to err is euwe. you'll need to learn how to pronounce his name to get that.
anyway he's the original president max (of fide) - so, respect.
here he got laskerized ...
stay off the malt, max!

Clever.
thank you, that's very kind of you, batgirl. it's not often (read that as never) that this dumb bunny gets such a compliment.
Wow, so many GM adult drinks.
always suspected that chess was just a way to sell drink ...
a toast to wilhelm steinitz, who got laskerized as well.
must have been the popular santa at parties ...
After looking thru this thread a terrific song came to mind: the late great ( Yes I do mean Great ) Don Ho singing " Tiny Bubbles ", I luv that song lol.
so i've covered all the official champs except for vasily smyslov. couldn't find anything to his name. the one below is fake
but this comedy of exchange of blunders with botvinnik is real (not that anyone of us is the wiser) ...

just goes to show - it ain't over till vasily sings
twice
smyslov & i got along really well.
why we even had a portrait taken together
I get drunk.
Too often.
But I'm not a GM.
you've got the 80% done. now for the remaining 20%. is that why they call it 80 proof?
80 proof? What the hell.
I honestly don't know why people think liquor tastes good.
I buy everclear. 190 proof. It's the logical choice if you want to make mixed drinks, because it costs less and tastes the same.
When I'm really drunk... like too drunk to post in the forums because I can't even type, I'm probably below 1800.
When I'm just sort of drunk, somehow I'm above 1800, if the games are 3|0 or 1|0. It's kind of weird to me.
It'd be fun to see how well a top GM could do. I'm sure they'd be beating lesser GMs pretty easily.
A miss is not a miss with Capablanca, but a blunder with 9 .. Ba6. At least he didn't stand up on the table and shout insults at Saemisch unlike Nimzo.
and that's what you get for messing with president max!
edit:
since there may be kids reading this despite the disclaimer i thought i'd explain the 'miss is not a miss' clause
which itself was derived from the bogart movie. this is a remixed version for the modern audience
