FIDE player card for Kenneth Rogoff

KENNETH ROGOFF
(born Mar-22-1953, 72 years old) United States of America

[what is this?]

Kenneth Saul Rogoff learned chess from his father at age six, but only took up the game in earnest when he received a chess set for his 13th birthday. He was soon recognized as a chess prodigy. By age 14, he was a USCF Master and New York State Open Champion, and shortly thereafter became a Senior Master, the highest US national title.

At 16, Rogoff dropped out of high school to concentrate on chess. He won the 1969 United States Junior Championship. Rogoff spent the next several years living primarily in Europe and playing in tournaments there. He finished third in the 1971 World Junior Championship, behind winner Werner Hug and Zoltan Ribli (second). At 18, he decided to go to college and pursue a career in economics rather than become a chess professional, but continued to play and improve for several years afterward.

FIDE awarded Rogoff the IM title in 1974, and the GM title in 1978. His best tournament result was second place at the United States Championship (1975), half a point behind six-time champion Walter Browne. This qualified him for the Biel Interzonal (1976), where he finished tied for 13th–15th. He tied for second with eight other players at Lone Pine (1976), half a point behind Tigran Petrosian. Rogoff tied for first at Norristown (1973) and Orense 1976.

Early in his economics career, Rogoff served as chief economist at the International Monetary Fund and also on the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. He is currently the Thomas D. Cabot Professor of Public Policy and Professor of Economics at Harvard University.

Jul-22-22  Fyffe123: Bannon will surely fire his lawyers for not bringing up his 'Martian Defence.'

Notwithstanding that the judge said Bannon would have to cover the cost of bringing a spaceship carrying witnesses all the way back from Mars.

Jul-22-22  Fyffe123: <cass> is droll...,

Everybody knows he admires Putin for driving up gas prices by invading the Ukraine.

And for preventing grain shipments from getting out of the Ukraine.

  al wazir: Yes!!!

<California punched back Friday against two recent landmark US supreme court decisions as the state’s governorsigned a controversial, first-in-the-nation gun control law patterned after a Texas anti-abortion law.

The action by Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, comes one month after conservative justices overturned women’s constitutional right to abortions and undermined gun control laws in states including California.

Newsom stitched the two hot-button topics together in approving a law allowing people to sue anyone who distributes illegal assault weapons, parts that can be used to build weapons, guns without serial numbers, or .50 caliber rifles. They would be awarded at least $10,000 in civil damages for each weapon, plus attorneys fees.

“While the supreme court rolls back reasonable gun safety measures, California continues adding new ways to protect the lives of our kids,” Newsom said in a statement released before he signed the bill. “California will use every tool at its disposal to save lives, especially in the face of an increasingly extreme supreme court.”

Lawmakers patterned the bill, at Newsom’s request, after a Texas law allowing citizens to sue anyone who provides or assists in providing an abortion. The US supreme court gave preliminary approval to the Texas law, but California’s law will automatically be invalidated if the Texas law is eventually ruled unconstitutional.>https://www.theguardian.com/us-news...

  al wazir: Guilty! Bannon is going to the slammer!

Or maybe not: <U.S. District Judge Carl J. Nichols scheduled sentencing for Oct. 21. Each of the two misdemeanor charges is punishable by at least 30 days and up to one year in jail. But no one has been incarcerated for contempt of Congress in more than half a century, since the red-baiting hearings of the Cold War era.> https://www.washingtonpost.com/nati...

<But the WHO, NIH, and FDA all recommend that you avoid using it.>

https://stevekirsch.substack.com/p/...

Ivermectin is deadly for Big Pharma profits, so WHO, NIH, and FDA say avoid it.

Jul-22-22  mlskdney: So donalds tried to assassinate vp pence and his family and josh hawley was running away from tourists like he ended up in brazil massage parler full of female boys. Watching the jan 6 committee made me see how evil donalds and kevin mccarthy are and i cannot understand why our neighbors will still vote for a republican president in current climate. Hey george i had butt sex with betty last night for 1st time in 2 yrs and i really considered a enjoyable experience so i do not understand why you do not like it yourself or why you think a woman will need a abortion from butt sex. Butt sex is good. Butt sex is fair

Jul-22-22  Rdb: <Cassandro: <saffuna> I'm not sure exactly when the withdrawal started but the US-taliban withdrawal deal was made in early 2020 I think, under the Trump administration. So I guess they started shortly after that>

One of the two things :

(i) either <cassandro> is indeed honest , intelligent , civil

(ii) or <george Wallace>/<big pawn> has increased his skills at deception/pretense many , many times.

.

Jul-22-22  Rdb: <  nok: <george> your transparent attempt at infecting this page has gone unnoticed. >

Hahaha 😊😊😊

My humble attempt to help <susan freeman> give a retort :

< Q: Meat-eating implies killing. M: Obviously. I make no claims of consistency. You think absolute consistency is possible; prove it by example. Don't preach what you do not practise.>

That is a conversation between a vegetarian and a non vegetarian spiritual teacher (in some cultures , people consider it very odd/suspicious if a spiritual teacher is non vegetarian)

<Let us consider them together waking and dreaming. The difference is merely in continuity. Were your dreams consistently continuous, bringing back night after night the same surroundings and the same people, you would be at a loss to know which is the waking and which is the dream. Henceforward, when we talk of the waking state, we shall include the dream state too>

Jul-23-22  George Wallace: !!! HOMO ALERT !!!

<Swedish LGBT Writer Demands Mosques Welcome and Include Homosexuals>

One thing about the Muzzies, is they don't bend over for Big Sodomy. In many Muslim countries, if they find out you're a homo, they throw you off a roof somewhere in town, and you fall to your death, and if you're not dead, they stone you to death on the spot.

Jul-23-22  Whitehat1963: This page is … wow!
Jul-23-22  George Wallace: <Whitehat1963: This page is … wow!>

Thank you for admiring it. We work hard to sculpt it this way.

I haven't seen you commenting on this page before, even though you've been a member since 2003.

So what brought you here today?

Jul-23-22  George Wallace: <The Tuna>, Trump was out of office for a year and a half before the Fall of Kabul, which came all at once, so you're not hanging that on anyone but Trump.

It doesn't matter if Trump signed the agreement to leave Afghanistan etc...

The whole world blames Fraud Pop for that disaster.

That's the highlight of the Fraud Pop administration - that and the worst inflation in 40 years.

Jul-23-22  George Wallace: !!! HOMO ALERT !!!

<Suburban bakery's plan for a 'family-friendly' drag show spurs threats and protests>

The libs think a DRAG QUEEN SHOW is <family friendly>!

You don't want these people near your kids. You don't want them teaching your kids. It's just disgusting.

In Russia, they have sane laws that prevent this sort of thing. I mean, a DRAG QUEEN show is worse than a strip club!

Would you consider a chick dancing on a pole at a strip club "family-friendly?"

The lib homos are attacking the children by being in their face with all of this drag queen stuff.

Sodomy is at the very heart of the liberal movement.

Jul-23-22  Rdb: So , <nok> and I got posts of <george Wallace>/<big pawn> and his buddies deleted from chessgames.com forum. If <gw>/<bp> were half the man he was a few years ago , he would boycott cg.com along with his buddies and make a new web page for his elite posters. But back then <gw>/<bp> was alpha male , not any more.

Following is the post of mine which triggered deletion of posts of troll <gw>/<bp> - <nok> started consistency push and I carried forward.

The thing with you people is that you guys do not have people skills , you do not know how to deal with people . You guys do not know how to treat ladies

Now I know how to deal with <Susan Freeman> , I know her weaknesses - she is susceptible to flattery , chivalry , charm ...

Look at me know :

<Susan Freeman> , this site is awesome and you are managing it very well .

There are only a very small number of people who are complaining - <big pawn>/<george Wallace> , his sock puppets and buddies who want to cancel people especially <zed>

But that is not about you , susan , that is about them - chess players are known to be petty , mean , grumpy , incivil ...And it is only because of you leading with example that others (except these few) behaving so well

Please ignore these people . Your site is great and we having helluva time/fun . Let these sourpusses not rain on our parade <Susan>

Once again , thanks a million for providing this great service , <Susan>

2) now , you guys watch and learn - soon I would be gifted free premium by <Susan>

Cheers 😊😊

  HeMateMe: Steve Bannon's fat ass was convicted today. He is now a convicted felon. Those are the facts, and they are incontrovertible.

The only question now is how much jail time he gets.
