Play online chess |  Subject: Blitz:a poor gambit & misc other comments
Message:
Hello, I have not seen a blitz thread recently. So here's one. You don't have to stick my area
of comment on it. Post other blitz thoughts, games, ettiquette, good, bad, amusing, or a
Maytag washing machine ... all these things can come from a blitz game. Or wait, was that
from a Black Hole? Well close enough, we'll lump it in. Here's my peeve for the day ....
* * *
You are playing along, after mutual Hello's were exchanged at the onset or there abouts. Find
yourself in a winning position coming out of the opening, but already a minute and half down
on time ... suddenly your opponent decides it would be nice to know where you are from, the
annual rainfall there, and name of your firstborn.
So okay, am I just getting grumpy? Maybe its just a matter of they figure "the games about
over" lets talk now. I can understand that. But it makes me wonder . . . especially if I have
two minutes left and it gets chatty.
Should I have a Notepad or perhaps Paste set up beforehand to send in this situation?
Should it say, "Hey I love to chat, let's do some PM's after this game, or just stay on and chat
here! Right now, I got to play." or would I be better with:
"Ja, Hi Hi. Hello hey. How today are you? " "Do speaks you some eastern Irutuskan?"
"Goodf good? Ja or no? No more Englis I have" "Potensky andrejez undta das hasta faux
tempus gleeban ola' schach de monkay?" .
Or option #3 ...
Oh I love to chat! I am from America, Iowa, 4th hill north of Berry Creek! Where you from?
How far is that from you? I have played 20 years, when did you start? Did your Mom teach
you? What do you do? Do you like this opening? What's it called? What time is it at your
house? Why do you like Chess? What other games have you played? Where else do you play?
What are your ratings there? Who do you know there? If I visit you do they Pepsi there? Who
are your top ten chess players of alltime? Why do you think so? You are good, I bet you playt
tournaments! What happened at your last tournament? Do you know how that 3 times draw
works? I don't get it ... can you explain? Briefs or boxers? Taco's or Pizza? Britney or Kristina?
Miller's or Bud? BTW
Are you are Girl? How old are you, 21? Can you prove that? Or did you mean "12" like Ten
plus Two, LOL ...haha
* * * * * * * * *
You DID ... um lol !?

GAME ABANDONED, YOU HAVE WON

Endgames, part 1: Rook against Bishop — A superb lesson from Magnus Carlsen in endgame technique. It's been a while since we looked at the endgame, so this week we begin a short series on this often neglected area with a terrific demonstration of endgame technique from the ever-improving chess world No 1 Magnus Carlsen. Although White has the advantage of rook against bishop, Black has an extra pawn and a solid position on the chess board. How did Carlsen make progress? RB I'm pretty sure the answer lies in g4. The question is whether to nudge the pawn forward immediately or whether some preparation is needed first, perhaps exchanging on d5 or advancing the king to e3. The only way is concrete calculation, so let's see what ...

Dortmund Begins — The Sparkassen Chess-Meeting (an odd name, to be sure) began Thursday in Dortmund. Though the chess tournament is not at the level of Linares or Corus, it still attracts top players, notably Vladimir Kramnik, the former world chess champion from Russia. Kramnik has been associated with Dortmund, as the chess event is often referred to, for many years because he has won the tournament nine times, far more than any other. He first won it in 1995 and is the defending champion this year. The tournament is a double-round robin this year, meaning each competitor plays all the others twice, once with each color. In addition to Kramnik, the No. 4 chess player in the world, the field includes ...

Message:
... Generally I would be concentrating so heavily on the game it would take several moves before any message would impress itself on my consciousness. OK, it wiould take a while for me to notice. Now, being pretty unhandy with the keyboard, it would also take a long time for me to couch any kind of response. So anyone wanting to chat would have to be v-e-r-y p-a-t-i-e-n-t. Quite a few weren't, but most were. Of course we didn't get to say much...

Zhao and Zatonskih Lead Chess Championships — Anna Zatonskih, the defending chess champion, took the lead of the U.S. Women’s Championship on Wednesday, while Parker Zhao, the ninth seed, solidified his grip on the U.S. Junior Championship. The two chess tournaments are being held concurrently at the Chess Club and Scholastic Center of Saint Louis. Zatonskih had shared the lead for the last few rounds with Irina Krush, the top seed. But in Round 5 on Wednesday, Zatonskih beat Iryna Zenyuk, while Krush only drew against Camilla Baginskaite. Zatonskih now leads with 4.5 points, while Krush and Tatev Abrahamyan, who beat Abby Marshall on Wednesday, have 4 each. In the junior championship, Zhao, who ...
