Apr-14-25 Clyde Nakamura   wrap99: Met him in LA maybe 1986. Nice fellow, sorry to read of his passing.      Jan-13-25 Edward Lasker    wrap99: <Sally Simpson> I used to even record games in descriptive and had trouble following a game in algebraic, but there is no doubt of the latter's superiority in almost every respect (although I note that experienced players get tripped up on squares having a unique name as ...      Jan-13-25 Horatio Caro    wrap99: <mifralu> I believe I read in The Making of the Atomic Bomb that Sir James Chadwick was interned in what had been a horse stable at that racecourse. Chadwick suffered some health problems due to this internment, but later discovered the neutron which had great importance ...      Jan-02-25 Roy Ervin    wrap99: <perfidious> not sure which one is Roy. Fritzinger is still around of those players mentioned. That was a long time ago.

If every human did as much for his fellow humans as Geraldo Rivera did, we would be living in an ...      Jan-09-24 Arthur R Spiller   wrap99: reading bukowski's book post office -- they were of similar age, i wonder if the knew each other?      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.
