I guess anything is possible, although Fischer always has been real careful about his privacy and I don't think he would be that overt in letting his real identity be known.

Those Internet Chess Games were always speculation as to whether Fischer played them or not. Something like an urban legend among chess players.

Someone: Who has deleted JinkyOngs original post with his two games? Now there are four further posts who don't make sense anymore. In my eyes either his post has to be restored or all subsequent ones have to de deleted as well.

Someone Else: You have asked why I'm sure that JinkyOng isn't Bobby Fischer, but you also deleted your post. Well, I didn't say that, I was just linking to an article where one of JinkyOngs games has been discussed. But now I'm not sure anymore about his identity because I've received a mail which makes it more probable that he is him:

JinkyOng: I guess you tried to show and prove that your superiority is enough to win even by playing incredibly stupid moves at the opening and losing many tempo's and destroying your King safety at all....
And you succedded in doing that, against all these considered strong players that they have proven to be only some weakies for you, right....?

You win if you capture a _piece_ that causes the explosion of the opponents' King but at the same time doesn't cause the explosion of your King.

I was wondering, in Atomic Chess, is it possible to take the king, or do you need to cause an explosion which kills the king?

Good news for all of you who sent me games for the second edition of the Encyclopedia of Chess Variants : after the sad death of the author David Pritchard, it would have been a real pity that his huge work stayed unfinished, and indeed the task has been taken over by John Beasley.
He is the editor of the Variant Chess magazine and is undoubtly competent enough to continue David's work. The most interesting games might find there place in the magazine as well (on of them, with my annotations, has already been published there).
So, good-quality variant games are still welcome !

Subject: Re: Extinction chess
Pafl: Well your game is fun, doesn't look "pathetic" at all :-). The other one is stranger, with Black responding to a "check" by putting himself in a double check, and then winning the game !
But none of them really features play with KQRBN v KQRBN. As long as there is another piece on the board, this extra piece has unrestricted attacking possibilities and I would not call the position an endgame. However it is of course just a matter of words.

Perhaps he waits for you to gain an established BKR or a high one, as then he would lose less points with the draw....Just guesses....

nabla: I have made it once to the A HREF=" ">http://brainking.com/cz/ArchivedGame?g=750636"> 30th move but only due to a series of blunders as me and my opponent were both rather pathetic players.
The most "endgamish" endgame I have ever seen is probably in this game of my friend Diogenes against Votacommunista. Only I do not quite understand the ending of the game which Diogenes should have won quite obviously.

16. February 2006, 13:40:50
nabla 
Subject: Re: Extinction chess
Pafl: Good question ! Of course a chess-like endgame is impossible in Extinction, but we could choose to call endgames all positions where both camps have only unique pieces except of pawns (that is, KQRBN v KQRBN). I didn't reach any here yet, but it doesn't seem an unlikely issue at all.
Now, many of the positions just after the last piece trade will probably be either simple forced wins, either dead draws with all pieces having to stay on their posts in order to avoid a breakthrough. Has anyone played an interesting "endgame" here ?
