| Oct-07-13 | | MarkFinan: <LIFE Master AJ: I also find it difficult to believe that someone in your own home posted a link - or anything else - (that you had no knowledge of) ... that sounds so absurd so as to be impossible!> Give up now fellas, AJ agrees therefore it's the truth!!!! ;) ✌ |

 | | LIFE Master AJ: Does anyone know of any archive for the main New Orleans newspaper? (The Delta?) |
|

 | | jnpope: Known holdings for the New Orleans Sunday Delta:
http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/l...I don't know of any online sources that have a complete record. You may want to check with the Cleveland Public Library, John G. White collection, and see if they have a scrapbook of the New Orleans Sunday Delta. If they do they may have it archived to microfilm and for sale through their duplications department. |
|
| Oct-07-13 | | Robed.Bishop: I might be mistaken, but I think in 1858 it was called the New Orleans Daily Delta. |
|
Oct-07-13
| | jnpope: There was a daily Delta which was published during the week (no chess column). The weekly Sunday Delta contained the chess column. |

| | LIFE Master AJ: Thanks for the info.
I have written several sources ... but not the JGW. (But that is a VERY GOOD suggestion, it may be the only place where those records might still be available.) |
|
| Oct-08-13 | | MarkFinan: Just been through this game and 18.Rf3 seemed the natural move, and I thought that before I let the engine look at it. Also 10...kh8 seemed a luxury move, but saying that, poor NN was already getting thrashed by move 6 anyway. ✌ |

| | LIFE Master AJ: BTW, I spent 2-3 days on the above, I thought it would make an interesting counterpoint/supplement to my web page ... I think its also amazing that even the computers only find one real improvement on this masterpiece that was played so long ago. (1858, 100 years before I was born!) |
|
| Oct-10-13 | | Robed.Bishop: <AJ: I think its also amazing that even the computers only find one real improvement on this masterpiece...> Well then one of them had to be using a computer to cheat... |

| Sep-11-20 | | paulmorphy1969: From my research NN is Paul Ross ,
but I have no other information on Paul Ross,
some books continue 23 ... king x g6
24 Bishop f4 then black abandons. |

 | | Diademas: <MissScarlett: You could also claim to have solved Fermat's Last Theorem. Dude, show us your working out.> Maybe, like Fermat, he has discovered a truly marvelous proof of this, which this margin is too narrow to contain |

The score (moves) differ from <CG> here and there... |

| Jul-28-22 | | boohoo bear: <fred> - the bulk of us folksy bears remain unconvinced of your chess skills - but we will note that you copy-and-paste with abandon. Now about your opinions on chess research - well, I think saying it's about AJ level is about right. |

 | | perfidious: While <AJ> is a liar and a thief, he possesses considerable skill at chess--which <fredthebore> very clearly does not, all while donning this nescience like a badge of honour. |
|
| Jul-28-22 | | boohoo bear: <perf> I thought most of <AJ>'s stuff was analyzing games. Did he do anything good with history research? I'd be interested. * * * * *
Whereas us bears are normally rather friendly, when left alone, some bad apples insist on dumpster-diving, time after time. Eating the fermented fruit and other sugar laden refuse leads to bad blood in the brain. It's not the finest moment to see a drunken bear stumbled about in the trash heaps. . |

| | perfidious: <zed>, do not recall anything on the history end, but was less impressed than most, come to his game analyses, given his proclamations of devoting masses of hours to them. |
