Dear internet users...

please don't present famous chess games as your own for analysis and or discussion. Thank you.

That reminds me of this famous game I won against Jean Dufresne. I called it the evergreen game.

good one, Tommah!

To see Tommah's famous game in quick review board:

Or to see a good U-tube video with verbal annotations to Tommah's famous game:

There was also that time I beat Levitsky with 23 ...Qg3. Everybody got a kick out of that one.

Did you enjoy your golden shower? :)

plasticbishop.com will close next August.

What was plasticbishop's claim to fame?

I set up my own barebones, no-nonsense chess service a while ago; it sends the position in an email, so that once you open the email, all you have to do is make two clicks to play your turn. It was the only way I could persuade some of my friends to play!

Claim to fame? Don't think it really ha(s)(d) one. The site runner wants to spend more quality time with family. That and it is/was running at a deficit. The forums and messaging will apparently still function.

I figured that since there are so many chess sites already, anybody who made a new one would have to have some distinguishing feature. But it actually looks as if his site started out for the same reason as mine did, just to play with some friends. Luckily, mine only has about 10 users, so its expenses are minimal :)

Oh, chesscircle.net is the site with the random adverbs. I thought it looked familiar.

Don't worry, you have no fear of getting banned from here. No matter how many semi-spam posts you do about mediocre sites.
