About Me:
I started playing chess at 6 years old.. I play the board and the opponent with an open mind, and enjoy slugging it out as the game develops. Theory players tend to be limited to the end of the books directions. when a move is made out of the book they get lost. Books have no brains or ability to adapt to creative players. I have 30 years experience in chess.I have never seen the same game twice and therefore always wondered why people bother hammering prior played games into their memories. What Bobby Fischer played in a certain game is highly unlikely to be played by another person so why bother trying to emulate it. The games you lose will teach you better than any book. I play guitar, saxophone, draw and paint. I am a cook. I have 15 years experience in astrology, and read on all kinds of medical and scientific fields. I enjoy reading on Karl Jung, and Dianetics. I rescue and revive abused animals including the dog i presently own. I will play anyone who comes along...but i won't play games involving waiting more than 3 days a move. I find that the blitz chess in live forces theory and can't say i like it very much. I notice that they are virtually the same game every time which proves my point on theory players. The timer rattles my style too. I have no qualms about trading my queen for a rook and a minor if i see a good position from it so don't think I'm blundering when it comes to you queen hunters.I counter attack a lot and play and have good double attack tactics.
here is the most abundant pgn site you will ever see.
http://www.pgnmentor.com/files.html
i promise that even the grandmasters will be impressed with that site.
to view them...make a folder and name it chess pgns or anything you want...put the pgns in that folder. Open up Rybka, or any engine or database you use and string it in the settings.If the folder is on your desk top you would hit load game,,,browse/desktop/pgn folder. Load what ever game or opening you want to view....simple. Load game works in engines like Rybka Winboard and Shredder. Just choose from the bottom of the list and arrow back or it will only load the very beginning.
