Sep-22-05  RookFile: Well, it was still a ballgame until 27. Nd2. Fritz says, substitute 27. g3 Ne6 28. a6, and you've got an equal game.
Sep-22-05  SneechLatke: Dane's got his own page?! YES!! One of the nicest players in Minnesota. He is an excellent guy with a great sense of humor. I consider myself lucky to be among his acquaintences.
Sep-22-05  SneechLatke: oh, if either <mastercheff> or <Johnnyrhetoric> is actually dane, please let me know. it would be nice to find a fellow minnesotan on this site. :)
Sep-22-05  SneechLatke: come on <johnny>, it must be u or how do you know all that stuff about "mr mattson's" game? :)

  offramp: After Epishin talked to the TD, Mattson was asked to wear a sort of tin-foil beanie that was filled with water.
Sep-22-05  SneechLatke: <mastercheff> yes, Edina to be exact (see my profile). I daresay you can find out who I am if you use the information on the profile the right way.
Sep-22-05  Derm: its me mastercheff
Sep-22-05  Derm: I changed names
Sep-23-05  JohnnyRhetoric: SneechLatke, Dane Mattson became quite known at that year's Canadian Open. Some of his exploits are fairly known, others, not as much. This sir, is neither here nor there. The true question is, does Mr. Mattson know you? And do you truly know Mr. Mattson?

When your identity is revealed, the position shall become clear.

In the end, it's all just Rhetoric.

Sep-23-05  SneechLatke: <JohnnyRhetoric> Firstly I must compliment you on your choice and application of your name. First class. Yes, I suppose Mattson would know who I am. I have spoken to him several times, including at a local tournament recently. Though I have not known him for very long, I have certainly known of him for some time, and consider him a first class fellow.
Sep-23-05  Resignation Trap: If any of you can contact Dane Mattson, please send him here to www.chessgames.com. I have some comments to make to him about how Sam Lipnowski successfully cheated on him: http://www.chesscafe.com/text/geurt... .
Sep-25-05  JohnnyRhetoric: Mr. Dane Mattson has arrived. Yes, I am under the alias, "Johnny Rhetoric."

Mr. Sneech, I am a resident of Wisconsin. By stating that we have conversed in a local tournament recently, that could mean the Twin Cities (for you) or Northern Wisconsin (for me.) My transparent mask has been unveiled. It is now your turn, sir.

Resignation Trap, were you at the Canadian Open event where that happened? I can't seem to open up your link. Also, may I know you? Or do you just know of my incident?

ALSO: This year's Canadian Open I played against Alexei Shirov in Round One, and Vasilly Ivanchuk in his simultaneous exhibition. Would chessgames.com be interested in posting these games? Furthermore, I would like to post my scalping of a 2501 in the Tennessee Super Nationals.

And, no, I do NOT want to publish my horrendous games where have I lost in horrid fashion! Let's forget about those things.

Sep-25-05  Resignation Trap: <JohnnyRhetoric> I'm not sure if we've formally met, but I was the winner of a tournament in which you played: http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/2951/... .

I was not in Kapuskasing, but I was a victim of cheating at a Canadian Open once myself. It was also against an expert from Ontario, but it took place 20 years prior to your incident. I'll not reveal my opponent's identity, but I believe he's still active and lives in Thunder Bay, which is not too far from you.

Sep-25-05  SneechLatke: <JohnnyRhetoric> Greetings! I apologize for the reference of you as a Minnesotan: I suppose that I sub-consciously thought you drove down with your dad from St. Cloud or something. The tourney I speak of is the Northern Open (Sept. 17-18) in Minneapolis.
Sep-25-05  SneechLatke: We also spoke at the Minnesota Jr./Sr. High State championship last year.
Sep-25-05  square dance: <JohnnyRhetoric> use this link to submit your games. PGN Upload Utility
Sep-25-05  mastercheff: Sneech, why don't you just say your damn identity. What the hell? You just seem like some kind of weirdie.
Sep-26-05  JohnnyRhetoric: Resignation Trap, that was seven years ago. Wow, I was eleven at the time. Interesting to see my name in a tournament recorded so long ago! What did you want to discuss about the Lipnowski Affair? I couldn't get your link to work earlier.

Sneech, I have spoken to many people at both of the tournaments in which you mentioned. Perhaps since I revealed my identity, you could do the same!

Sep-26-05  SneechLatke: Mc Neil, David R
Sep-26-05  SneechLatke: I suppose I am something of a weirdie <mastercheff> lol.
Sep-26-05  SneechLatke: <Johnny> If my name doesn't ring a bell, perhaps you remember we were analyzing my last round loss together shortly after the tournament ended.
Sep-26-05  SneechLatke: to clarify: my last post refers to the Jr./Sr. High championship last February.
Sep-26-05  JohnnyRhetoric: David, of course! It took me a long time to figure out who you actually are. After looking up your last round game, I remember we were looking at the black side of the King's Gambit. You had him on the ropes, and due to time pressure, threw the game away.

Interesting, I couldn't remember exactly who you were until I remembered the type of chess opening we were analyzing.

Good to hear from you, sir!

Sep-26-05  SneechLatke: And you! You were telling me at the Northern Open about your win over a 2500 rated player at nationals. I'd certainly be interested in seeing the game score should you care to submit it. Perhaps there are other games of yours you'll submit as well? But no loses of course. :) BTW will you be at the Gov. Cup this year?

Sep-29-05  JohnnyRhetoric: I hope to attend the Governor's Cup this year. At the moment it is rather unclear.

I plan on posting my game against Garush Manukyan, who had a provisional rating of 2501 after 20 games (very solid) and possesses a very strong 2400 rating. Also, I hope to post my game against Alexei Shirov in round one in the Canadian Open. Sure, the game was a loss...but is playing Shirov in a real tournament (not a simul, an actual game) an actual loss? I also got to play Vasilly Ivanchuk in a simul during the same tournament. The Canadian Open was definitely an opportunity of a lifetime. Who could have imagined before hitting 1900 I would have already had two GM opponents in a tournament, as well as another GM in a simul?

Unfortunately, 1900 is still far from the peaks of chess.
