Is Richard Vandenberg (ccla-knight) the same Vandenberg who was many times OTB champion of the state of Idaho?

I don't know. The only thing I can say is that ccla-knight's last name (from my knowledge) is Vandenburg, not Vandenberg.

I may have spelled his name wrong, it may indeed be Vandenberg. The man is something of a legend in Idaho having won the otb state championship many times.

I think it is quite possible. Why not ask him through private message? It would be great to know that such a player is playing at GK.

I just hoped for more intersting game. Sorry if I did not put it with right attitude: Congratualtions once again, Mariam!:) And don't forget about Wolfblack, who started this game. Being here, he was definitely one of the best GK players. Hope everything is fine with him.

i perfer to chat only chess related issues for example i read that victor kortchnoi played a game with soul of akiba Rubinstine with a medium.i knew the game was left unfinished.Is there anyone that knows anything about that game?

Message:
This looks almost too good, 8-1 after 9 finished games !!
If this continues to go GK's way you guys (and girls) would for certain have put GK on the chess map !!

Maybe GK's strength have been underestimated by your opponents, but after playing here for only a couple of weeks i have already noticed how good players there are here !!

The two games was very interesting against a tremendeous opponent, one of the strongest I meet in my GK time.

Thanks for the games jmingos, I hope you got "a taste" of the GK community and maybe you would like to play on here later!

Happy Holidays everyone

Message:
We wish the GameKnot team happy holidays and a great year 2003.

Our team has received its first "gift" early, namely much to think about, but that is okay. Little does one learn from easy games. I am happy we have this match anyway.

Thanks for your kind hospitality and especially to those who worked hard to make this happen.

All the best,
Volker (reddorg)
CCLA team captain

Thanks for all kind words. I lost the winning chance in the 2nd game when I set up the pieces wrong on the board (43.a5? , 43.c6!). I,d liketo thank schachfruend for giving me a chance to play for GK team. When she found out that I wish to play and there was no place for a new player she withdrew from the team.
Best wishes,

Congratulations

Message:
Congratulations Peter on a fine victory. From the score and the positions of the games in progress, things are looking very good for Gameknot. When the match started I hadn't played many games here and I thought there must surely be a lot of ratings inflation. I can see that is not the case.
