From zefrank

Blame /., but glad to have finally been introduced. Got my girlfriend watching too.

Bear in mind I never learned encoding/tags for Wiki, so it ain't pretty.

The confusion! Your username is Brigade but your signature suggests it's ßrigade, which is the same as ssrigade! Ahh, which is it!? Benbread 16:19, 28 June 2006 (PDT)

Just being cute .. it's purely ornamental. ß = Greek letter 'Beta'

Wikipedia suggests: ""ß" should not be confused with the lowercase Greek letter beta ("β"), which it closely resembles" Benbread 13:43, 5 July 2006 (PDT)

That's odd .. we know that Wiki is all-knowing, and that ß sits right in the middle of the Extended Ascii Chart between all the other greek characters .. like α and Γ and π .. silly computer programmers and their encoding random characters in ASCII.

ß is also stands for 'ss' in German. ChaiSpaghetti 13:29, 29 June 2006 (PDT)

Just wanted to drop a note that I probably won't be able to get to this for a few days. And when I start, I'd like to put a good dent into it, not do it over the course of a week. Do you want to try and figure out a time? Who knows, perhaps people will come to watch and make fun of my bishop utilization. muyfabuloso^talk 17:40, 28 June 2006 (PDT)

Sure .. my schedule is pretty wide open for the next week, so anytime that is convenient, just let me know.

• Ha ha, check the suggested move overview boards. Someone changed "Pressure with Knight" or whatever I termed your move to "Hard Charging". Too lazy to go through the history and figure out who. The joke tickles me somewhat, but I doubt anyone would mind if you revert. --Medwards

• LoL .. that is funny .. but at this juncture (I've ran about 6 lines off of our potential Knight move) and with voting closing in an hour and a 1/2 .. I really don't care enough.  :-)

• Yeah, the migraine, I forgot :P. Anyways, since it looked like the aggressive knight move is going to win we might want to continue analyzing lines. I'll throw some morning minutes against it since I don't really plan on working. --Medwards

• I think I'm going to break out Fritz (uber-expensive chess engine) to save me the inevitable headache tomorrow. Although it feels like cheating on our part .. maybe I'll limit it to 5 moves.
• Don't go Fritz. Keep your integrity. And lose your brain-cells. - Danetrix

• Yea, you're right. I'm almost afraid of having to support a non-aggressive move (the fabulosos have been bloodthirsty) and fighting tooth-and-nail against a blunder .. it's going to be a long game .. almost glad it's the weekend.

• i am sending the move, but there may be a few days i might need someone else to - would you be willing to do that? mayorcj^SR

• So long as i get a heads up first .. no problem. How are you determining the taunt that goes along with it? It looks a bit disorganized over there .. :-)
