if you know

Just call me Prince Myshkin.

You think hangnails are fun?  You must be a bit of a masochist.

He didn't say who's hangnail.  It may be that he's actually a sadist or simply enjoys schadenfreude.

hi borgqueen,my cousin dont want to play chess game because he said that chess game is a boring game and i said to him that because he dont know yet the moves of the pieces and the rules.so my question is am i right or wrong?.and if you are me what is your advise to my cousin so that you can convince him to play chess to me?.i wait again to your response.

lol good luck, thats like telling people classical music is better than pop

Which I recall you trying to do earlier on in this thread

well to some peoples find classical is better than pop !

Dunno where this thread is off to, but small piece of trivia - did you know that Peter Falk's 'Colombo' was based on the detective/policeman in Dostoevsky's "Crime and Punishment" ?

 I didn't know that, but the detective did remind me of Colombo when I read the book. Been a few years!

I dare anyone to read this whole forum without sleeping.

maybe he saw this and took my advice

u know what would be really funny? If we could actually see a picture of kuggie, could be interesting to see the walls of the temple that release the holy question asking power within. 

thank you borgqueen.i have another question to you,my uncle told me that if my king is not castled i have a weak power to do an offense when i playing chess,is this is true?.i wait again to your response.

thank you borgqueen,i think you are right.but when i watch the game of our grandmaster eugene torre and the world champion anatony karpov in 1976,our grandmaster won without castling his king.do you know why?.i wait again to your response.

With enough effort, we could turn "I wait again to your response" into a popular internet meme!

 Yes, but would it beat "all your base are belong to us" in popularity?

There's only one way to find out... FIGHT!!!

(Note: This probably only makes sense to UK readers.)

 Nah, I'm sure artistic merit is more important to Kuggie than mainstream success.

You have to remember just because you stategicaly position your pieces doesn't mean you will win the game.

Hats off to all of you! You have almost succeeded reaching 1000 postings on a ??? thread!
