|
| Nov-01-15 | | Sally Simpson: Hi Epistle.
I thought trolling was your day job.
:) |
|
| Nov-02-15 | | epistle: Oh, hello Sally Simpson! How are you pal? Hope you're doing fine. Nice of you to comment on my post. No, trolling is not a job for me at all. I have a nice job, something that makes me more expensive as I grow older. Unlike sportsmen whose careers have very short shelf lives. You thought wrongly but it's ok amigo. I'm used to it already. |
|
| Nov-02-15 | | Sally Simpson: Hi Epistle,
Glad to see your sense of humour has not deserted you. Now I am intrigued...
"...something that makes me more expensive as I grow older." Are you a painting by Vincent van Gogh?
Are you a collection of the Star Wars figures from the 1970's? Are you an autographed copy of 'My 60 Memorable Games' by Bobby Fischer? Wait a minute....I have it....
"...something that makes me more expensive as I grow older." You are my wife! |

| Nov-02-15 | | Pulo y Gata: Is this a match made in heaving? |

 | | Domdaniel: No, it's a match made in a match factory by a match factory girl ...

I said "expensive" not "expansive." |

| Nov-03-15 | | Sally Simpson: :)
She is still as slim as day I married her (38 years ago) I think she has worms. If you are not my wife Epistle then you are definitely one of my wife's credit cards. This game.
I wonder if Giri would have gone for the draw if Wes has played 12.Qb3 Na5 13.Qc2 Nc6. etc.. Eventually this game spun out a nice instructive swindle and reminds us that what goes around comes around. Even if it does take 5 years.

| Nov-03-15 | | Pulo y Gata: <Eventually this game spun out a nice instructive swindle and reminds us that what goes around comes around.> Five years ago, they were using classical time controls, they're not playing speed chess. And it's not so much a <swindle> in that fast game you provided a diagram for, unless you can demonstrate that Giri was <clearly winning> prior to Nf4. |
|
| Nov-03-15 | | Sally Simpson: Hi Pulo.
Both were blunders made with Knights moves.
What comes around goes around. |
|
| Nov-03-15 | | Pulo y Gata: I was about to invoke the same time factor, but I think you are right. Should we expect WBS to be called a worthless father, sued and shamed by one of his offspring in, say, 20 years? But that's taking things quite far, right? |

| Aug-05-16 | | Whitehat1963: What's best play after 37...Kxf1 38. Ne3+ Qxe3 39. Qxe3? It's not exactly what I'd call an easy win for either side at that point. |
