jnpope has kibitzed 6309 times to chessgames   [more...]

Jul-03-25 Biographer Bistro   jnpope: <mifralu>, Thanks again. It was nice to finally update the citations for the <Boston Weekly Post> AND the <Boston Daily Traveller> (and I added some new text from the latter source).      Jul-03-25 Blackburne vs Jetson, 1861   jnpope: <MissScarlett>: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqS...      Jul-02-25 Harry Rosenbaum    jnpope: I know Skipworth had a reputation of bailing on a tournament if he had a poor start and demanding his entry fee back. And I believe I recall reading something about a rule being implemented (in no small part due to Skipworth) that participants had to put up forfeit money at the start      Jul-01-25 Chessgames - Guys and Dolls    jnpope: Ellen Barkin (The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension)      Jun-29-25 Pillsbury vs A Scudier, 1902   jnpope: I've dropped the "B" from being a middle initial and moved the Baron title before his first name, in the English fashion, on his bio page.      Jun-29-25 Constant Burille   jnpope: Added his photo and two additional games vs Young: F K Young vs C F Burille, 1889 C F Burille vs F K Young, 1895 Given that his sister, mother, and father all tied from tuberculosis, what are the chances that he also died from TB?      Jun-26-25 British Chess Club Handicap (1887)   jnpope: I try to use it for just the tables that have those symbols; in this tournament Mundell had two unplayed games, hence the legend. Sometimes the legend does sneak into tables where every game got played due to some neglect when I build a new table. I do have a template for building ...      Jun-26-25 Hanham - Young, 2nd Match (1887)    jnpope: Hanham - Young, 3rd Match https://www.youtube.com/shorts/FX6_...      Jun-26-25 Antonio Jover   jnpope: In <Jose Raul Capablanca: A Chess Biography>, Miguel A. Sánchez gives "The draw was made by José A. Jover, another old timer of the club" as having played Capablanca, on p509. User: rhmberger found in <Diario de la Marina>, 1909.09.15, p5, that Capablanca's opponent was      Jun-24-25 Blackburne vs Pearson, 1893   jnpope: <MissScarlett: The reports of Ashford club matches of the early 1890s suggest <C F Stedman>, <H Sayer>, <R Pearson>, <W Rabson> and <B C Busbridge> are the likeliest suspects.>

< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 15 OF 15 ·  Later Kibitzing> Dec-09-24    jnpope: Another successful journey concluded. I left yesterday at 7.38am and arrived back home at 11.51pm. 1,233 miles in a little over 16 hours (only two brief stops to refuel). https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Nok... For comparison: https://maps.app.goo.gl/whSeczftifP... Dec-09-24    stone free or die: Might I ask, did you drive by yourself for sixteen hours straight? If so you're a certifiable maniac. That's Carlsen level grinding! (Entertaining comparison, though there you'd at least have the reward of a nice glass of Highland Park!) Dec-09-24    jnpope: Yes. Solo drive non-stop. Dec-10-24    stone free or die: That's averaging about 76 mph isn't it? Just curious do you have a radar/ladar detector? And do actually ever go to Lions' games? . Dec-10-24    jnpope: No detection device. I use the FIT method (traveling the speed of the Fastest Indigenous Traffic in each state). I figure they know where all the speed traps are (I also have Waze on my phone). The closest I've come to Ford Field is Comerica Park (I do attend Tigers games). But I have an open invite (first refusal) to home games from a sports junkie friend. Dec-11-24    stone free or die: Never knew that technique (ie FIT) had a name. I might have called it the left-lane-blend-in. Dec-16-24    jnpope: Richard Fenton R. F. Fenton, formerly of Swansea, according to the Cardiff <Weekly Mail> Dec-29-24    jnpope: Rudolf Czaikowsky Dec-31-24    jnpope: Lowenthal in the Bohn edition (pp.405-413) and Segeant (pp.315-319) give these 6 games as being played by the same Amateur: 1 Morphy vs Worrall, 1858 2 Morphy vs Worrall, 1858 3 Morphy vs NN, 1857 4 Morphy vs J McConnell, 1858 5 Morphy vs NN, 1857 6 Morphy vs Worrall, 1858 Dec-31-24    jnpope: These 6 games are not given as being played by the same amateur Appleton edition (pp.439-450). Jan-28-25    jnpope: http://www.nli.org.il/en/newspapers... Looks like his column started on 1914.11.22 an ran until 1923.04.13 (at least). Jan-28-25    stone free or die: When did his column run? (Weekly? What day?) Could someone provide a direct link to one of his columns so I could see how Google's toolset does with Yiddish? (It's so close to German that I think it should be ok, but I only have the vague-ish memories of encountering that language in a chess column before) Jan-29-25    jnpope: It appears to have been weekly. The day it appeared changed over the years. Here's a link to the first column as a pdf download (page 8 of the 22 November 1914 issue). https://www.nli.org.il/en/newspaper... Apr-16-25    BarakSaltz: The Cedar Rapids magazine "The Pawn" (1910-1911) is available on Hathitrust. https://catalog.hathitrust.org/Reco... Apr-16-25    jnpope: Thanks!

May-26-25    jnpope: Max Albin May-27-25    jnpope: https://www.newspapers.com/search/r... May-27-25    jnpope: http://clubescacssantandreu.blogspo...

May-29-25    jnpope: Biographer Bistro Jun-05-25    Stonehenge: I've uploaded some games by Hercule Goudjou. Mostly from https://www.arhisah.ro/wp-content/u... and one from http://heritageechecsfra.free.fr/18.... Not sure what this is: Paris (1881).
