LATEST LEAGUE RESULT 27/10/2014

Tonight`s match between Fruithill and BS ended in a draw.
I am waiting for Rookies match report.

***********************************************
1.A.DELANEY 0.5-0.5 R.DEVENNEY
2.C.MARRON 0-1 S.FLANAGAN
3.F.CARRUTHERS 1-0 B.MacLEAN
4.G.COLLINS 1-0 D.RUBEN
5.J.MONAGHAN 0-1 J.BRYARS
TOTAL 2.5-2.5

Favourites The A Team were almost “bowled” over at Falls Bowling Club. Fruithill were not as “green” as their ratings implied but were unable to “crown” their achievements with outright victory.

They certainly displayed an optimistic “I’m alright, Jack” attitude throughout the match!

Board One failed to “de-liver De-laney or De-venney de-cisive 

de-nts in their de-fences”, ending in a draw.


To be “frank”, Carruthers won a piece early on and “bruised” Bruce’s ego

Ciaran was “marron” his team’s chances of victory by losing to Sam.

Collins proved he was not “Gerry-atric” in beating David.

Finally, Captain Monaghan’s chances of clinching a match victory went down the “toilet” in the battle of the 2 “Johns”.

This is not directly related to Chess, however it may be useful for anyone who makes Chess videos.

Earlier this week I was contacted by the BBC, they wanted permission to broadcast the video of a very young Carl Frampton sparring in the Midland Boxing Club. The video is below.


From this morning sole Copyright of this video belongs to CRAIG FRAMPTON who is Carl`s wiser and more handsome brother. 

Craig is like me, he does not willingly get his photograph taken and he does not post pictures of himself on the internet.

The only known images of Craig are in the video below where he can be seen standing on the rubble which was once my house and he is asking me, "If I am going to the boxing club." He appears at about 25 seconds on the timeline.



So if any big broadcasting companies want to publicly show the Carl Frampton sparring video, they must get permission from Craig, if they can locate him!

Just shows you, you never know who is watching your videos? 
If anyone has Chess videos, they may find it useful to copyright them just in case some big broadcasting company wants to use them for broadcast purposes.

                                     C.LEITCH                                0-1             S.FLANAGAN

                                     R.HARRIS                              0-1              B.MacLEAN

                                     F.MacDONALD                0.5-0.5         J.BRYARS

                                    S.KEERS                                  0-1             D.RUBEN

An amazing result against a stronger team on paper!

Gabor found a strong pawn move in the opening, bur Ray fought back valiantly until a late oversight saw Ray “fray” at the edges.

Bruce was able to “harass” Harris and force Ross to a “loss”.

I remember Fred as a junior But I’m “afred” “old MacDonald’s form” only allowed him to draw with John.

“Sam’s your man” after he followed up his Isle of “Man”  Major victory last week with a win over Calum.

So, it all boiled down to the bottom board, where Keers was in “teers”-it’s a “shame” Shane’s defeat lost Lindores the match.

But The A Team proved their name is not a misnomer!!

Incidentally the secret of communicating knowledge by preaching and writing were set out thousands of years ago by Solomon himself.
He gave all the principles of effective communication in Ecc 12:9-11.
There is no one alive today who is wiser than Solomon nor will there ever be, not even Magnus Carlsen or Fabiano Caraunna.

Ecc 12:9 And moreover, because the preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge; yea, he gave good heed, and sought out, and set in order many proverbs.

10 The preacher sought to find out acceptable words: and that which was written was upright, even words of truth.

11 The words of the wise are as goads, and as nails fastened by the masters of assemblies, which are given from one shepherd.

Ecc 12:12  And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh.

WHO COULD POSSIBLY RESURRECT THE NYT CHESS COLUMN?

An article has appeared about the New York Times Chess column. It seems it is about to be de-commissioned.
Is there anyone who could resurrect this Chess column?

There is only one columnist who could take on this monumental task. It is the legendary "ROOKIE."

Here is his latest report on a local league match.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
                          Belfast South seconds                                 Civil Service

                                     J.MCKENNA                                   1-0            M.NEWMAN

                                    C.ARMSTRONG                         0.5-0.5        D.JACKSON

                                    S.CRITCHLOW                               1-0            D.FERGUSON

                                   W.STOREY                                   0.5-0.5        G.HINDLEY

                                   R.MCDONALD                                0-1           A.DORNFORD-SMITH

The Civil Service team toasted their drinks to the late, great Alan Burns before the start of the match.

Robert’s early defeat “caused a crisis, but crucially Critchlow’s critical faculties crunched out a comfortable point”!

Geoff scrambled a draw against William-but that’s another “Storey”!

“Chris crossed” swords with David, ending in a drawn endgame!

It came down to the last game, where John “wheeled” out the big guns against Mark and felt like a “Newman” after his devastating win!

Martin Kelly (Captain)

I doubt if Nigel Short or anyone else could invent as many puns per sentence as ROOKIE.

A WORD OF THANKS

I would to express my thanks to the organisers and sponsors of the recent Isle of Man Chess tournament. 
It was very enjoyable and well run.

I would also particularly like to thank local Isle of Man players for their very warm and friendly welcome.

Of course I must also congratulate Nigel Short on his marvellous victory.
Just goes to show, "British is best" lol

ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SIGHTS IN THE IOM

Here is a short video clip of one of the most beautiful sights I came across in the IOM.  It was a beautiful Weimaraner called Jake.

FINAL VIDEO FROM IOM MASTERS AND YOUR CHANCE TO WIN £1,000,000

This is the final video clip of the IOM Masters and it is also your chance to win a cool 1 million sterling in used banknotes! 
All you have to do is solve a puzzle. The puzzle comes in two parts, an easy part and a hard part.
For the easy part all you have to do is identify the mysterious beautiful female at the end of this video clip. Once you do that you can then start the hard part.

When you can answer who the beatiful female is, you then send the answer to Gerry Adams MI5 handler. When you send the correct answer to Gerry`s handler, he or she will then send you a cool £1,000,000 in used Northen Bank notes as a reward!

Obviously the hard part is locating Gerry Adam`s MI5 handler!

To get you started, I will give you a clue to the identity of the mysterious beautiful female in the video. Her name may or may not be Abigail.
