The 2,000,000th post game

Game played many days earlier.

Strikes me as interesting:
Here, against a higher-ranked player, I essentially won with the material disadvantage I had my opponent at on the previous page.
But my opponent didn't have the dynamic bishops-pinning strategy I had going on in yesterpage's game:

Algebraic Chess Notation re-visited.

I am yet trying to find images of a board that reflects Black's perspective algebraically, too, not just White's ...

Michula Nunez and Greta Pontarelli, respectively.

I've seen articles on both. Oddly, both articles make explicit mention of the fact that these two women seem to have VERY happy husbands mmm ...

Riv, give some feedback please --
Were you able to understand the games I've posted the past few pages?
Or were they as hard to understand as the Steinitz vs Rock chess video that I posted a month or so ago?

Do game logs like the following make any sense once I've removed the time stamps from them?

Daniel T. Willingham would take this as a challenge, I think ...

I can follow things you post, but as an analogy, it’s like watching ppl engage in a fast paced martial arts fight.; I know what i’m seeing, i just can’t understand it.

This is actually somewhat encouraging to hear.

For people may not be able to understand something like Michael Knowles' current evaluation of America's most famous Don ...

... but something like fight comprehension and/or appreciation?

That can generally be taught.

Lee Wylie does a good job of this, for instance:

... at least if Jim Lampley is to be believed:

(Praise for Wylie's "Art of Moving" video)

Time-permitting, perhaps we'll see if I can't eventually achieve something similar...

What's the longest chess game ever played and does it out last Pi. 3.14?

Card games have been popularly accounted to the French. As believed by some experts, Poker derives its name from the French game"Poque"that comprised of betting and bluffing and used a deck of cards with the four suits of Spades, Hearts, Clubs and Diamonds.

Also a German game named"Pochen"or"Pochpiel"is known to have given the name of Poker.

As per some historians, the name Poker could have sourced from the Hindi word"pukka".

The word 'poke'is also believed by some to have come from a popular terms used by magicians, 'hocus pocus".

Another interesting theory is that "Poker" came from an underworld slang 'poke'used by pickpockets in Mississippi, back in the days , where they conned people over a 20-card game.

Another possibility states that "Poker" may have indirectly evolved from the Danish word 'pokker' referring to the devil.

TheTexas Hold "emvariant of Poker got its name so because its first game was played in Robstown, Texas around the year 1900.

According to a well-known belief, somewhere around 969 A.D., the Chinese game of Dominos similar to Poker was immensely popular.

Traces of Poker can be tracked back to Egypt in the 12th or 13th century, where a particular type of playing cards were used to play the game.

The early 16th century saw the ancestors of Poker in a variety of betting games in Persia. 'Ganjifa' or 'Traditional Cards"' were used for these games.

The five player Persian game of'As Nas", using a 25-card deck and 5 suits was played in the 17th century. The game involved several rounds of betting and ordered ranking of cards and held most resemblance to the game of Poker.
