's 26. Take care. |
|
| Mar-25-12 | | Artar1: Hi <chesstoplay>,
Forget the training wheels; she was riding by herself within an hour! |

 | | WannaBe: <Chesstoplay> I haven't seen the ending yet, but I will keep it in mind, I did do some look-see on youtube, but nothing have shown/posted on the ending you are talking about. Will let you know when I have the answer. |

| | hms123: <ctp> I looked through my file on the original article and am starting to come up with an idea for a second one. Give me another week or so and then I will let you know if has developed into anything worthwhile. |

| | morfishine: Hello <chesstoplay>! Setting the record straight over at the WT vs GMVA was just what the doctor ordered. Having seen a number of interviews with VA, I've found him very gracious, engaging and pleasant to listen to; a real gentleman |
|
Dec-25-12
| | morfishine: <chesstoplay> You are very kind sir! Your comments at the WT vs GMVA have been very good and to the point! I hope you and your family have a pleasant and relaxing Christmas and a prosperous New Year! |
