Come on give me a real definition
I'm a Robert. While I'll happily attack the kingside if the opportunity presents itself, I usually only do so after castling.
My first impression was that this list might be a description of the lobotomized computer "players" in the Chessmaster series, so I first checked to see if Muldoon was listed. I checked my name only after seeing that he wasn't there.
I see Magnus in the list, but are most of these names actual Chess.com players?
I'm no hustler, I just blunder lots of games, but manage to play better when I concentrate on not making them.
Thanks for the vote of confidence about my endings, but a French Defense buff?! lol
oh andy...you came and you gave without taking..but i sent you away ohh...andy...(from a barry manilow song)
