| Feb-03-04 | | sleepkid: benzol: no, not really. Was more of a King Crimson fan. Their albums still blow my mind. |

 | | Benzol: <sleepkid> Said the straight man to the late man where have you been? I like the early stuff and was impressed with the "Discipline" Album of the early Eighties, but why couldn't the lineups remain stable? |
|
| Feb-03-04 | | sleepkid: Benzol: ask Robert Fripp. Yeah, I follow their stuff up through the 80's, but don't listen to any of their new stuff. Just not the same. |
|
| Mar-21-04 | | Minor Piece Activity: What did Nunn do to RJF's book? People say he wrecked it, but what's that supposed to mean? |
|
| Mar-26-04 | | Cecil Brown: <MPA> I don't know. I have a copy of the infamous Batsford edition of "My 60 Memorable Games" and I think it's a damn good book! Apparently there are ~500 alterations to the text, but the quality of the games and annotations is still very good. |
|
| Mar-26-04 | | Lawrence: transcript from one of Bobby's radio interviews: "after Nd5.. original book you said white has a strategically won game, his knight cannot be dislodged .. and you know they say here white apostrophes s has a strategically won game his n is immovable That's not even English white apostrophe s has is not even English" I think until "dislodged" is the interviewer and the rest is Bobby but frankly I find it too disheartening to listen to that stuff in order to make sure. |
|
| May-14-04 | | chessman6555: His analysis are even present in Capablanca's collection. |
|
| May-16-04 | | Dillinger: John Nunn was tearing it up on playchess.com this morning. Very impressive results in the blitz games.

| Jun-08-04 | | WMD: A couple of games which presumably didn't feature in NCO: Sax vs Nunn, 1985
Kasparov vs Nunn, 1986 |
|
| Jul-19-04 | | CrackerSmack: He capitalises on mistakes, not bad however his books are quite readable. |
|
| Aug-02-04 | | Knight13: Did you people know that John Nunn is a "Four-time Chess Olypic Gold Medallist"? |
|
| Aug-03-04 | | Dick Brain: Have John Nunn and Peter Townshend of The Who ever been seen together? http://www.altmanphoto.com/PeteTown... |
|
| Sep-24-04 | | Knight13: They took the picture in a good position. Looks like he's little mad on the picture. |
|
| Sep-24-04 | | WMD: More to the point, have Pete Townshend and Brian Eley been seen together? |
|
| Sep-24-04 | | WMD: Congratulations are due to Dr. Nunn on becoming the World Chess Solving Champion for 2004:

|
| Sep-28-04 | | Orbitkind: There isn't a lot of kibitzing on Nunn so I thought I should say something. Nunn is a chess grandmaster, a solving grandmaster, and the chess solving world champion, and even owns a chess publishing company, as well as having written one of the massive openings texts of which I only know of two, among other books. Nunn is the all round chess polymath/specialist, and he is a great inspiration to me. |
|
| Sep-28-04 | | technical draw: <Orbitkind> He is also Dr. Nunn..And may I also add second to ...(sorry, can't do it). |
|
| Sep-29-04 | | Orbitkind: <technical draw> Lasker was a doctor of mathematics and philosophy similarly to how Nunn is a doctor of mathematics, and Lasker is not referred to as Dr Lasker, so I think Dr Nunn would not find it offensive to be referred to as Nunn when talking about his chess in the same way that we might say Lasker instead of Dr Lasker. There's a good chance that I'm going to be doing a PhD in mathematics after my masters degree and I wouldn't care if people referred to me with or without the "Dr." in a sports setting like chess. The great chess players amongst other greats in history, such as great mathematicians, are not remembered as Dr Albert Einstein, or Dr Lasker, or Prof. Newton etc, then are remembered by their name alone, without prefixes etc, so I don't think it is offensive to Dr. Nunn to just refer to him as Nunn when talking about him as a chess player. |
|
| Sep-29-04 | | iron maiden: <OrbitKind> More often than not during his career Lasker was referred to as "Dr. Lasker," after he took his degree around 1898. |

 | | offramp: Tarrasch was often called a Doctor but I don't think that was an academic qualification; I think it was more a joke than anything else. John Nunn went to Oxford at 15, a very young age.
Tal & Euwe were both very good at Maths, as was Capablanca. |

 | | Eggman: <<Tarrasch was often called a Doctor but I don't think that was an academic qualification; I think it was more a joke than anything else.>> Actually Tarrasch was a generally practitioner, and it was partly because of his duties as a doctor that neglected to challenge for the world title in his prime (right around the time that Lasker challenged). |
|

| | Eggman: Offramp, perhaps you are thinking of Alekhine and not Tarrasch? I believe the former did try to pass himself off as a doctor at one time. |
|
Oct-01-04
| | Benzol: Hasn't Nunn just become World problem solving Champion again recently? |
|
| Oct-01-04 | | ughaibu: Is that so? Last I remember Mestel was the top Brit. |
|
| Oct-01-04 | | Troewa: <Benzol> That's right. http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail... |
