The Chump vs The Champ

[Smash]

Methinks CR is going on a trip to meet with someone whose last name starts with K.

Actually,a sandbagger is one who deceives you about their true skill level.Like a scratch golfer that enters a tournament with a 10 handicap.

Or a Mexican chess player that puts the knights and bishops on the wrong square,then blows you off the board with a 13 move combination.After goading you into a wager of course.

Not that I would know anything about that.

Hurm. Your algebric notation seems screwed up. I thought it would be like:

1. b4-c4

Then black resigns

Resign??? Never! "We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the land grounds, we shall fight in the hills and in every street. We shall never surrender!"

Or something like that!

Speaking of sandbaggers, I'm back! Sorry for the lack of presence and news on my whereabouts.

Oh yeah, the move! Getting right to it!

"Enough anglosaxian mumbo-jumbo notation! Your influence on the rest of the world is strong enough as it is already! We see it appropriate to silent such guttural, inarticulate sounds where ever they are cried out..."

Slap!

Take that!

All together now.... aaaaaahhhhhhh!!!

I was going through severe kibitzing withdrawal. Glad to have you back, CR. Even if you're not one of us. (see anglo-saxon reference above)

Thanks! BTW, what does the first sentence above mean? Have you recently been to Israel, or?

???? Kibitzing??? I suppose I could have spelled it wrong. To kibitz means to stand to the side and offer both wanted and unwanted advice, both good and bad. Not that I would ever do that.

Editing note: I just checked "kibitz" with my Word spellcheck and it appears to be correct. Give enough monkeys...

...enough typewriters and eternal life and eventually one of them will write a play by Shakespeare.

No, I didn't think you'd spelled it wrong or anything. Just didn't know what it meant and picked something sounding similar... Me King of Sweden, remember?
