Chat With Reyn

Doesn't look anything like me....

evening , reyn :
a bizarre picture from belgium . an enormous whale stranded on a beach in belgium (from the german newsmagazine 'spiegel') . has apparently not happened in a long time . be amazed ! hbg

I am! That is an amazing photo, for sure.

reyn, i'm 22-2-2 at stan's at this moment. think i can get to 33-3-3, or 66-6-6? i have one game going on that's probably lost, and another that could be a draw, so it could be 22-3-3 real soon.

Hey, I had a look at your page last night, and you've done very well for yourself.

You are well on your way to becoming one of the awesome players at Stan's! :wink:

thanx reyn, how much do i owe you for this flattery? at least i haven't been awful so far, but i've examined some games at stan's where there was so much going on, it made my head spin. i'll have to hit a few chess books before i get near the top level, if ever. not to mention avoiding the occasional colossal blunder.

Naw, you already paid me, remember? :wink:

You might find it helpful, by the way, to go to your History Page and make a PGN file of all your completed games. At least studying the lost or tied ones might help.

and don't you forget it, mister.

Have I reached my flattery quota yet? I could lay it on a little thicker if you like. No problem.

that's ok...people might begin to suspect your sincerity.

ok, Reyn. Do you know the lyrics to the song "Wish you were Here"? the lyrics are something like:

Someone's painting the trees all wrong this year,
Wish you were here.
And why have the birds lost their song, this year,
Wish you were here...that's all I can remember.

I'm always sincere. :wink:

Hmm, sorry Letty. Never heard of it. Mind you, I'm the wrong person to ask.

Okay, chessman, then I'll ask the turtle.

Do you know it, Yit?

i don't, either, but lyrics.info thinks it's by Eddie Fisher, and it goes "painting the leaves" instead of "trees" and "birds change their song" instead of "lost their song":

They're not making the skies as blue this year
Wish you were here
As blue as they used to when you were near
Wish you were here
And the mornings don't seem as new
Brand-new as they did with you
Wish you were here
Wish you were here
Wish you were here

Someone's painting the leaves all wrong this year
Wish you were here
And why did the birds change their song this year
Wish you were here
They're not shining the stars as bright
They've stolen the joy from the night
Wish you were here
Wish you were here
Wish you were here

[Instrumental Interlude]

Someone's painting the leaves all wrong this year
Wish you were here
Why did the birds change their song this year
Wish you were here
They're not shining the stars as bright
They've stolen the joy from the night
Wish you were here
Wish you were here
Wish you were here

Thanks, Mr. Turtle. Sister got them all wrong as well.

morning, reyn !
here is another one for your picture collection .
it's a nice sunny day in eastern ontario, but still on the cool side - just around freezing . hbg

a giant poster in hanover, germany is being cleaned prior to a major computer show.

Hey Rain! what's cookin'?

dys : reyn is up on the ladder , can't you see him ?
hbg

We're both chessmen.....lol!

Now, if you want to ask me a chess-related question, I'll probably have a better chance of answering it!
