Actually I had high hopes the beautiful, gracious, entrancing, charming Tryst would be the next "Bobbie Trysts Fischer",  but she has too many other things going on right now, maybe later?  But I bet Bobby Fischer could not remember all those call drinks and flip two beer glasses in the air and not drop either , also flip behind her back a full bottle of expensive scotch, while pouring into a small shot glass! This is what dreams are made of, eat your heart out Bobby Fischer! Cool

trysts

I can flip bottles--one at a time--but we do have a pretty entertaining bartender who looks at it as a sport!

But I can win him at chessWink

And its so obvious, just like by pure chance 5 troll come along and all put words in my mouth, what coincidence? like nothing else to do than to troll me, i mean you wait an eternity to ever find something about chess but a troll attack you get in 20 seconds.

 

Its like kids play ground. really i must be an idiot to even have visited forums.

seriously if i still have sanity i dont visit a forum for a month now. Seriously for 1 month i wont be in forums if you see one post from me in any thread here in the next 30 days you can call me the most spineless idiot there is

And a big thanks still to those who increased my chess knowledge in the forums.

Tets main problem is that extreme ignorance and very pronounced opinions on one subject is a bad combination.

The first factor is usually causing the second. And he is not an exception, alas.

Political affiliation is a great example of such an effect. If one looks at the correlation data parents/children, political affiliation is genetic, even more than hair color. Because well, thinking for yourself and putting yourself in question is hard, so let's go along with the environment's opinion on the subject, no matter how uninformed it may be.

There's some massive projection going on in that last post from Tetsuoshima. He denigrated a 9-year-old girl on the Internet out of jealousy at her accomplishing more at chess than he ever will and threw in a racist comment as the cherry on top of his BS sundae.

Here's hoping you purge the bile from your system during your hiatus from the forums

Actually, you're projecting the jealousy and racism.

Once again, I'm not defending everything TetsuoShima has ever said.

But I do believe in being fair.

Calm down.

Nice try...

The "I know you are but what am I" defense is a classic but kind of played. Try something new

You mean, like using clear and well-written arguments ?

I see what you mean.

I thought he made a joke about Josh Waitzkin rather than denigrating the girl.

What was the racist comment?

@madfredmann

Hikaru Nakamura was a master at 10, but Sam Sevian was the first one to smash that record. Then Awonder Liang did break Sam's record by a few days.

well its face it, there is a total newcomer and you just call that person the next Bobby Fischer.

well isnt it likely that the same happens to that person, that happened to josh waitzkin who was also hailed bobby fischer.

well i thought its less likely that she starts a martial arts studio, but nail studio would be a possibility.

there is nothing sexist about it, its just logical reasoning

1. She isn't just any newcomer. She is the youngest female to reach Expert in the US.

B. It's sexist because you chose 'nail salon' based on her gender.

Carissa Yip, a nine year old, has reach USCF rating of 2000, expert! She could break the record for master which I think is 12?   I think she has been playing for two or three years. She plays blind folded chess as well. Just think a female Bobbie Fischer. 

Don't compare her with Fischer he was a unique player like Morphy and Capablanca that only shows up once in a 100-160 years if ever how can you compare with Beethoven Bach Mozart Baroque and Leonardo Di Vinci?!

Maybe she'll be a fine master or Grandmaster someday but it's unfair to give a child that kind of burden to live up to.

100 - 160 years?  Mozart was born 6 years after Bach's death.  Mozart died when Beethoven was 19 or 20.  There are many great renaissance painters besides Leonardo, such as the great Michelangelo.

It's quite possible to have multiple people with Fischer's talents alive at the same time.  Consider Kasparov and Carlsen, both being born during Fischer's life.

I think the "100-160 years" is no different than when someone puts in a statistical percentage. However, even if the 100-160 years was accurate, it doesn't mean it couldn't happen earlier, and it's more of an average of whatever field is discussed.

Seems way wrong as an average.  For example, in music we have:

I guess that leaves pulling numbers out of his hat. Thanks for the graph.
