Maggie's too fast too strong ... to cook
My main man Maurice

Thanks for these games! Today's GMs are just as capable as past GMs of creating many beautiful games. There are just so many strong GMs these days that they don't seem as impressive.
You're most welcome :-) while most people study the champs, sometimes the gems of 'lesser' masters are forgotten.

wonder how Maurice would do if he had to play while being keel hauled ?
and how did he miss 21 Bd5 against Naka ?

I'm sure he saw it. Sometimes at least for me at least once I've made a move that I did not intend after long calculations. Don't know if that happens to others. More often in faster games I also end up consciously playing a move I previously rejected in an earlier branch of calculations. Maybe these things happen to GMs too. Or more likely, it could be something he smoked earlier ...

LOL
the most disgusting noodles 🍜 in Malaysia, ever!

kids everywhere in the world seem to love it. local army guys swear by it. in fact, my first taste of maggi was in the army.

young maurice goes through the arnold & willis phase of different strokes
1. honing the famous "whatcha talkin bout willis?" look
2. guess who looks like willis on the right?

Cripes! Liv Tyler is the snog of the century!!
(and that she can't get Maggie's mind off chess is a really bad sign)
The only problem I have with Liv is that her jaw reminds me of her dad. Have a similar problem with Angelina Jolie. Hard to unsee the dad ...
this usually only happens to homosexual men. nothing wrong with being homosexual btw.

speaking from experience i'm sure. however my experience is that even if it's true for you, it doesn't generalize ;-)

nope, i see a beautiful woman and a beautiful woman only if i look at her. no homoerotic phantasies on my part.

which part? yet you speak of things you pretend you cannot relate to. strange - almost queer.
oh wait, you're a new account with a recent op in https://www.chess.com/forum/view/chess-players/is-it-ding-liren-or-liren-ding as follows:
also, is it wei yi or yi wei? dong long or long dong?

blocked gr0thend1eck. i don't seen this discussion ending in a clean fashion.
plus there are no players with personalities the real world admires, like Bobby and Tal. what the chessworld needs now is an alien from another galaxy to relocate to earth, get american citizenship and kick Maggie's butt.
