Happppppppppppppppppp New Year everybody!! I hope that you all have had wonderful holidays, and a fantastic new year.

Well I still have one week left of holidays before I have to go back to work. So tonight I sit with a lovely chilled glass of wine, wasting my holidays accordingly. Ahh...tis the life!

Great work to the team ...look at us go up and up!!! We ROCK!

Also, BIG round of applause to Peter.... great job in setting up 'It's a knockout'..... shall be heaps of fun and a good way to get to know fellow team members!! I am currently locked horns with the ever so charming muppyman...wish me luck, I do feel I may need it. :-)

Well, just dropping in, lets get the 2007 party going!!

Go GBH!

is a foe not to be trifled with! I know...he trifled me a few times...Ive got the scars to prove
it!


Happy New Year to all the GBH gang...we are more numerous than ever...and I dont get to
know you all like I used to....a bit sad, I think. But anyway, Ive been on the team for awhile
and was the Captain for a short period of time ( we did well! ) I have some health problems
Im working thru and Im counting on 2007 to solve them.

I once had an 18 game streak without a loss in team games and currently have a 5 game run
going...my little source of team fulfillment!

Cheers to Peter for his work on the Tourney...well done! Nice idea to get us a bit more
cohesive...

And many thanks to our team Captain, Grandphish for his monumental efforts in taking the
team score up the ladder...I remember being 160 with a minus sign in front of it! So, we
have come a long way. In many ways, if you don't know, astinkyfart ran this team for
several years and did a crack job of finding great people that actually cared about each other.

I typically enjoy giving him a hard time but today I'll say thank you stinky for all the hard
years when we had no identity and you chiseled one out of rock...with your own muscle.
(probably why it took so long...8)) Of course our Founder (Co-Founder?) was Rich and he'll
drink to that, Im quite sure.

Have a safe, great year and my wish for this team is to continue up the charts and still remain
friends/acqauintences with as many of you as possible....

To the GBH!

January 3 Team Notes

Message:
THANKS, BOUNTY HUNTERS FOR A GREAT 2006. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

CONGRATULATIONS BOUNTY HUNTERS !!!
Yesterday we established a new ALL TIME HIGH SCORE for our team. 168 tops our previous record of 164!!!
Go Bounty Hunters.

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE DECEMBER BOUNTY HUNTERS OF THE MONTH
chupacabra and cjjpeterson tied for BHOTM honors with a score of +8. Great hunting!

GLOBAL BOUNTY HUNTERS TEAM TOURNAMENT #7 - IT'S A KNOCKOUT
By now you should have received your pairing for the first round of the tournament. Please start your games as soon as possible.
If you are having trouble starting your game due to the number of games limit, please lower your team game preference temporarily to 2.
This will prevent me from accidentally starting a team game for you until you finish a game or two and can get your knockout game started.
Once your knockout game has started, you can reset your team game preference to whatever suits your situation and I will find new team games for you.
I hope that everyone will participate and enjoy this new tournament format. Thanks to our director, peterf, for overseeing the tournament.
Good luck to all players.

Please join me in welcoming astinkyfart back to full-time status with the team.

I agree, the bastard astinkyfart, should have adjectives that describe his basticity...calling
him a bastard is like saying..."Hey Fred..." to be fair to him...you really ought to add things
like:

old, stupid, good for nothing, rotten, pea brained, smelly, silly, etc...

Otherwise...whats the point?

Our Captain has just drawn a game against Cyrano who has been rated No 1 on Gameknot for some considerable time This is a fantastic achievement and I recommend that everyone should track thru that game. Then for dessert, play thru the game Grandphish drew with Harpov recently - another absorbing game and great result for Ro.

PS - Muppy - if you can follow the logic behind all of the moves in these two games, could you give me a call - thanks

PUZZLE OF THE DAY

No solution has been posted to the January 4 puzzle.
monkeybiker posted a partial solution to the January 5 puzzle:
1. Ra8+ Kd7 (1. ... Nb8 2. Bxb7+ Kd8 3. Rxb8+ Bc8 4. Rxc8#) 2. Rxh8
However, there is a more forcing move available, so I am leaving the January 5 puzzle open for solving.

January 8 Puzzle:


White to move and win.

One more try at Jan 5th puzzle

Message:
Okay, how about this:

1. Bxc6 bxc6 (If 1. ... Qa3, then 2. Rxa3 Kd8 (2. ... bxc6 3. Qxc6 Kd8 4. Ra8+ Ke7 5. Rxh8 Rxd2) 3. Ra8+ Ke7 4. Rxh8 bxc6 5. Qxc6 Rxd2; on any move other than 1. ... bxc6 or 1. ... Qa3, then Ra8#) 2. Qxc6 Qa3 (on any other move 3. Ra8#) 3. Rxa3 Kd8 4. Ra8+ Ke7 5. Rxh8 bxc6 6. Qxc6 Rxd2

I've got a bad feeling that this is one of those puzzles with a much easier solution than I just tortured myself to generate.

What is all this ruckus...

Message:
It is just crazy in here! Can bearly pretend to think....

Hmm, I have nothing really valuable to contribute, which is so unlike me...i know!!

I did however KICK MAJOR bootie in a game against astinkyfart...yeah baby! I rock...
(I am sorry stinky, I have to gloat..may be my only chance!!)
Also, let it be known that Mr Flyer is not being as hospitable...shame on him... I think I am up for my 4th a** whooping?? Lost count now...LOL

First week back at work...and I am extrememly productive...can you tell?

Also hope all is well with you Grandphish, and that all the cute nurses made ur short stay comfortable ;)

Eureka - puzzles solved

Message:
But first, kudos to neeta for wiping stinkyfart (excuse the expression). She might do the same to me...

Jan. 4 puzzle is so simple, I don't know why it took so long. 1. Qe7+ Rxe7 2. Nf6#.

Buoyed by that, I tackled the Jan. 5 puzzle again and came up with 1. Qxb7+ Kxb7
2. Rfb1+ Kc8 3. Bxc6 Kd8 4. Rb8+ Bc8 5. Rxc8+ Kxc8 6. Ra8#

Jan. 8 puzzle: 1. Qxd8+ Kxd8 2. Bf6+ Ke8 3. Rc8#

Breaker --

Black has some other options you didn't address:

1. Qxb7+ Kxb7 2. Rfb1+ Kc8 3. Bxc6 Qa3 4. Rxa3 Kd8 then the Black king can flee to e7.

Jan. 5th puzzle torment

Message:
I finally cracked and ran the position through Fritz. I won't post the results in case someone can actually solve the Jan 5th puzzle on their own, but I will say the position is VERY tough to calculate (at least at my Class D level). Hint: I was wrong when I posted that after 1. Bxc6 bxc6 2. Qxc6, any move other than Qa3 leads to 3. Ra8#.

IT'S A KNOCKOUT news ...

Message:
There are still five games from Round 1 yet to begin. They are:

cathleya vs chimane
control_reset vs chupacubra
ekto vs brocoli
outofthebox vs lazarus
red pawn vs kapablanca

Unless these games are underway by the end of Janury, the following rules will apply

- The "offending" player will lose by default.
- In an instance where both players involved in a game are not in a position to start by tghe due date, the game will be awarded to the higher ranked player

There are two short term solutions available to those whose games number is a problem - the first is a one month GK membership subscription for around $ 7.00 - the other is to have a neutral person (me) host the game on my site - this is being done for one game already - but this option is only available for round 1.

Please remember that it is the responsibility of the lower ranked player to choose colour and issue the challenge - or at least commence a dialogue with their opponent to sort out any difficulties.

Ley me know if I can help further
