A chess player who sucks all the fun from the game.

Beware of them.

I will be on my guard. And I will be sure to hire 10 troops, and set up machine gun posts up on the roof of my house and on the drive way.

So don't play chess players? That is going to be difficult if I want a game of chess.


Beware of the chess curmudgeon not all chess players.

So I take it that that "would" is actually supposed to be a "who"...

People think I am this. But it's never been so artfully described as with the word 'curmudgeon'.

Bravo!

rich: do you think it would be a good idea to delete post #11 ? (and 14, while you're at it).

What's the purpose of including the profile of HeavyArtillery and that individual's note about Kepler? Also, why does HeavyArtillery's profile include a word that doesn't belong on a website frequented by some very young people? I'm not so old that I don't know what kids in 2009 know but I'd guess some parents wouldn't be impressed.

 artfizz should I tell you what I think. I think HeavyArtillery should perhaps delete the words off his profile, huh.

Maybe the worst on chess.com, but not really a dumb question, rather an introspective question.

Introspection refers to the self-observation or complentation of oneself, reporting of conscious inner thoughts, desires, ego, stimuli and sensations. It is a conscious mental and usually purposive process relying on thinking, reasoning, and a soul searching process.

You just might have given a hint on your subconscience thinking and process.

Your question and answer reveal a  delicate, sensitive personality, wanting to please everyone and trying to find forever the right words to be righteous.

Nothing wrong to have an open mind and heart. Do it more often.
