| Posted by maykx beck-web.com 11/04/2003 17:48:21 play online chess |  Subject: SAN MIGUEL KNIGHTS (page3)Message: UNFAIR MATCH-UP Message: There is an unfair match up between hssegundo (1820) vs ken1 (2050) But before this came through, the following messages had been sent and received: "Hello, maykx! if you are looking for some team matches, i would please like to have a list with your available players. i'm sure that we could work out some team match up's best regards" - kai (captain of the Lord of the Teams) "Hello, kai_sim! Thanks for dropping by a line. Only 2 in our team, including me, are available for game. Our ratings are 1699 and 1788. If you can find a match-up, we'll be happy to have games with you. Regards and Thanks" - Mike "Hello, kai_sim! I would like to change my previous challenge offer. There are now 3 available from us. Their ratings are: 1820, 1788, and 1704. I hope you can find suitable and fair match-up. Thanks again." - Mike "Hello, maykx! send them over my friend, i'll match within 50 Elo points, if i can't i'll contact you tonight, i'm at work right now" - Kai "YOU MATCHED UP UNFAIRLY! hssegundo (1820) vs ken1 (2050) This is what you said... "send them over my friend, i'll match within 50 Elo points, if i can't i'll contact you tonight, i'm at work right now" Was it within 50 ELO points???? Or are you having a math problem, huh??? I thought you're a man of your word.....you should've contacted me before making such unfair match." - Mike Hello, maykx! i'm very sorry... i must have checked the wrong box i wanted to send tgtp (1820). i don't know how it could happen. as you can see, the other two are matched up fairly as usual please forgive me, this was the first time that that happend to me" - kai Well....so that was the story team mates. Grabe ang init ng ulo ko ng makita ko to. Actually hndi ito first time. If my memory still serves me right, yung kay Mario o Rommel din may unfair matching. Pero di ako nagreklamo kasi not over 200 points naman. But this one is different. I am sending Andrew a message about this. Hindi ko alam kung may magagawa pa tayo. ------- Well, Kaisim said he was sorry about what had happened. He himsel didn't know how did it happen. He was supposed to match an equal player he said. I guess, we really can't do anything about this and I must stop whining. I received a message from Andrew and mukhang ok lang naman. He actually made the first move and waiting for another team games. |
| Posted by kai_sim beck-web.com 11/04/2003 17:58:42 play online chess | my apologie Message: i actually had a player ready with the exact same rating. i must have been mixed up, confused or just hit the wrong checkbox. it's the first time that this happend to me and i feel very bad about it. if i could i would cancel the match, but it's not possible :( in the forums we (the captains) have a threat to mike going, that we demand a verification system in the team match up's the way how it works right now, is 1. captain A sends over his team mates 2. captain B matches and the games start what we demand is: 1. captain A sends over his team mates 2. captain B matches 3. match up's go back to captain A and he needs to review 4. captain A agrees and the matches start we think that it's not hard to implement and look forward to have this implemented soon. after all, we all are humans and that makes us unique, together with our mistakes and errors. once more again, i am very sorry about it and it shouldn't have happen after all the matches i paired in the past. please accept my apologie best regards kai_sim ~~L°ЯĐs Ǿf Tнę teŞm§~~ |
| Posted by kai_sim beck-web.com 11/04/2003 18:05:20 play online chess | just noticed Message: the match shouldn't be too unfair andrew hasn't lost a game yet, just came out of his provi status and is still building up his rating. andrew, i know you can do it! good luck kai |
| Posted by maykx beck-web.com 11/04/2003 18:13:21 play online chess | Apology accepted Message: Actually I also apologized for few harsh words I said to Kai, teammates. He's a nice guy (been reading some of his posts in other forum) and I guess he's telling us the truth. Ok...so much for this, tuloy ang laban. |

| Posted by maykx beck-web.com 11/05/2003 00:07:53 play online chess | Rommel.... Message: Congraaaats!! Keep it up up up!! |
| Posted by maykx beck-web.com 11/05/2003 00:13:26 play online chess | Andrew vs ken1 Message: Our bro.Andrew displays confidence in his current games. We know very well that he is up against 2000++ opponent but he said he will give his best in this game. He even said to make his 'Max' to 50! =) Unfortunately hanggang 20 lang ata ang puwede. Hey, Andrew....gaya ng sabi ng katoto nating si Carlo...konting yelo lang ang katapat niyan! "Itaas mo!" |
| Posted by maykx beck-web.com 11/05/2003 00:17:12 play online chess | Angelina.... Message: Thank you for your very kind words. Ang hindi mo siguro napapansin kung bakit naiiba ang team na 'to ay dahil sa nandyan ka.....walang halong biro.....sa totoo lang =) |
| Posted by maykx beck-web.com 11/05/2003 00:28:23 play online chess | Team Rating Message: I learned one thing. -Do not play against team that has very low rating. Manalo man tayo halos walang + sa rating pero kapag natalo o draw, grabe ang bawas sa atin. Eh parehas lang naman ang matching ke high rated o low rated team. So...I know now. Hmm...very interesting. So to add our team statistic after a 1 month of existence.... Our team is in the Top 10 list (#5) of GK when it comes to Team Standing. |
| Posted by ironangel0214 beck-web.com 11/05/2003 03:25:39 play online chess | Hanggang 4 muna Message: Hi Capt. Mike & to all our KAPATID! uubusin ko lang muna mga individual games ko kc medyo madami eh ;-) tapos puro team games na lalaruin ko, praktis muna ako. Nde ko alam kung ilan ang allowed na games para sa akin, 23 games pa lang yata completed ko eh. Alam ko kasi, +1 for every 4 games played tama ba? Magkakatagalan pa sa ibang laban ko, matagal mag-move si kody ng USSR! Grabe sa tagal mag-isip, kinu-consult muna ata bawat move nya... hehehe! di kaya ako lugi nyan? |
| Posted by angelina_joelle beck-web.com 11/05/2003 07:04:47 play online chess | tokirapa Message: Im convincing my brother(tokirapa) to join our team. lately I heard him saying na boring na daw sa current team nya. But my younger sis (solidplay) medyo pinagbabawalan muna namin ni kuya even we are so impressed sa performance nya dito na GK. Baka makasira sa studies. |
| Posted by maykx beck-web.com 11/05/2003 22:58:22 play online chess | .... Message: Mario.... cge, pagkaubos mo ng mga non-team games mo...sabihin mo lang..bibigyan pa kita ng team games. goodluck!! Angelina... tokirapa?? Naaalala ko I was suppose to invite him sa team natin but yun nga, member siya ng ibang team. And then, tinanong ko pa nga sya kung kaano-ano ka nya kasi nga iisa lang ISP nyo. Di nya ako sinagot...hehehe. Well we'll be happy to have him too dahil mukhang kasing galing mo siya (o mas magaling pa sya sa yo? =)) Si bunso ok lang din na pasalinin mo sa atin if she wants to. Bigyan ko lang sya ng 2games at a time. You know...exposure di ba. Cge mga ka-nighty knights.....ginagawa ko homepage natin. Baka maipakita ko sa inyo ang layout next week or earlier. By the way, sino gustong gumawa ng Chess in the Philippines (a general view of Chess in Philippines)? Carlo baka gusto mong akuin ang work =) Puwede rin naman nating pagtulong-tulongan. At saka di rin naman rush to. During your spare time lang. Other contributions from other members are welcome. |
| Posted by hijodelmatador beck-web.com 11/05/2003 23:27:03 play online chess | research tayo lahat...... Message: capt. mike, regarding the general view of Philippine chess. thereafter, we'll collate all the information to come up with a perfect write-ups. further, i would to suggest for inclusion in our homepage, i.e., the profiles and pictures of our grandmasters. in this way, we can pay tribute to their contributions for the popularity of the games here. thanks and best regards........ hijodelmatador (carlo) p.s. with due respect to angelina_joelle, if i'm not mistaken, capt. mike, it was questioned before in GK forum the issue of various players playing in the same ISP who belonged to the same team. i honestly suggest, capt. mike, that before accepting the membership of angelina_joelle 's siblings, you have to clear this matter out first. JUST A THOUGHT. |
| Posted by torre_tinorete beck-web.com 11/06/2003 14:04:00 play online chess | Contributions... Message: Carlo (again!) gave good suggestions on the home-page. A contribution from each of us regarding the general view about Philippine chess is a great idea! I'll try to contribute on this one, especially regarding our first GM. Congrats nga pala kay Rommel for his first win. Mukhang wala pa talagang bumibigay sa atin ah! Keep it up guys! |
| Posted by maykx beck-web.com 11/06/2003 15:41:12 play online chess | Great Idea! Message: Can't wait to see the pix of GM Torre, Antonio, etc in our homepage! Regarding two or more players with the same ISP playing in the same team, yes... I remember that was once an issue here at GK. But I don't know what was the verdict. Maybe we could ask the webmaster first concerning this issue if Angelina's brother or sister intends to join us. |
| Posted by maykx beck-web.com 11/06/2003 19:28:57 play online chess | Homepage Layout is ready! Message: It's temporary base is located at www24.brinkster.com/smknights Please, please, please.... Comment, suggest, criticize, correct, or whatever...... the 1st exposure (only for members of course) of our homepage. It's still rubbish and badly needs intelligent ideas so I expect everybody to make his/her inputs. |

| Posted by maykx beck-web.com 11/06/2003 20:52:31 play online chess | Pictures of team members Message: Actually kasama sa mga do-lists ang pag-post ng picture. Siguro dun na lang namin ipe-paste yung pix ng miyembro ng teammates sa SMK team member profile sa webpage. tokirapa, honestly wala talaga akong natanggap na private message from you. Akala ko nga isnab ka e. At nasabi mo na aalis na pala si Angelina for US??? Magkaganon man, I hope di nya iiwan ang SMK team. Chess plaza...malamang mapadaan ako this coming Nov.16 sa QC circle. My sport festival kasi kaming mga Okinawan descendants doon. |
| Posted by torre_tinorete beck-web.com 11/06/2003 21:16:16 play online chess | Homepage... Message: The homepage layout is great Mike! Nice color too! It is said that green is supposed to be the color chosen by intelligent people. Well, seems you have chosen wisely Mike ;-) As to tokirapa's query on why we didn't show up when Angelina told us about the chess plaza and tourney, I think most of us here in SMK is a little bit busy at that time. Maybe Capt. Mike can do something about it, like appointing a date so that we can meet all members of the SMK personally. Its just a suggestion though, but I think it can come into fruitition in the near future. As to the other suggestions of tokirapa, I think Capt. Mike can properly address those ideas. |
| Posted by hijodelmatador beck-web.com 11/06/2003 23:26:23 play online chess | SMK homepage is tentatively.... Message: alright. pleasing to the eyes. the visitor can easily be attracted to explore its contents. initial suggestion is the armoured knight riding a horse... can we replace it with ARKANGHEL subduing the demon... the same as that we can see on SMC products.(is it in ginebra bottle?). i don't know if it is protected by a trademark. perhaps our future legal counsel torre_tinorete could verify this. capt. mike, the reason why i registered in GK is to make this site a training ground to explore untested ideas which i haven't tried in tournament practice. for the information of everybody, i'm an active tournament player locally. please understand me in not divulging my true identity here because of simple reason that local players would freely see and study my preparations. other GK players have the same reason as mine. mabuhay ka capt mike and regards to everybody...... hijodelmatador (carlo) |
| Posted by hijodelmatador beck-web.com 11/06/2003 23:43:46 play online chess | as to the enlightening comment.... Message: of tokirapa , it is accepted warmly and wholeheartedly. however the way i see it, there is no slightest intrigue in the team. what we are speaking here is the truth of matter. as in other GK teams, the captain has the right to choose and screen prospective team members. it isn't at all easy to do the captain's responsibilities. it is universal issue here in GK those ISPs containing several accounts. if you could see my profile, we are 6 in one ISP. i know only matadordelrey, but i don't the other 4 accounts. that's my fault 'coz i normally make moves at i-net cafes at malls. in internet world in its totality, it is very dangerous to reveal your true identity. you know what i mean. anyway, capt. mike will verify with the webmaster whether it is allowable to accept 2 or more members belonging to the same ISP. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT. that's why before i commented on that, i said "with due apology to angelina_joelle ". If it will be cleared, you will be most welcome tokirapa. I understand you, a chessplayer's attitude IS ALWAYS LIKE THAT. i'm too exposed to that. let's drink to that !! |
| Posted by hijodelmatador beck-web.com 11/07/2003 00:05:10 play online chess | capt. mike...... Message: you may now paste our HOMEPAGE in our team profile. what about putting a "counter" in the homepage, so that we could measure how popular our homepage will be in terms of number of visitors. regards. |
| Posted by hijodelmatador beck-web.com 11/07/2003 01:11:03 play online chess | if it is necessary........... Message: to accomodate challenges from other friendly teams, i could accept four (4) more team games. capt mike, my max is still 6 games, and these additional 4 games are to be treated in case YOU CAN'T JUST SAY NO TO FRIENDLY ADVERSARIES. thanks capt. and regards. |
| Posted by maykx beck-web.com 11/08/2003 10:51:18 play online chess | Carlo.... Message: Homepage.... Getting the "archangel subduing demon" image is quite difficult but will be very interesting and eye-catcher if we could put it in our homepage. I'll try to look for it. Page counter for our homepage is on its way. Revealing true identity.... This is quite a dillema. In as much we realy would like to make our team as real as possible by putting our respective photos or at least revealing some of our true information in our homepage, it still holds true that it is "quite" dangerous. We'll study more of this later. I'm receiving quite a lot of challenge proposal in my message box so for your 'max', I'll take note of that. |
| Posted by ironangel0214 beck-web.com 11/09/2003 07:15:46 play online chess | SUPERB! Message: Neatly done! I visited the SMK Homepage, and I tell you... I AM VERY MUCH IMPRESSED! Galing mo naman Capt. Mike! The color, the design, the concept & everything! wow grabe! Hail to you Capt. Mike! MABUHAY! MABUHAY ANG SAN MIGUEL KNIGHTS! = ) |
| Posted by maykx beck-web.com 11/09/2003 16:50:56 play online chess | Thank you. Message: But I must not get all the credit. You are all part of it. The spirit that driving our homepage is our Team Spirit. No one must get ahead, no one should be left behind. I pray everybody is still present by the time SMK "ultimate goal" is reached. By the way....I got a win against andersdanielsson (hurray!) but my other games against binstandard and macounet look unpromising =( . But I'll try my best to force a draw....should I lose, teammates....GO FOR A WIN! GO SMK GO!!! |
| Posted by torre_tinorete beck-web.com 11/09/2003 18:31:41 play online chess | St. Michael's image... Message: The "San Miguel subduing the demon" image is a trademark of Ginebra San Miguel Corporation. I have not taken up Intellectual Property Law (hopefully I will take it up this coming sem) so I don't have a definite idea of the consequences of using it in our webpage. However, from what I have gathered, an unauthorized use of a trademark constitutes infringement, even though if there is no fraudulent intent. Hence, I don't think that we can use the Ginebra San Miguel trademark in our website. We can, however, make use of another image of St. Michael for as long as its not squarely the same as that of Ginebra San Miguel. Hey Capt. Mike, congrats nga pala sa 2nd team win mo! Nice endgame win! You have again streached our win streak! Keep up the good work team! |
| Posted by maykx beck-web.com 11/10/2003 04:37:52 play online chess | PLS. VISIT THE HOMEPAGE AGAIN. Message: I've put 10 images of Archangel Michael and I would like you to vote which one are we going to use. The only problem in the images I gathered is that it is perimetered unlike the two knights at top of our homepage. Check also the SMK History. Thanks again everybody and I wish you goodluck in all your games. |
| Posted by maykx beck-web.com 11/10/2003 19:32:26 play online chess | Koy, forgot to tell you.... Message: na-receive ko na pala yung email mo regarding the two GMs of the Philippines (GM Eugene Torre and GM Balinas Dies. A great contribution! Will put it in our homepage soon! Thank you. |

Message: im still here......-- watching you guys, mike, i visited our homepage good work there huh!! i did not vote coz i think current logo is good enought for me. it is simple but perfectly symbolize the name of our team rather than the archangels. maybe it is not eye catching but the idea is there ..... a "KNIGHT" like the picture itself. my apology to the author of "archangel" idea, its just my opinion. good chess |
| Posted by maykx beck-web.com 11/11/2003 00:18:08 play online chess | Welcome our new teammate.... Message: Jennifer! (a.k.a. zugzwangert) She's quite a fast player....and is about to beat me in our unrated game! Cheers for our 2nd lady Knight! |
