 		Only things I know about chess are :

1. The Russians love it.
2. I kick my brother's ass at it.
3. Chess is usually timed for each player.
4. The board is labeled with letters and numbers.

Aside from that, iunno.

As for the ID thing - she's clearly trying to get attention with that.
Maybe her friend ID? Her facebook id = 100000521718786. (not going to be anything hidden in that, facebook generates a number for each profile.)

Edit ::
Well, her ID isn't her tribalpages password.

I used to watch my best friend's little brother kick everyone's ass in chess. He was 5. I also tried the FB ID as a password and it didn't work.

Also,
Quote:
been walking the 'black dog'
(from a wall convo with Claire)..is "black dog" a euphemism for something that I don't know about? I know it's a song by Led Zeppelin, but could it mean something else? I tried "robertplant" "jimmypage" "ledzeppelin" and "blackdog" and all of those words individually, with no success.

Between this and Hatshoe, I'm tired of trying to figure out IDs and passwords Wink

 		'Walking the black dog', I've heard used as a phrase about depression, but, I'm not quite sure.

Black dogs are said to be a bad omen, aren't they?

Isn't there also a ghost in British folk lore called the Black Dog? (think I saw something about it on History once, I'll wiki it in a sec.)

A Grim? And yes, I only know -that- because of Harry Potter. I'm really showing my true nerdiness today on these forums.

Claire mentions that her password for the ancestry site that she set it up so Vanessa could use the "same password for everything". So it's a password that Vanessa already knows; not something new that she'd have to remember.

Oh man, that Harry Potter comment gave me a flash back to early middle school.

Any way, I meant this :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_dog_%28ghost%29 <- ghost

http://dictionary.infoplease.com/black-dog <- Phrase.

http://nli.northampton.ac.uk/ass/psych-staff/sjs/blackdog.htm <- more on black dogs as omens and such

Ah then I guess Vanessa was "walking her blues away".

Also, stop making me feel old. I read HP in college Embarassed

Vladimir: Go to your dreams then. I do not sleep any longer. I do not dream. And as for chess? There are problems before the bard is set up, sung in others' claims for.46, regardless of hours or minutes. Go to your studies anonymous one, as the time of the sun becomes that of the moon.


"Astronomia : 111 ." in Vladimir's FB profile probably refers to Kepler's Astronomia Nova.

Well, I started HP in the 5th grade, how's that make ya feel? Razz
(I'm 20, so you're not old, I'm just young.)

Any way - I think it is. A lot of people mention 'walking it off' or going on walks to clear their minds. I find it funny when she mentions lolcats in latin on her blog. The phrase she put means (loosely, I think.) 'Beware of dog'.

Quote:
LOL just thought of doing lolcatz in latin! caveat canum!


Probably the hours in front of the PC, and the other games burning my mind out, and I'm looking too far in to it.

Still, I think the black dog thing just is about walking to clear her head.

Shakespeare was referred to as "Bard of Avon". I was thinking maybe the numbers correspond the act.scene in Timon of Athens, but there are no line numbers to go by. This play is probably the ONLY Shakepeare play I don't have a hard copy of, but you can Google it and find a digital copy of the book.

I hope he doesn't expect me to play chess. It would not end well at all.

 		Got a message from Claire. You'll facepalm when you read this:

Quote:
hi - quick break at lunch so not got much time. if you type in "vanessaatalanta" into the ID box on the main page of tribalpages, you'll get her tree. she says people have been asking about her password. no need. apart from her own private info, all the family tree is public [she asked me to make it like that, including her own info]. got to go, boss coming round!


Vlad also updated his FB:

Quote:
RQ to library. As she has not replied electronically, perhaps it is time to meet her publicly...


Vanessa mentioned going to the library today to scan some of those papers. Guess Vanessa is the "Red Queen" (RQ)?

Edit: Annabel Cardui died December 11, 1999 -- 10 years ago. Note says "miss you mum". Also looks like her dad passed away the same year she was born.

Tweet says she thinks she was being followed. Safe to assume she -is- the RQ, and that Vlad is stalking her, for what ever reason. She brings up '10 years ago' often - it seems like that's got to be it. I think if we find out how her mother died, it would provide hints to why her uncle wants her to know all of this information. She doesn't seem the type to grasp all this sort of stuff easily - as proof with not being so great with computers - so he wants her new trusted friends to help her decode it. I assume he doesn't have much time left or he would help.
Vlad must be either part of the problem that caused her mother's death, or wants something from the family?

Just my take on it.

Edit ::
Sorry if this has been stated, but, Vlad's facebook icon... the white spaces between the wings look like a King piece for chess, sorta.. Unless I'm going crazy.
http://profile.ak.fbcdn.net/v22942/1060/18/q100000543682391_1853.jpg

My original thought was a bishop 0 but, you can see where it comes from the 'collar' area, and up to a flat. If you look at a King in chess - you can see how it does that.

http://www.soyouwanna.com/site/syws/chess/img/Chess%20Pieces%20Values.jpg

Adding a thought to the previous theory - if he sees himself as the king - he may see her as his queen. Or - the king in chess may be the ultimate capture, but the queen has free reign of the board, he may wish to use her due to this. If she's going to be the last of the family, and he can manipulate her - he can control the family's wealth and such... hm.[/url]
