}
{
white bishop: Hi, I don't see you playing in many games in this site. You currently have 9 games from 2 tournaments, i.e. 8 in this class tournament and 1 from a previous Class 2 tournament which you are finishing off. Are you also playing in other sites?
}
{
peeuukoo: Hi, I am playing in Chess.com and in Gameknot. I have a lot a time.  (senior citizen) Thank you for yours interest.

}
2. c4 c6
{
white bishop: My parents are also senior citizens, but I think they are older than you. They are now in their early 80's.
}
{
white bishop: My given or first name "Armi", is of Finnish origin.
}
{
white bishop: I can pretend to be Finnish. "Hei! Kuinka voit?"
}
{
white bishop: Even if you write me in Finnish, I should normally be able to reply back to you in your mother tongue.
}
{
peeuukoo: Armi is a beautiful finnish name.

My name in Pekka. Mistä tämä sinun suomenkielen osaamisesi on peräisin?

}
3. Nc3 Nf6
{
white bishop: Armi Kuusela oli maailman ensimmäinen Miss Universe! 
}
{
white bishop: When I was born, my mother does not yet have a name for me, so her best friend suggested that she name me after Armi Kuusela. If I were a boy, then I would be named after my father.
}
{
white bishop: En ole suomalainen asiantuntija. Google auttoi minua kääntää Englanti tahansa kieli päätin.
}
{
white bishop: Armi Kuusela's first husband is a Filipino businessman. She lived in Philippines after her first marriage. 
}
{
peeuukoo: We finnish know very exactly Armi`s history and we are proud of Armi.
We like also very much Hilario.
}
4. Nf3 dxc4
{
white bishop: I asked Olli what happened to Armi Kuusela because I know she went back to Finland after Hilario passed away. Olli wrote that she had remarried. According to Olli, Armi is presently residing outside Finland. As to which country, the internet doesn't seem to provide that info.
}
{
white bishop: Tänä vuonna olen nähnyt Armi Kuusela YouTube-video. Hän on edelleen kaunis!
}
{
white bishop: If White plays 1. d4, and you play the black pieces, what were your favorite openings or the ones which you have used successfully against 1. d4?
}
{
white bishop: Do you have children & grandchildren? Just curious! :)
}
{
peeuukoo: My favorite on with black if opening is 1.d4 are d5 or Rf6. I open on with white always is 1.d4 
}
{
peeuukoo: I am divorce. I am two children (son and daughter) and  one grandchildren (son). What about you? 
}
5. e3 b5
{
white bishop: If you favor 1. d4 openings, then you like closed games. As black, if you respond to white's 1. d4 with 1... Nf6, those are the Indian openings.
}
{
white bishop: I got married to my husband in June 4, 1995, and still married so far. I have 2 teenage daughters ages 16 and 15. No grandchildren yet. My eldest daughter will be graduating from high school next Tuesday, March 26. By the way, our school calendar begins in June and ends in March.
}
{
white bishop: I will be graduating on March 25 with a Graduate Diploma, a day ahead of my daughter. This coming June, I will continue my studies and aim for a Master of Arts (MA). I need to complete 8 more courses to earn that degree.
}
{
white bishop: Aside from chess, what else is occupying your time? Do you like to read books, watch cable TV, movies or videos, listen to music or create your own songs, or play other board games like scrabble, checkers, etc.?
}
{
peeuukoo: "Valkoinen lähetti" mukava nimi.
I will cross yours fingers in March 25/26. Do you tell me more about yours courses (I am curious?). 
I am philatelist and play bridge and backgammon. I read detective  novel and solve crossword/sudoko.
I listen to music but seldom.
I watch tv daily ( series)
What about you?  
}
6. a4 b4
{
white bishop: Sorry, I didn't quite get the meaning of '"Valkoinen lähetti" mukava nimi.' What does it mean in English?
}
{
white bishop: My undergraduate degree or 1st university degree is actually in Commerce - Bachelor of Science in Commerce, major in Business Administration. My Graduate Diploma is in Christian Education. To earn the Graduate Diploma, I needed to complete 30 units. I have so far finished 36 units, and the extra units are taken in advance for my Master of Arts in Christian Education (MACE) program. This past semester (2nd Semester) which began in November & ended in March, I had enrolled in only 1 course - Uuden Testamentin Eksegetiikan 1 which is a 3 unit course. To earn an MA degree, one needs to complete 60 units with prescribed courses and electives.
}
{
white bishop: Were you able to study in a university and earn a degree?
}
{
white bishop: My brother and I used to collect stamps when we were kids. My mom bought each of us stamp albums to place our stamps in. Nowadays, with the popularity of email, stamps are becoming a rarity, as I seldom see stamps anymore.
}
{
white bishop: The only card game I know how to play is Blackjack or 21. I have not played backgammon yet. As for books, my husband, 2 kids and myself all love to read books. Although most of the books I read are non-fiction, I also like to read fiction books.
}
{
white bishop: About the music I listen to, they are mostly Christian and pop music. The only type of music I hate is rock music. They are more noise than music to my ears!
}
{
white bishop: I'm not much of a TV addict, but our family usually watch a movie every Saturday evening and dine out after watching a movie. That is our family bonding time which the kids enjoyed. I love to cook at home and every time I create a new dish, I ask my kids to grade me and ask them what score they give me, so I can improve in case I didn't do well. So far, I get perfect scores from my kids in the dishes I made, which I find very encouraging because I know they like the dish I prepared.
}
{
white bishop: You mentioned earlier that you are a divorcee. Have you married again after your divorce? Do you now live with your son or alone?
}
{
peeuukoo: Bishop is in finnish 1 piispa 2 lähetti (in chess). There is in the startpoint on white Bc1 and Bf1.
Lähetti is also  a person who has been sent to deliver a particular issue. 
}
{
peeuukoo: I graduated from the Lappeenranta University of Technology School of Engineering. I'm not a master engineer. Operating plant services, development engineer at Stora Enso Oulu mills. (I am now retired)
You will spend a nice family life, and it is the golden time.
I have had eight years a good friend (woman). with whom we spend time together. We do not live together but all the weekends we have together.
The children have already left home but between us are quite good.

}
7. Nb1 Ba6
{
white bishop: You have very good credentials in terms of education and work experience.
}
{
white bishop: It is good you are able to find someone who could fill up the emptiness in your life.
}
{
white bishop: I know what it is like to be a retired senior, from the experiences of my own relatives and of those in our church. Their children normally are busy building up their careers or focusing much of their time and energy into their businesses, so during daytime they are all away from home. The grandchildren normally spend a whole day in school, so the elderly will get to see his/her children and grandchildren in the evenings, and that is only if they all live together. If not, the senior seldom gets to see his/her children and their respective families, only perhaps during special occasions like birthdays or holidays like Christmas and New Year.
}
{
white bishop: Life for retired seniors can become very lonely, sometimes to the point that they think they have been neglected by their children.
}
{
white bishop: Since last year, our church has come up with a program for seniors. Anyone 60 years old and above can join us. We have this event once every 3 months in our church. The seniors learn to sing songs, mostly gospel songs. They get to do some light physical exercises, which someone demonstrates and they follow, while singing the songs. They learn to do some simple crafts, and listen to the experiences of other seniors who have been invited to talk. Best of all, they meet other seniors like them. 
}
{
white bishop: Maybe you can visit your church and see if they have any such programs for seniors which you can join, even such groups that are not designed for seniors, like Bible Study groups and prayer groups, you can try to join. It would be fun to get involved in something for your church! Or you can volunteer to start a chess club in your church.
}
{
white bishop: At every stage of life, from infancy to the elderly, we ALL have our general needs and special needs! 
}
{
peeuukoo:  I have one child a child (my daughter), and he lives with his family 300 miles away from me. They are visiting from time to time. My hobby fully comply with my day / week's / the track.
It seems that the time is always enough. I play chess (chess related) in the personal and tournaments in addition to team games and then come yet these online games.
I will be attending a local chess team, and can also play there. Game nights are always on Monday and Thursday (17.30 to 19.30) pm. There will also be given to young chess education.
Stamp club I go on Tuesdays (18.00 - 21.09) pm.
I play bridge every Wednesday (10.00 to 14.00) am
Seniors' fitness gym on Mondays 10.00-11.00am.
Senior citizens water aerobics on Wednesdays from 7.30 to 8.00 am.
In this one, mainly my program.
I belong to the church and pay the church tax (evankelislutherilainen)
I am in favor of the Church's activity and is a good work for neighbors in need.
I hope you and your family a good future at Easter time

}
8. Ne5 e6
{
white bishop: I'm glad to hear that you have regular activities and a well-balanced life. I wish you health and happiness as the years go by. :)
}
{
white bishop: I did not know you have such a thing as church tax there, because I didn't experience it in our church. 
}
{
peeuukoo: Church in Finland is the Finnish Evangelical Lutheran Church and the Orthodox Church, the members of the tax paid. Down the general provisions on the supply of tax: the tax is eligible for take-off, an adjustment may be required as well as all taxes, the tax shall be considered as compulsory expenditure in calculating the amount of social security benefits, etc.

Other religious communities can not tax, but they may charge a membership fee, like other associations.
Despite its name, the tax is not paid to the church, but the local parish or. Each parish or church to decide on the size.

}
9. Nxc4 Bb7
{
white bishop: I find what you wrote interesting! The religious organizations here are generally not subject to tax, nor do they collect any membership dues or fees from its members.
}
{
white bishop: By the way, I had just attended my graduation ceremonies yesterday. It was a very joyous occasion for me! I had studied for 8 semesters in 5 years on a part-time basis. Anyway, I will be going back to school this coming June to work on my Master of Arts degree. 
}
{
peeuukoo: will try to clarify this matter the Church, that you would be erroneous ideas.
  People's Church

The Church of the people have been invited to the national system of local churches, with a large part of the population. People of the Church may join the church as a child at baptism and church taxes they pay. Introduced the concept of the People's Church of the German theologian Friedrich Schleiermacher in 1809. The concept of the church's determination to emphasize the task of the Church's moral and religious backbone and emphasizes Christian values??-based culture and society. The concept is popular in the German and Scandinavian Protestantism. People's Church aims to "the people of the Christian.


}
{
peeuukoo: I congratulate warmly on the occasion of your graduation.

}
10. Nbd2 c5
{
white bishop: Many thanks for the clarification and your graduation greetings! 
}
{
white bishop: My family & I came back very late on Saturday night after participating in our church's Holy Week Retreat from March 27-30 in Baguio City. 
}
11. dxc5 Bxc5
{
peeuukoo: We're going to soar spring, the snow melts and the weather warms up. We live in the best of times. Schools run out at the end of April, when the summer arrives again Nordic region.
}
12. Be2 O-O
{
white bishop: So, what's the school calendar in Finland? I mean what month does it begin and what month does it end?
}
{
peeuukoo: School begins in September and ends in April. 
}
13. Bf3 Bxf3
{
white bishop: You have only 8 months of studies and 4 months of vacation per year. Here in the Philippines, our school calendar begins in June and ends in March, so students here tend to have a longer study period of 10 months and only 2 months of summer break. My kids are already enjoying their summer vacation. I enrolled my eldest daughter in swimming classes, while my youngest daughter has Taekwondo & Arnis lessons, both of which are martial arts. They're enrolled at YMCA.
}
{
white bishop: Are you active in your Star Trek Team?
Will you be playing in the Standard Chess League - Season 8? 
}
{
white bishop: Are you active in your Star Trek Team?
Will you be playing in the Standard Chess League - Season 8? 
}
{
peeuukoo: I have confirmed my playing in Star Trek season 8. I will play then Pompey ask players. It is not easy to assemble players together.
}
14. Qxf3 Na6
{
white bishop: Pompey is also the team captain in our The Chess Warriors team. I will be playing in the Standard Chess League - Season 8. He has assigned me to play in Division 4A. How about you, do you know which division you will be playing in?
}
{
peeuukoo: Star Trek playing in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 5.division. I do not even know where I was placed. Pompey is still building a team of players. We do not have a team 4.Division. 


 
}
15. O-O Be7
{
white bishop: You play chess very well! Aside from playing games online, do you read chess books, undergo tactical training, or have any form of training program in chess? If you had not confirmed to Pompey that you will play for your Star Trek team, I would have invited you to join The Chess Warriors team and play for us.  
}
{
peeuukoo: I do not use a chess database, but I've studied a lot of chess openings.
I play 1.d4 always in white. I've been playing a lot of national competitions in real-time. (not the computer). Unfortunately, I have already confirmed my participation in Star Trek. Thank you very much for your suggestion, it boosted my mind.
}
16. b3 Nc5
{
white bishop: Have you won in the national competitions? Do you have a FIDE rating?
}
{
peeuukoo:  I've been playing chess since 1971 and only in Finland. Tournaments are mainly in Northern Finland, and there have been a lot. I have over 1200 games. There is also a tournament winnings, but now they are just dreams.
Fide-rating is bad because I do not use a chess database. I have noticed that some of the opponent plays the assistance of the machine. (Fide-games).
My life holds a lot of chess and advice stories that are nice to look back.
What about you - what's your Chesshistory?

}
17. Ne5 Rc8
{
white bishop: I am the first person who learned to play chess on my side of the family. I discovered that there is such a game called chess when I read its entry in the set of encyclopedias bought by my dad.
}
{
white bishop: The game looked interesting after looking at the diagrams on how each piece is played, so I showed the encyclopedia entry to my younger brother, and he was also fascinated. We were little kids yet at that time who were both in primary school. 
}
{
white bishop: We kept nagging our mom when we saw a chess set inside a small bookstore where she brought us to. That became our first chess set.
}
{
white bishop: Have so far joined my first chess tournament in our school when I was in high school. I also joined a simultaneous exhibition held in our community's club house as a teenager when an IM from Argentina came to do a simultaneous exhibition. His name is Miguel Quinteros and he was still an International Master yet at that time. He is now a grandmaster, and I think, he is in your age group. 
}
{
white bishop: When I had my first job in a bank, it organized a chess tournament for its employees. I had joined 2 years in a row, and got a trophy from one of these tournaments organized by the bank.
}
{
white bishop: Then I stopped playing chess for a long time, as I was busy with my career & other interests. It was only last August that I registered in both our bowling and chess events for our church's Sports Fest, to commemorate its 50th anniversary this year, that I began playing chess again, & joined SchemingMind to have some practice with players from all over the world.
}
{
white bishop: Our chess event was scheduled last February. I played over-the-board chess, in real time, and face-to-face with my opponents. It was played on a Sunday afternoon with 5 games and with chess clocks. Of my 5 games, I had 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, but didn't win anything. Later, during the day of the awarding ceremonies, I learned that the guy whom our tournament director had previously announced as the 3rd placer also had the same score as me, and also the same statistics as 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, after talking to him before the ceremonies began.  
}
{
white bishop: That was my chess experience, which is not as colorful as yours! 
}
{
peeuukoo: 

Thank you for your interesting chess history You've played well in SchemingMind.
I'm a little busy these games with because there are many. Focus on one game is bad and should be made ??some bad moves.
I missed telling the history related to the previous game that I play chess also in other programs 
These are: Chess.com,Gameknot and Chessworld.net
Then there is Backgammon tournaments online and the Wordspuzzles.
I can not write/speak english well as you have noticed.
}
18. Nc6 Qc7
{
white bishop: It's alright, I can understand you most of the time, even if you felt your English is inadequate!
}
19. Nd4 e5
{
white bishop: Voit kirjoittaa minulle suomeksi, jos haluat, mutta älä käytä vaikeita sanoja.
}
{
peeuukoo: Sain aikoinaan valita koulussa vieraaksi kieleksi saksan ja englannin väliltä ja otin saksan. Luin sitten viisi (5) vuotta saksaa. Jos näitä kieliä ei tarvitse ne unohtuvat niin kävi saksallekin. Olen ollut töissä tietokoneella ja tästä johtuen osaan tietokoneen englannin varsin hyvin mutta sillä ei pärjää sosiaalisessa kanssakäymisessä. Saa nähdä miten saat tämän järkevästi käännettyä Googlella. Ilmoita mikä jää epäselväksi. 
}
20. Nf5 Rfd8
{
white bishop: Koska olet opiskellut saksan kielen 5 vuotta, oletan, että kielitaidon saksaksi on parempi kuin Englanti.
}
{
white bishop: Mikä on tietokoneohjelma olet työskennellyt? Sillä mitä se käyttää?
}
{
peeuukoo: Meillä Suomessa on kouluaineena vieras kieli silloin kun minä opiskelin sain valita englannin ja saksan väliltä. Keskiasteen koulutus kesti kohdallani 5 vuotta.
Päätin olla lukematta ylioppilaaksi, ja siirryin teknilliseen opistoon, jossa valmistuin (4vuotta) insinööriksi.
Olin 30-vuotta Stora Ensossa Oulun tehtailla. Hallitsin vain Stora Enson kunnossapidossa käytettävät sisäiset ohjelmat ja sen tietokannan käytön. Kaikki tietokannan atk-termistö on englanninkielistä. 

}
21. Nxe7+ Qxe7 22. Qe2
{
white bishop: Mielenkiintoinen tarina elämääsi ja työtä!
}
{
white bishop: Sinun vaikutti iloiselta työnantajan kanssa, joten jäi 30 vuotta heidän kanssaan.
}
{
white bishop: Onko sinulla pahoittelee elämästäsi, menneistä, miltä näytät, teidän avioliitto, perheestäsi, jne.?
}
22... Nd5
{
peeuukoo: Tästä tulee pitkä mielenkiintoinen tarina elämästä kun myös kerrot omastasi.
Kerronta olisi hyvä jaksottaa pieniin pätkiin ja käyttää email-osoitetta henkilökohtaisuuden vuoksi.
Tämä vain jos sinulle sopii. 
(Voin kyllä kirjoittaa tähänkin näyttöön.)
Yritän samalla kirjoittaa saman englanniksi sekä korjata googlen käännösvirheet.
Mitä mieltä olet asiasta?
}
23. Qg4 Qb7
{
white bishop: Hi, I did not quite get the meaning of your first 2 sentences. As Google Translate could not give me a clearer and understandable message, please find my understanding of your message in my subsequent message. Just correct me if I get the wrong message, okay?
}
{
white bishop: Referring to your first 2 sentences, you are informing me that you have a very long and interesting story to share. You prefer to correspond through email for anything personal. If my understanding of your message correct?
}
{
peeuukoo: I changed Vista to Windows 8 This is now learned how all the time. This seems quite good.
Google translate is sometimes what happens, but even if an attempt to read "between the lines"
I got married in 1966.
I graduated as an engineer in 1969 in Lappeenranta.
Girl (Hannakaisa) was born in 1971
Son (Juha-Pekka) was born in 1977
Divorce in 1990
Good relations with all the time with children and former wife.
Alcohol involved in life by the year 2007 until the present my friend (Kaija) showed up in my life. She said then he or alcohol - I took her.
We live in different locations, and we have the rest of the week so we can get together in your own time.
This is a summary of my life running.
}
24. e4 Nc3
{
white bishop: Interesting summary of life story! You married first before you finished your studies. Miksi on tarve avioero? Onko vaihtoehtoja syrjään avioero?
}
{
white bishop: Mikä sai sinut aloittamaan juomisen alkoholia? Onko ongelmia haluat unohtaa?
}
{
white bishop: I have never met my "appi" because hän kuoli kuukautta ennen kuin tapasin mieheni. Mukaan mieheni, minun appi oli alkoholisti, oli ollut kuntoutuksessa monta kertaa, ja kuoli maksakirroosiin.
}
{
white bishop: Kirjoitit aiemmin, että olet kristitty. Tuolloin sinun olisi pitänyt rukoillut ja pyytää apua Jumalalta.
}
{
peeuukoo: You got it wrong maybe I was not an alcoholic. My liver has always been in good shape. A man who is unable to stop without help from others is sick.
}
{
peeuukoo: The game is your advantage. I am in a jam.
}
25. Nc4 Nxb3
{
white bishop: Between our 23rd and 24th moves, you wrote that "alcohol involved in life by the year 2007", so I presumed that you were an alcoholic at that time, until you stopped because of Kaija, just in time before alcohol can begin its damage on your liver. You are lucky to have Kaija! 
}
{
white bishop: Is Kaija a social worker? Though I have not met or seen her, I think she must be somebody very much younger than you and your former wife. I guess that maybe Kaija's age ranges between 40-50.
}
{
white bishop: I think the position is presently to my advantage, unless I make a serious blunder or mistake in my moves.
}
{
peeuukoo: My health was good retire after 1.2.2007. (the doctor's opinion, Stora Enso). I noticed you thought that a younger woman took me. We are Kaija, with the same age. I was single in 16 years when we met. Kaija is not a social worker.
}
26. Bh6 f6
{
white bishop: I hope your health will continue to remain good in the future! I advise you to have regular check-ups every year, so if there is a new health problem that was discovered, it can be treated at an early stage.
}
{
white bishop: If you and Kaija are of the same age, why did you not marry her after your divorce? You will be together everyday, not every week. She is so much a positive influence in your life! Without her intervention, you might still be drinking alcohol today.
}
{
white bishop: Do you have brothers and sisters and do you see them often? I only have a brother. He and his family migrated to Canada 8 years ago. 3 years ago, they all became Canadian citizens. My brother usually comes to visit my parents every year. Last March, he was here for almost 3 weeks.
}
{
white bishop: I renewed my gym membership for 1 more year, as I have no more physical exercise. The last time I was in a gym was 1-1/2 years ago. Annual membership in this particular gym will cost 500 pesos (P500.00 = 55.38 FIM or 9.31 Euros), which is good for one year until April next year. In addition to the annual membership fee, I still need to pay each month if I want to use the gym's facilities. This April, since there was a promotion, it costs me P999.00 (18.59 EUR) for the monthly fee.
}
{
peeuukoo: We both have our own homes. This gives the condition to breathe. On weekends, we spend time together. This is suitable for both of us. Kaija have their own friends. My hobbies are my friends (chess club, stamp club, a cultural club, and book club). I have a sister in Helsinki (700 mile from Oulu). We'll see about once a year. I bike a lot (I have not a car), but we will go dancing four times a month. I am a good shape. In winter, go skiing and in the summer we picked a lot of berries and walk the forest paths

27. Qe6+ Qf7

peeuukoo: This game is ready. Thanks for the game
}
{
white bishop: Many thanks also for the game and for sharing about your life. I wish that when I grow old, I can still be in good health like you! :)
