Defences to the Parham Attack

My coach is around 2200 fide rated and he only charged me 80 bucks (RMB) for 1hr30min of training. :)

I talking about someone else not CS.

Yes, I agree! It should cost the teachers $750 per hour to teach their students the Parham.

I had decided to vote for the biggest a$$hole. But I could not make my mind, and ended up not voting at all... 

I'm not sure that that's that cheap, my coach is an FM who only charges 80$ for a "1 hr" lesson.

Our lessons usually take at least 2 hrs.

Yesss!!

Oh, didn't notice . Yeah, that is cheap then. I think that's even cheaper than what Vlad charges. Well, it's close, but Vlad isn't rated 2200.

I live in singapore but im staying in china for a while :)

Below find an excellent real-life example of how the Parham destroys all in its path:

I think he was kidding...

What happened to our friend Gavin?  Did he get banned too?

nope he just gave up

Can someone kill the parham? It should only have 2 points left

I'm still concerned about Gavin though.  Where is he?  Are you sure he wasn't banned?

yeah if he was the OP wouldn't be visable. plus I checked his profile he is still a member but I think he gave up on this site.

How do you know that?  Are you friends with him off the site?

nope we live in different states. but I am just guessing. he hasn't posted at all today. maybe he just gave up because either

A. He thinks we are all to dumb because we think that the Parham is a fail

or

B. He thinks we are all trolls

I myself vote for

C. all of the above

THe truth is he just rage quit! :)

Maybe..but its late June.  Finals are usually in May and December.  Plus I figure he could still get on here every once in a while even if he was studying.
