Hi billion tactics boy are you there

letsgohome

I understand that you just started playing chess nearly 9 months ago, but has ascertained a correspondence chess rating of roughly 1600. What do you think is that the main reason for your precipitious gain in that short of time? 

Scottrf

Do you consider your playing style to be more of a positional player, or a gladiator?

letsgohome

I think the views would like to know, especially the beginners, such as myself. It is truly remarkable

letsgohome

hi scottrf thank you for commenting

letsgohome

I myself am still a gladiator trying to win within seconds, but the best win the crowd through positional play. But positional play does take some experience and knowledge of every facet of this beautiful game. 

letsgohome

the british are coming, it is very nice to have these guys grace my page. Scottrf what the benefits of a positional player vs a tactical players and it possible to be both? Thanks

letsgohome

Amazing, you are my hero, since I have a cousin that deals with autism and i know, well i dont know, but i can only imagine  the frustation he goes through and I can truly say you are an inspiration for a lot of people who will view this page. 

letsgohome

So memorization is a big component of your game, sounds sort of familiar to i don't know like the world's highest rated chess player. So i am guessing that you are a big fan of Carlsen

letsgohome

Will love to know, but right now i think your story needs to be told. Great at chess and conscientious of others starting to sound a lot like carlsen. Am I right people. feel free to chime in and leave positive feedback about on this topic

We are over a 100 views and only two people have spoken up, come on people lets get the discussion going

letsgohome

So, Billion what game do you remember playing when you felt that you passed a plateau and what was the interesting thing that you discovered to get to from saying being a 1300 to a 1500 or even before that?

letsgohome

Im going to open the lines to the viewers does anybody have a comment or a question that they want to ask billion or discuss with him?

letsgohome

Wow very insightful, I too am a proponent of harnessing natural talent and do believe that young players should only start reading and studyign chess books once they have found their own niche or understanding of the game. Very poignantly written Billion. You also surprised me I was sure you were a Carlsen emulator, but is good to hear that you are also a chess history enthusiast  who by accounts believes that you wholehearted love this game and respect it. i am also sure that many of the american viewers will also grativate to you even more so knowing that you idiolize an american player.

The 1800 rated player then compared my playing ability to a time where he played luke mcshane when he was a little younger than I was.

Best quote ever.

letsgohome

So Billion What is your favourite opening and why?

letsgohome

I agree folks this kid may have it all.  Poise, intelligence, risk taking, calculating. He encompasses every aspect that a chess player could only dream to be.  

letsgohome

People i hope that you are tracking the comments. Also, i hope that you are telling your friends to check this forum becuase i think that Billion may be the next big chess player if he continues with his efforts. Does anybody want to congratulate him on his success so far
