Chess for Oldtimers --- Good Idea !

i am  from  the  uk  but  they  have  shown  the  wrong  flag

Thanks for the post De40. At the bottom of the screen is a listing for help and support. If you click onto that they may be able to help.

I believe there is a district in Cornwall known as Bulgaria.

(Okay, I just made that up.) 

--- Thanks for the posts.

One can have a lot of fun with names. For example how many people living in New York would even know that there is a city in the UK called York ?

I can't believe this thread is still alive

What happened a few months ago was there was a little competition to revive old threads amongst a few people late at night. People never cottoned on to this and carried on posting on this thread..amusing in a chess.com trollish sort of way....

---Thanks for the recent posts.

Well is seems that this old cabby fellow insists on posting in his own threads and so we carry on ( and on and on )  lol.

Sir, I began memorizing GM games as part of my training and I have most definitely noticed I am more alert, and able to just think faster. I remember the '72 championship very well. Take care and good luck to you.

--- Thanks for the post Sir and the good wishes. Glad to hear that things are going well for you with the memorization. In my case I spent part of my childhood in Germany and now I'm trying to improve my understanding of the German language.

There is even a town called York here in Western Australia (97km east of Perth)

--- Thanks for the info Kco. I had my Atlas handy here today and looked it up, yes one can indeed learn something new every day  lol.

Interesting, cabby -- I hope you've had no trouble figuring out that You, unlike JFK (whose speech writers did him a Huge disservice), are Not "a Pastry." ;-D

--- Hello Motherinlaw, Thanks for the new post. Yes as I am from the southern part of Germany I'm definitely not a " Berliner "  lol. If I were a pastry I would be a Black Forest Chocolate Cake. However over the years I've often been called a " Dummkopf " for some reason ( Hey not everybody can be an Einstein ).

Hey cab, all this time I thought you were fluent in Deutsch!

--- Thanks for the posts HueyWilliams ( and the photo of that nice Cake  hmmm ). I'm reasonably good at speaking in German but my reading and writing do need some work tho.

Hey, I can still sing the entire Der Weinerschnitzel theme by heart!
