Brian, what the heck is a "punk a baby"?

langelli

I looked at Grahamtrue's profile to findout he's played 4,542 games, and only timed out of 18 of them. I have to cut him some slack. He does finish his games. OK, he is slow to move in some games, but as long as he finishes them I don't have a problem playing him. He doesn't seem to hide from games ...

"if ya gut it, flaunt it"

langelli

Brian, I still don't know the answer. Give us a list of the teams.

langelli

I can't think of any more, but here's another hockey trivia question. What player holds the record for the most stanley cup rings, and how many does he have?

langelli

Detroit, Toronto, Edmonton, NY, and Pittsburgh

langelli

what's a stickey?

langelli

Who holds the record for the most goals scored in the NHL? This should be an easy one for one who calls himself islanderfan. In fact, you should know how many goals he scored too. Cmon Brian!!!!!!!!

langelli

He wasn't a tough guy? I must be remembering wrong. I thought he was a scrapper.

langelli

I remember MacTavish. He was a TOUGH guy. Here's a question for you. Where did he play college hockey?

langelli

The last NHL player not to wear a helmet was Craig MacTavish. He retired after the 1996-97 season.

langelli

The fourth team is the Panthers, and Cliff, who the heck are the Saskatchewan Roughriders, and the Ottawa Roughriders.

langelli

There's Cardinals, Rangers, Giants, and 1 I can't remember. I'll ask my wife when she gets home. I got this from her.

langelli

Here's another one. Name the teams in the same 4 sports that have the same team name.

langelli

I missed 3 the first time I tried it.

langelli

I thought there were 8 teams, but looks like we came up with 9. Can anyone think of any we've missed. To add insult to injury, my wife came up with more than any of us did. I'm not surprised considering she's knows more about sports than most men I know. Especially baseball. 1) Red Sox 2) White Sox ...

langelli

There are 8 sports teams in Baseball, Basketball, Football, and Hockey that have team names that don't end with the letter "S". Can you name them? I'll give you the 2 easiest. Red Sox, and White Sox. Who are the other 6?

langelli

Congrats, Greg, on ten years. This is an awesome site. Thank you!

langelli

Where can I find the rules for playing on Net-Chess?

langelli

I'll play

langelli

How about death by firing squad for repeat offenders, or am I being too harsh? I miss the old days when we played across the board fron each other, and had to look our opponent on the eyes. It was much harder to be a sore sport when we wern't hiding behind a computer. So, death be firing squad? :twi...

The objectionable people are the ones that abandon games because they find themselves in a losing position. We don't mention their user names because we don't have to. They know who they are. There are circumstances when people have to take care of more important things than chess. We all know that ...

langelli

Abandoned games seems to be the price we pay for playing on a free site. I seem to always have a game or two that has been abandoned. The solution is to check ones profile before joining a match. That, of course, doesn't stop an undesirable opponent from joining a match that I post. If only life was...

langelli

eweram posted a challenge calling it a "20th century retro tourney". What does that mean?

langelli

I do use the old display, but can't seem to make it work.

langelli

I tried clicking on the upper and lower corner of the chesss board, but nothing. Please explain how to do that again.

langelli

just put their name in the user info block on the home page. It's located on the bottom left side of the page.

langelli

How can anyone honestly time out of a game? From what I've seen most time constraints are 30 days plus 2. Considering after 15-20 moves one usually has a couple of months accumulated it seems almost impossible to run out of time. I''ve never even come close. I'm not patting myself on the back, or pu...

langelli

That's a great idea, Cliff.

langelli

My apologies to rr. I guess I spoke too soon. I, too, travel sometimes for business. I always bring my laptop so I'll have something to do when I'm stuck in a hotel room. Sitting at the bar in a hotel every night gets old real fast. I guess it never dawned on me that you were away. I would love to p...

langelli

You are so right. Also, in the future I will avoid playing this player again.

langelli

I'm playing a game with a player (I won't give his name) who was making 2 to 3 moves a day until I cornered his King. It's mate in 2, and he hasn't made a move in 4 days. I guess it doesn't matter because eventually I'll get the win, but have a little class by either resigning or finishing the game.

langelli

We all know the Patriots should have won it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

langelli

It would be a shame to have a mediocre team, like Arizona, win the Superbowl. I'm not particularly fond of Pittsburg, but at least they're a half decent team. In my opinion (like it matters) rooting for Arizona is rooting for bad football. Go Pittsburg!!!!!

langelli

Thanks, Greg. I assume registered refers to net-chess members, but what is hidden and guest referring to?

langelli

Does anyone know what "Who Is Online" is referring to when it states there are a particular number of players online? Does it mean there are that many players playing at that ime, or is it referring to the number of people on the forum?

langelli

I believe he's saying that the player with no chance of winning should resign instead of not making moves until he times out.

langelli

I agree 100%. The only thing one can do is to avoid that type of player in the future.

langelli

I tip my hat to Greg Miller for this outstanding chess site. This is absolutely the best chess site out there. Congrats Greg!

langelli

How true it is. Well said!

langelli

It's not senseless. At least there's some dialog here on the forum. Most of the time it's very quiet. It's a good thing for us members to talk back and forth. At least I think it's a good thing.

langelli

There is definately a time when a player should resign. The only problem is that there are so many variables in this great game that one person can't really say when another person should or shouldn't resign.

langelli

I agree with resigning when I'm way behind in a game. I don't think 3 points behind against a player of equal skill constitutes resigning. I've lost my queen at times and still came back to win. What gets my goat more than a player not resigning when they should is when my apponent stops making move...

langelli

Happy Thanksgiving to you too.

langelli

Jets, hmmmmm!!!!!! Arch rivals to my Patriots. I did not like the ending to the Thursday night game. Then again, you probably had no problem with it. On a serious note, sudden death overtime is too unfair. The team that wins the toss almost always gets into fieldgoal range, and wins. They should ins...

langelli

I'm a Patriots fan. Don't tell me your a Giants fan.

langelli

"Happy Thanksgiving" to all my friends at Net-Chess. Thanksgiving is the best holiday of the year. Unlike Christmas, there's no pressure about gift buying. Thanksgiving is just a happy get together with all the important people in our lives. I hope everybody has a great day. Good food and good drink...

langelli

G/4 years? Explain

langelli

that's true, and only one square at at time.
