 | | keypusher: <alexmagnus It may be that Greco won 100% of his games. He was the only person who seriously played chess in 1600s.> <SBC> would like a word with you: http://batgirl.atspace.com/ChessRen... |

 | | alexmagnus: <keypsher> The only player from 1600s listed on that page is Carrera. The others are 1400s (Castellvi, Vinyoles) or 1500s (Damiano, Ruy Lopez, Boi....). |
|
Mar-21-07
| | alexmagnus: I of course mean the only player from 1600s not counting Greco himself. |

| | keypusher: <only player [other than Greco] from 1600s listed on that page is Carrera. > Well, I only needed one, didn't I? But in fact a couple more are mentioned on the Chess Literature page in the link. |

| Apr-01-07 | | chessamateur: Hooray, NN is the player of the day! Finally NN will be recognized for something after all these years. |
|
| Apr-01-07 | | chessamateur: And that's not a joke. |
|
| Apr-01-07 | | Tactic101: Another good joke. |
|
| Apr-01-07 | | jmi: Congrats to NN for being the player of the day!! You deserve it, mate! ;-) |
|
| Apr-01-07 | | Manic: Finally, NN gets the recognition he/she deserves. His record does not justice to his skill. After all, most of his games are against the top of the world. He also boasts 3 wins against Alekhine and not many can say that they are playing chess at a good level for over 400 years. |
|
| Apr-01-07 | | izual: Happy birthday NN ! |
|
| Apr-01-07 | | FHBradley: NN is the only chess player who has managed to beat Philidor, Staunton, Lasker and Aljechin. That's truly impressive. I join the other Kibitzers for congratulations to the spokesperson of all patzers. |
|
| Apr-01-07 | | FHBradley: I forgot Blackburne from my list :-) |
|
| Apr-01-07 | | Rubenus: Congratulations for being player of the day! |
|
| Apr-01-07 | | gambitfan: encore un gros poisson d'avril! |
|
| Apr-01-07 | | tbentley: People like to insult his play in some games, but what do you expect from someone over 100 years old? |
|
| Apr-01-07 | | sheaf: finally we are recognised ;-) |
|
| Apr-01-07 | | Dr.Lecter: How in the world did NN become the player of the day? |
|
| Apr-01-07 | | drkodos: Player of the Day should have been, Lirpa Loof. |

<2.Bc4>: nn: "please play now" <2...Nf6> zk: "ok, i can play some moves now... Here Brazil, from where do You play?" <3.Nc3> SILENCE - (Yes, is HIM - that tortured soul that wanders for centuries playing chess - NN in person!) <4.Nf3> nn: "you attack as if u play white" <4...Nc6> zk: "Just a simmetrical Giuoco Piano" <6.d3> nn: "at least you can see chess!" - After 12.Kh1 I received a message - offering a DRAW! - he (or she) alleged that was unaware that I played reasonably, and that in the next time he (or she) would play more atentivelly! |
|
| Apr-01-07 | | Brettwith2ts: I've played some games where I wished that I was NN. A lot, actually, like that one time I played Rook odds against an IM on ICC. I lost, obviously. |
|
| Apr-16-07 | | Manic: <Brettwith2ts> well, at least it sounds like only your bad losses makes you wish you were NN. Sometimes, even when I win, I wish to remain unknown because of the amount of blunders. Then again, my opponent must feel worse. |
|
| May-24-07 | | Malaspina: Salvete, sodales!
Cur "nomen nescio" scribitis? Immo "nominem nescio" scribere oportet, quia non nominativum "nomen" sed accusativum "nominem" quaerit verbum "nescio" in hac sententia.
Fortasse in hoc argumentum erro, nam doctus Latinis litteris non sum: correctiones exspecto.
Valete! |

| | alexmagnus: <I've played some games where I wished that I was NN. A lot, actually, like that one time I played Rook odds against an IM on ICC. I lost, obviously.> Why obviously? In a blitz game it's obvious but in a long game rook odds is a tough thing. Even in a blitz game without odds impossible is nothing (I once drew a GM - and am rated 1400 on playchess...) |
|
| Jun-05-07 | | Brettwith2ts: Well, I meant that obviously I lost if I wanted to remain anonymous. If I had beaten (or drawn) an IM under any circumstances, I wouldn't mind if people knew who I was. (also, this was 2 years ago, when I was, at best, rated 1200. I think I could maybe pull it off today, in a long game. Maybe.) |

Too many people run out of ideas before they run out of words. --NN |
