The following case is not even remotely as interesting as the above.
With one exception.
And for a very different reason.
And that is the 3:07 to 3:47 section, which is incredible to think is not mechanically auditorially enhanced:

Time, where does it go?
Never heard of this woman before today ...
Googling Thanksgiving Day Parade and the names Lance Parrish (1984 Detroit Tigers) and Dennis Archer (former Detroit Mayor) come up, and I recognize those, but the names of relatively recent yesteryear do not come any longer:
Chuck Gaidica, Bill Bonds, Diana Lewis, Carmen Harlan, Amir Macobson ...
Not sure of the spelling of the names ... For not so much seen as heard in the background at nearly all family gatherings ...
Reminds me of the award given at the Detroit Lions Thanksgiving game every year ... They actually used to give a turkey as a prize for one of the most productive players, iirc ...
Man. Thanksgiving Parade, Floats, Channel 4 and 7, Detroit Lions, family, and turkey dinner with all the trimmings ...
Life nearly always felt great on such days ...

Hey, Riv.
Happy Thanksgiving!

I suspect quite a few people are drinking today.
I don't usually get the degree of success I've found this past hour ...

Wilhelm Steinitz forever changed the way chess is played with his revolutionary theories, thus earning him the title of the “Father of Modern Chess.” Steinitz did awaywith the Romantic era of chess—a period when unsound attacks and flashy sacrifices were the norm—and substituted a more scientific and analytical way of playing.
It's somewhat of a shock to read this ...
Probably the most influential chess game I've ever seen, the one that more or less single-handedly re-ignited my imagination and my belief in the game as different from more "rigid", less adaptable, less rewarding-of-initiative games,
was a Wilhelm Steinitz game that people now refer to as "Steinitz vs Rock".
It was, in many ways, the MOST unsound-looking, most sacrificial game I could have imagined a high-level gamer playing. The guy STARTS OUT giving up his rook, a 5 point advantage to his opponent in a game where even 3 points is often considered decisive. Then Steinitz gives away a pawn without retaliation, putting himself further in the hole. Then another.
Then Steinitz gets threatened with a greater loss of material than all those combined. And makes this game a classic.
I don't think anybody who knows ANYTHING about chess beyond all the rules, special cases, and how the pieces move will prove fully unable to appreciate what Steinitz does here. It has to be seen by the novice to be believed:

Illustration of the last game logged by me a little before.
Going by the rating of my opponent, this is probably the greatest technical win I've had, but the win was by resignation of my opponent, not through me check mating him.

Recent game won by timeover.
Opponent, playing Black, was still dangerous and had a legit chance to win, but it can be hard to find the perfect move when your clock's winding down ...

Riv gave a good "Intro to Chess" these last dozen or so pages in terms of text.
Those promise to be stable enough that I essentially compiled a guide from what he typed. However, as I know all too well, no KMC member has much control over how long Image Host Providers (IHPs) remain viable.
They often go out of business, as was the case of All You Can Upload, Picamatic, if memory serves, and, most recently, TinyPic.com.
And when they do all visual contributions sent through them disappear forever.
So, it only makes sense to try to preserve particularly potentially useful scans by re-uploading them through a different host.
With that in mind:
