Jun-23-06 Gligoric vs Nyback, 2004    pkendal: Monday's stumped me, I saw Tuesday's immediately, Wednesday stumped me, yesterday's I stared at without seeing an ideas for quite some time, but I saw today's in seconds, my first Friday puzzle solved (all the way through) ever. I wonder if I'm developing xray vision in fits and ...      May-18-06 Shirov vs C Hoi, 1991    pkendal: <There's no entrance fee if you are 3 metres tall with red eyes.> I don't think there's *ever* an entrance fee if you're 3 metres tall with red eyes!      May-04-06 Tartakower vs A Gromer, 1933    pkendal: ah, now I understand, I'm sorry. This is a dead draw. There is no way for White's king to penetrate, as black has the opposition. Black can keep his king opposite White's on the 7th rank and White can't make any progress.      Apr-22-06 Psakhis vs A Volzhin, 1994    pkendal: <OBIT> I would hope I'd have changed my mind when the game got to that position.

I used to play there all the time, good people!      Mar-20-06 Blackburne vs F Ford, 1877    pkendal: hi Cogano: A ford is a shallow point where it is easy to cross a river. So you would cross a ford to get to the other side.      Mar-15-06 Kelly Cottrell    pkendal: in my message: book = opinion in this case.      Mar-05-06 Topalov vs Aronian, 2006    pkendal: oop.nevermind.      Dec-29-05 Rublevsky vs S Volkov, 2005    pkendal: motylev-bareev!!!
