Sep-25-23 Randall Hough   wrap99: I am guessing people from poorer countries are very familiar with less-than-new cars and know how to deal with their failures.      Sep-25-23 Sidney J Rubin   wrap99: @47pitch: interesting but not surprising that sid was a math guy -- had he been born a little later I bet he would have become a software developer.      May-26-23 John Brown    wrap99: jerseybob, i recall him drawing or winning. 1977 or so. Short, sort of heavy guy. Very quiet. I think he used John Brown out of admiration for the Abolitionist that people are joking about. No idea he had passed away 20 years ago almost although the last time I saw him might have ...      Dec-31-22 Rajan Ayyar   wrap99: I want to expand on the "disagreeable kid" thing. I recall his speaking in French to another kid (as I was at the time) to say something nasty about me -- firstly, as an English speaker it is not like he was speaking Chinese or something, enough cognates to get the gist and anyway, ...      Nov-29-22 Horatio Caro    wrap99: I have plenty of hair and I'd sure like that comb.      Sep-09-22 Hans Niemann    wrap99: Hey FSR, what's the difference between hurt and the idiotic "butthurt?"      Aug-10-22 Arturo Pomar Salamanca   wrap99: No one has commented on the last name and the Salamancas from Better Call Saul, but the name is from a city in Spain. I doubt if the writers of Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul named that evil criminal family after the GM, but that would be something, wouldn't it?      Aug-10-22 Isaak Mazel    wrap99: <perfidious> I don't want to get too far afield from chess, but the commies, while they did some terrible things, were not racist or genocidal. I am not a fan of torturing poets and even admit that Stalin was in fact an antisemite, but communism is certainly at its heart ...      Aug-08-22 Tim Krabbe    wrap99: <Olavi> Yes, that would be the game. Krabbe was a youngster and Duchamp was in his 70s.      Aug-08-22 M Sisniega vs Fedorowicz, 1978   wrap99: Is this not a game where white sacs a lot worth some comments? Both were young players not yet GMs but soon to be.
