number 23 NBer
Member since May-01-08 · Last seen Feb-25-25

Hello! My name is Jason Manley, and I am a player from New Brunswick, the sole bilingual province in Canada. I speak English and a decent amount of French. I first found myself on this site when I was a young player with a rating in the 1700's in the Chess Federation of Canada; now I'm an older, not especially wiser, and certainly more experienced player with a rating in the 2100's with the CFC and a FIDE rating just north of 2000. My specialty is getting into trouble out of the opening because I don't prepare well, then hoodwinking points out of players through a variety of creative and fortunate swindles. I'm also a Leafs fan, and I can tell that I'm a natural optimist because even after all these years, I still believe, against all evidence, that I'll one day see them lift the Stanley Cup.

Jan-26-25 J Manley vs Mikhalevski, 2022

number 23 NBer: Well, here it is, the pinnacle of my 20+ years of tournament chess so far- a victory over a grandmaster in a classical tournament game. I still don't quite believe that I managed it, but any time I look it over, it brings a smile to my face.

Jun-01-17 Capablanca Memorial (Elite) (2017)

number 23 NBer: I don't know, Chucky's win over Shankland was certainly quite impressive!

Jun-22-16 B Banerjee vs Ganguly, 2016

number 23 NBer: No, the white knight is trapped

Aug-21-15 Sinquefield Cup (2015)

number 23 NBer: <Penguincw> Someone should correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the pairings for this event were to be based off the pairings for Norway Chess, with colours reversed in each game (and So taking the place of Hammer). At least that's what I recall being mentioned after ...

number 23 NBer: The draw for the World Cup has been posted: http://www.fide.com/images/stories/... Is there any way we could get a tournament page for it?

Aug-12-15 Chao Li

number 23 NBer: I really hope he gets the last wildcard to the World Cup. He's #14 in the world, he should be there

Jun-17-15 Norway Chess (Blitz) (2015)

number 23 NBer: <chessgames.com> I don't know if there is a way to submit some sort of mass correction slip, but all of these games are listed as CLASSICAL instead of BLITZ.

Jun-15-15 Norway Chess (2015)

number 23 NBer: First round of the blitz is done: Hammer 0-1 Aronian Giri .5-.5 Carlsen Nakamura 1-0 Topalov Grischuk 0-1 Anand Vachier-Lagrave 1-0 Caruana

Dec-24-14 Santa Claus

number 23 NBer: Dear Santa, How long of a vacation do you take after Christmas? You could probably do with a good break.

Aug-14-14 Kurt Meier

number 23 NBer: <alexmagnus> His FIDE player card has a birth date of 1944. Rest in peace CM Meier.
