Is Puffer really Sea_Turtle? Seems like he finally found common sense

Oh, wow, what a plot twist. I also would like to admit that I’m actually TheSampson undercover

What made it obvious?

i am not sarcastic

there is no way you two are the same

i can get one, but two?

besides you both were on so close to each other that i cant believe one person switched accounts so easily

adding sampson to your thing doesnt mean you are sampson, bricks

besides bricks knows abt sampson so it isnt as far fletched as puffer/turtie; where puffer wouldve had to scroll a bit to see turtie (unless theyre the same, which im 99% sure on oh oops 99% means nothing march said so lol)

I was doing a bit of a social experiment to see what it’s like being on the minority of the argument and how easily angered people can be. It succeeded, long story short. All the games between TheSampson and ScrumptiousBricks were staged (and unrated so it didn’t break chess.com guidelines) as well as the little fights we had, like Bricks throwing a tantrum in the middle of the forums talking about how nobody wants to listen to Sampson.

changed your flag again huh

anyway this is a bit too much

what if i say march is my alt account (IT ISNT THIS IS A RHETORICAL QUESTION + JOKE) and that i staged all the conversations

obv i didnt and it isnt my alt but still

thats what your argument feels like for me, just think; it could be not real

also please stop

unlike puffer/turtie, you still have access to the main account

Ilampozhil25

the thing abt staging makes me wonder

can people create a 100% staged, completely insane drama in chess.com and rip the community on it lol

every main character would be informed on what to do lol

yeah that’s true

Ilampozhil25

i am genuinely baffled as to what is true there

anyway, youre saying that you made your alt publicly insult your main to the point where i responded fully to those arguments

Basically. I also tricked others like Sea_Turtle, Samuel, Frogboy, and more into responding to Bricky-Wicky.

aah cool

also d4iscrazy

this is a complete plot twist though, we were talking abt bricks = yerachmeal

WAIT

were you the one who started that thing to make us less sus?

or what?

and i do think someone mini caught on with "why do you care about sampson a lot" to bricks

also, why did you make your "i am always right" argument

The “I’m always right” thing is a little joke me and Frogboy have

Yerachmeal is a seperate entity, didn’t plan for him to come along

Someone else posted that earlier on. The dude is wron, blocking in your own knight for no reason does not make the SIcilian defense "lose by force."

Nothing will refute the Sicilian. Grandmasters have analyzed any move you can think of for white, and black is never significantly better

In the caro cant

  • white has a larger center with more/quicker development
  • white has a space advantage
  • white can easily hold an advantage the whole game
  • black is usually left passive
  • blacks light squared bishop is typically a liability and will be kicked around the whole opening/middlegame
  • the best black can play for is a draw

white can also easily attack black without having to risk much

(I'm responding to this and to anyone and any other posts outlining the negatives of the Caro)

For one, tell me those positions are easier to play for white honestly.

For two, the 1600+ lichess database for blitz and longer has white at 47% win rate and black with 48%. Practically, the Caro is on par or at least very, very similar in level to the Sicilian
