Well, if people want to start talking about the scotch again allow me to present the russian way of dealing with it.
America has what, like 15 trillion dollars of debt? That means each of the 300 million citizens owes 50,000 dolars of debt. I doubt most of the Americans have that much money. That's why there's an issue with the US becoming more and more socialist and needs to be capitalist, but enough with that....
Scotch does lose a pawn on 4...Qh4, it's amazing that alexlaw is a 1900 and doesn't know the difference between losing a pawn and a trade.
P.S.- The US lost the space race, the only thing they did was get to the moon first, the Soviets beat them in almost every other category.
Let's see here:
Soviets:
First satelite, first animal in space, first probe to the moon, first human in orbit, first space station.
Americans:
First human on the moon.
I think it's safe to say the soviets won...
but the Ultimate goal was the moon, and American's got thier first, we were also the first one's to put Weapons in space for defence, (look up SDI/ Star Wars(defence program))
It don't matter as America is approaching communism, it's nowhere near what it was back in the days of the cold war.
Eh it don't really matter, there's like 500 people out of the 300 million that make all the decisions, the individual's opinion really means nothing.
See that's my point right there, and what's the compensation, black can't castle? White can't castle in the KG, and you and jetfighter think it's the greatest thing in the world.
Yes, yes..The US dominated the "real" space race. Just to resolve all other outstanding arguments:
- Tom Brady is the best quarterback to ever live Though a patriots fan, I dissagree
- Michael Jordan is the best basketball player to ever live Don't care, hate Basketball
- Pele is the best athlete to ever live Best Soccer player The best athlete was Jim Thorpe
- Winning American Idol isn't any better than finishing second Don't Give a crap
- Winning Survivor doesn't mean squat Other than being a million dollars richer
- The_Gavinator is underrated and has a chess understanding far in excess of his paltry rating. Don't care
- IM pfren is highly overrated and would likely be the underdog in a match with Gavinator Seriously doubt
- The Republicans messed up this country Political parties screwed america over
- Except for the mess created by the Democrats refer to previous point
- The country was a better place before we allowed Jackie Robinson to play major league ball but baseball was better after we allowed Jackie Robinson to play major league ball. America was worse off in those Racist days (I am white, so this isn't Racialy motivated)
- We could sure use a man like Herbert Hoover again. Hover did Squat after the Market collapsed, we need another Regan
If you were being sarcastic in those, then great sence of humor
if you were being serious, then those are my opinions in Red
I went through 15 pages of this mostly-crap thread, in hopes of learning a little bit about the scotch. Instead, I was disappointed by piles upon piles of Parham crap, and opening "refutations" for some game that bears a remote similarity to chess.
Can we PLEASE move the discussion back to the Scotch, such as some exciting, yet relative-low-theory Scotch lines? I, myself, am still experimenting with my 1. e4 e5 responses as white, and am in the midst of exploring the alternatives. Scotch is one of the options being considered (among the main line Italian, as well as the c3-d3 italian that would allow me to positionally destroy those who believe openings should end in mate
).
