| May-12-22 | | MatrixManNe0: Well, I was on Board 23. And I was being crushed right out of the opening, hahaha. Still, I loved being there, and I felt I learned a good amount from this game alone. Here is the sheet. [Result "1-0"]

 | | MissScarlett: You want this game in the database? If so, as NN or <MMN>? |
|
May-12-22
 | | jessicafischerqueen:
<MissScarlett> in a case like this shouldn't it be the player's real name? |
|
May-12-22
| | MissScarlett: That's up to <MMN>. |
|

<MissScarlett>
<MMN>? Well ok but I'm pretty sure "microsoft mini network" is a robot eh. Need I remind you of Daniel's iron clad rule that no game may be uploaded in which one of the player names is their cg.com handle? So it's either NN or the real name or it cannot be uploaded. Some call this the "Big Pawn Law" because it was successfully invoked (by me) a while ago when cg.com member Big Pawn was whining about why <Frederick Rhine> was allowed to upload online blitz games, but not him. I explained to Big Pawn that he too could upload internet games of similar quality but he would have to use his actual name. At any rate, as usual you will do as you please, since you are apparently now the self-appointed "dictator of affairs" around here. Not that I'm complaining. You'd have had my vote if you'd been arsed to hold a vote in the first place. So I guess the *real* final decision here is up to you or the police. I like both you and the police, so if I had to vote I would just flip a coin. |
|
| May-13-22 | | Z free or die: <"Big Pawn Law"> ?!?! Bippy memorialized!?!
I'd rather see him enshrined in granite, Z-truth be told. |
|

 | | perfidious: My preference runs towards his being immured in granite. <jess....I explained to Big Pawn that he too could upload internet games of similar quality but he would have to use his actual name....> It is odds-on that any random user will sooner win the next Powerball draw here in the States than of our seeing this come off--he is manic about that, and has a great desire to have the Rogovian miasma cleaned. |
|
| May-14-22 | | MatrixManNe0: <MissScarlet> Oh wow, actually having my game in the database… that would be pretty cool. If it’s gonna be in the database, then maybe under my real name? That would be Sean Pagaduan. |
|
May-14-22
| | MissScarlett: See Shankland vs Sean Pagaduan, 2022 How many boards were there? |
|
| May-19-22 | | MatrixManNe0: 30 boards in total |

 | | Dionysius1: Shankland's July rating is 2720 - not far off his all time best 2027 (2018) |
|
Jul-21-22
| | Dionysius1: To get it right this time:
Shankland's July rating is 2720 - not far off his all time best 2727 (2018) |
|

| | Dionysius1: Come on Sam! All these draws. Is that what happens when you over prepare? Whatever made you great enough to get here is needed to get you beyond. Leave something for the day of. |
|
Dec-27-22
| | Dionysius1: Could someone update Shankland's last FIDE rating, above, please. December 2022 is 2710 etc. Thanks |
|
Dec-28-22
| | Dionysius1: Sorry - wrong place for me to submit the request. I've used the form now. |

 | | Sally Simpson: I've been hearing good reports about Sam's book 'Theoretical Rook Endgame's ' (in a rare moment of clarity I surprised myself by thinking at least it was not Bishop and Knight endings - Giri vs Shankland, 2019 - but when looking the game I could not recall the exact year.) Sam's Book; https://www.newinchess.com/media/wy... Of course I'm the wrong person to ask about new books on any ending, in fact I was surprised I was being told about it. But this came from Keith Ruxton who does not hold back if he thinks a chess book is crap. I've known him for many years and cannot recall him every hyping up a book much as this one. Apparently with Sam's book you have to have some knowledge of Rook endings already (that is me off the hook) and this book takes you up a step, things unclear (not explained or shown in other books of this ilk, of which Keith has half a dozen or more.) are now fully explained in an easy to understand manner. He was full of praise for it. I always listened to players who have no vested interest when promoting a book. A lot of book reviewers rarely slay the golden goose as their free copies will dry up so they tart them. So if you are keen and have a certain knack for Rook endings, that bit was stressed, then this book has been tipped by a good player who really found it worthwhile and learned something from it. |

 | | offramp: That was a good review of the review, by User: Sally Simpson. I was perturbed that Shankland's book <THEORETICAL ROOK ENDGAMES> is £29.50 (448pp), and it is published with <the sister volume – Conceptual Rook Endgames by Jacob Aagaard>.
They are both £29.50 so that is sixty quid's worth of rook endings... Strewth! I am thinking of buying a different book, <Understanding Rook Endgames - Muller & Konoval> at about £18. That is from 2018, 288pp. But here is a superb book: <Fundamental Chess Endings - Muller and Lamprecht>, 418pp, £20. It's pretty comprehensive, and it's good value. |

| | Sally Simpson: Hi offramp,
I did not know the price. Yes a bit pricey, I'm glad I will not have to buy it. Practical Chess Endings by Keres clicked with me. |

Disappointingly, the game was a draw:

| May-26-25 | | Gottschalk: GM Sam Shankland is one of the leaders in the American Continental 2025
After four rounds, he is one of 5 players with a 4.0 out of 4! Yesterday, he took a strong attack against Caro-Kann (B15) played by GM Hungaski.
