 An Open Letter to Ville Valo The day has come. I have discovered you call yourself "A Chess Player" ... among other things I am sure. Let us stick to chess. Actually, I have discovered this some time ago, but was waiting for the proper time to the challege. A day of boredom, or my wife asking me to help make egg noodles. Whichever came first. As for your Chess I have heard that you are pretty ... well they call you pretty anyway. So I said to myself, "I", "today is the day you must challenge Ville Valo to a game of Chess, because he is ... funny.". ( And I Kaaarrrrrrrrrruuuuuuuuuusssssssssssssssssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh you like a Ghoti, ahhhhh). A two game match. Black in one, Chartruese in the other. And no singing at the board ! I like Collective Soul. ED RULES!!! So the gauntlett is thrown. And I heard you are okay with gauntlets. So what do you say? We play to the death, yes? No wait, we play for Pink Slips, my world renowned moniker vs that silly little dingle you have, that penti-heart that cannot even be Made with a Keyboard, except in Finland. I am that confident. kaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuushhhhhhhhhh BaronDerKilt }8-D ahhhhhhhhhhh haha, I laugh at you, I laugh at your Chess, I Laugh At your GUITAR PLAYER heheheh heh (Please let me crush you, dont make me ask some, some some some , some drummer or something!) |

oh yeah ... I hear Smyslov could you know. But my own dead, I would find it fascinating to play Pillsbury during one of his blindfold sessions. BUT I get to be at My Peak game for it, since he would be at his too. Or maybe to say, I would BE Pillsbury if I could have their talent. But maybe Play a game with TAL. Again, I get to be at my best. And maybe its even a Postal Game. Something that would help me warm up for my Diamano's D. match with Carlsen ... |

what gets me revved up for the challenge is Botvinnik's remark: |

C'mon Ville ... |

tough decision... |

Lincoln at the board: (an article entitled ‘The Next President’): "Lincoln takes delight in the movement on the ordinary, as well as of the political chess-board, and plays a fair game, but not a first rate one. "He has a habit of whistling and singing all the time – his musical ability being confined to one tune, and that tune is 'Dixie Land.' "While playing chess, Mr Lincoln seems to be continually thinking of something else. Those who have played with him say he plays as if it were but a mechanical pastime to occupy his hands while his mind is busy with some other subject, just as one often twirls a cane, or plays with a string, or as a pretty coquette toys with her fan. "The way any man plays, either at a game of skill or of chance, is generally a pretty fair index to his character. Success or defeat – the chances – the variations in the probability of triumph – the turning point in the struggle – the exhibition of temper under all circumstances – the stubborn defence in hopeless resistance –the spirited attack with the weaker force, and all the incidents of mimic warfare contribute to develop the strong points of a man’s character. Nor does Lincoln suffer by judgement under this rule. "He plays what chessplayers call a 'safe game.' Rarely attacking, he is content to let his opponent attack while he concentrates all his energies in the defence – awaiting the opportunity of dashing in at a weak point, or the expenditure of his adversary’s strength, self-reliant in adversity, magnanimous in success, and undaunted by defeat, he is the model of a chess general." >> Earlier, G.W. Harris recalled that in Springfield, Illinois: He was a regular participant in chess games - especially with U.S. Judge Samuel Treat. << "Mr. Lincoln was fond of playing chess, and usually acted cautiously upon the defensive until the game had reached a stage where aggressive movements were clearly justified." >> |

chessboxing: "The thinking man's contact sport" The basic idea in chessboxing is to combine the #1 thinking sport and the #1 fighting sport into a hybrid that demands the most of its competitors – both mentally and physically. In a chessboxing fight two opponents play alternating rounds of chess and boxing. The contest starts with a round of chess, followed by a boxing round, followed by another round of chess and so on. A contest consists of 11 rounds, 6 rounds of chess, 5 rounds of boxing. A round of chess takes 4 minutes. Each competitor has 12 minutes on the chess timer. A round of boxing takes 3 minutes. Between the rounds there is a 1 minute pause, during which competitors change their gear. The contest is decided by: checkmate (chess round), exceeding the time limit (chess round), retirement of an opponent (chess or boxing round), KO (boxing round), or referee decision (boxing round). If the chess game ends in a stalement, the opponent with the higher score in boxing wins. If there is an equal score, the opponent with the black pieces wins.">> for instance: <<" ChessBoxing London 2009 ChessBoxing in Bethnel Green, London on 23rd April Mark Crowther Thursday 14th April 2009 There is a ChessBoxing Tournament at Bethnal Green Working Men's Club 23rd April 2009. Tickets from www.londonchessboxing.com or by calling 07956 196 780 Tickets start from £15 The event is presented by the London ChessBoxing Club presents in association with The ChessBoxing Organisation. Each bout will comprise 11 scheduled rounds of 4 minutes chess followed by 3 minutes boxing. All bouts to be concluded by 11pm Venue: Bethnal Working Men's club 44-46 Pollard Row London E2 6NB Doors open: 7pm First Bout: 8pm Prompt Chess Commentary provided IM Malcolm Pein Bouts Nick Cornish V Sebastian Bauersfeld Weight 82kg Weight: 80kg Hometown: London Hometown: Berlin Record: n/a Record: 4 wins 1 loss Nick's first ChessBoxing bout promises to be a memorable encounter against a German opponent Sebastian Bauersfeld, aiming to add to an already impressive tally of wins. The Englishman making his debut in the sport may be the underdog, but Nick is counting on the full-throated backing of a partisan crowd, in this St George's Day duel, to tip the balance in his favour. Sascha Wandkowsky V Konrad Rikardson Weight: 79kg Weight: 79kg Hometown: Berlin Hometown: Malmo Record: 5 wins 2 losses Record: 1 win 1 loss From a technical standpoint, the standout encounter of the night. Konrad is an able boxer with great handspeed and the ability to put together stunning combinations. Sascha is a powerful hitter with a competitive drive that belies his placid nature outside the ring. Both men are excellent chess players and this is certain to be a close contest. Bob "The Red Kite" Innes V Jimbo "The Slice" Taylor Weight: 100kg Weight: 100kg Hometown: Cardiff Hometown: Bristol Record: 0 wins 1 loss Record: 1 win 0 losses A rematch following their October encounter at this venue when Bob was abruptly felled by a sharp left-hook from the Bristol man. Both men have a great track record in amateur boxing with Bob a former Scottish Universities champion at heavyweight and superheavyweight, while Jimbo is renowned for his pugilistic exploits in the West Country. Bob is looking for revenge and claims he is even better prepared this time having improved his chess game and stepped up his training for the occasion. Matt "Crazy Arms" Read V Hubert "The Wardrobe" Van Melick Weight: 80kg Weight: 90kg Hometown: London Hometown: Amsterdam Record: n/a Record: n/a Matt has a height and reach advantage to offset against Hubert's superior bulk and his chessboard skills maybe the deciding factor here although Hubert is a fast improving ChessBoxer and nothing can be taken for granted. The bout will be fought at amateur level with headguards and round times reduced by one minute Doors open 7.30pm all bouts to be completed by 11pm Interval Entertainment and after-party until late.

I could see this going Tag Team too ... Suddenly! Clock-punch TAG, GATA jumps up and throws a hay-maker barely missing Nigels Dad and inadvertently lands it on Nigel, who himself jumps up to gut punch Gata with a Rook, who slumps to the floor. Whereupon Nigel points to the fallen and proclaims, I may take that from Garri; but you sir, are Not a Baboon! Ah yes, pass the popcorn and crumpets, please |

Well well well who would have thought ... Im thinking along the lines of Barrack Obama or The Pope next. (Sorry Gene, but like what you done for me lately, you know?) Or perhaps Shaq O'Neil if the television $$ is right. I know, Bobby Fischer, that name just keeps coming up in my mailbox. But Im saving that one till I need a shooWin. I pretty confident there, of collecting game set and match on the Show Up rule ... Whoever is next, they will have to wait a bit now. I have taken on an extra GK game ... |
