My typical opening; was this helpful?

so what if your opponet starts trading pieces you can't just say that they are cowardly you can't make thier moves for them they get to choose what move they make and they might not want to trade for the sake of trading or they do it because they prefer games where there are less pieces where precision is everything sometimes they are ahead in material so they trade down so they can have an easier game with minimal counterplay sometimes they might have positional advantage so they trade down so it is more apparent so stop complaning about people making moves

Really, people. Aren't you really just pounding your head against a wall?
nothing on tv and I'm past my limit on wine to play chess. Facebook updated, so.. no this is pretty much it. I mean seriously I've read alot of forum posts and almost any serious person at least shows one game to back up his claim. Myself like alot of others were curious about these mindless renegade queens. I've seen quite a few Gm games, especially queen side where Queens are exchange for what I can only assume is to remove the unforseen's at even that level of play. Curious though, it happens more frequently at the 2200-2400 uscf level. And the OP made the claim of it happening with frequency. Was it possible the best choice given the OP'osters play? Most people are very helpfull here and yes occasionally threads decay into madness, thank god for sanities sake. Oh yea I forgot of all 5000 people online we all just shoot from the hip and make mindless moves, exchange to kill. I'm own 4 54 inch flat screen tv's and I have playing Platoon, Hamburger Hill, Full Metal Jacket and Avater.
That is a really long sentence.
Faulkneresque!
It is stream of consciousness.

Instead of sharing your opinion you continue question mine. Jerks
And what questions do you ask. You ask for more games more posts of examples. Saying over and over again ive not given at least one. heh.
Well frankly im tierd of answering the same questions over and over.
Games where posted links were given explanations were said. The last one i did was an edit of a vid into the opening post.
Most the poeple in this thread are just a bunch of losers nothing better to do than try waste my time.
Someones offering free attention lets ask him the same questions over and over again 5 days in a row. Lets stay up till 3 am saturday night and luagh at how he hasnt answered our question again. Frankly im tierd of people lowering my opinion of them.
Im done with this.
This topic is the one time ive used this forum. And to be honnest i dont expect to use it again. Ill leave the majority of you to your bordom.
I asked some questions i got some answers.
Ive said nothing is right yet im being told im wrong. Ive given several examples from text to game diagrams to videos, and im being told ive given none.

Losers. Links were given games were posted explainations were said. Even a vid in the openign post... your miserable so you try to insult my opinion in some ridiculous attempt to make me as miserable as you are. And this is how you try to justify it By implying.
Hes posted no links to games or made any attempt to explain himself he isnt serious unlike other people, people like you i guess... Heh lies.
This topic is the one time ive used this sites forum.
Im done with this. The flow of jerks who have nothing better to do than attempt to make everyone else as miserable as them is endless. We all know this.
To all those who answered ontopic i'd like to say again thank you.
I will not be returning to this.
My final gift to you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bq05mGZPbY
Goodbye.

Why do you lie? you never posted one of your own games! And if you are so sick of everyone asking for one, just post one, say wich moves you think are mindless trades and get it over with. You may get some free chess advice. I know that it may be confronting when other people look at your games and give you advice and explanations. But it sure is usefull!!!!

Aw, come on Imperfect. Don't try to play the victim here.
I'm not the first one to say this, but you should read your opening post again. You mentioned that trading of equal material is somehow cowardly, and drew parallels to it to acts of terrorism. It's only natural that many of the experienced chess players with some understanding of the nuances behind trading would feel insulted. Perhaps the 32 pages of hostility you received was a bit excessive, but even you have to admit that you were pretty much asking for it by starting a thread with such a provocative opening post.
Our opinion is that we disagree with you.
what age range would they be ?
