Is anything better for me than the Parham?

Gavinator, your pawns are wrecked, there are two places where I can stop two pawns with one, so honestly that techincly makes me up a pawn. but then again you have Ra2 followed by a4 which would make material even, doubled pawns only count as one pawn in the endgame(excepting really wierd circumstances.

The_Gavinator

I don't think you realize, you have one less pawn on the board then I do... How are you talking about winning?

The_Gavinator

So what you're saying is you'd rather be down a pawn...?

The_Gavinator

The thing jetfighter is talking about.

The_Gavinator

I'd personally prefer to be up a pawn, but it's whatever you prefer...

The_Gavinator

what does that have to do with anything...

May I ask you something alexlaw?

What do you think about Gavinator insight on chess. I think that he only understands this:

1. All advantage is material advantage or

2. direct attacking chances to get material advantage;

He does not understands:

1. Any strategical criteria

2. authority of grandmasters and other strong players

3. any good in evaluating possition by good chess programs;

So that indicates last question - how, the hell, you can show him his wrongness/error? He can not understand you at all. He is just a rookie, who is trying to remember moves without any insight.

It's like giving a try to explain quadratic equation to a mother-goose. All response you can get is cacle. After some time he will find anserw himself. (Or not.) Let him be, like Beatles have sung.

people think material is everything in chess, screw it checkmate ends the game.

paraphrasing a good quote

who said the actual quote which is a bit different

Gavinator, you need to learn material is not the only thing in chess, that is why I lost to whatup, I took free material and then lost as a direct result of it.

The_Gavinator

First of all, that was John Lennon, not the Beatles, and the Beatles suck anyways.

As Helzath pointed out above, engines don't matter in evaluating openings.

Aand how can I not understand strategical criteria when in every "refutation" shown results in me winning material and position??

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Let_It_Be_(song)

""Let It Be" is a song by The Beatles, released in March 1970 as a single, and (in an alternative mix) as the title track of their album Let It Be. It was written by Paul McCartney,[3][4] but credited to Lennon–McCartney. It was their final single before McCartney announced his departure from the band (by that time, Lennon had already left). Both the Let It Be album and the US single "The Long and Winding Road" were released after McCartney's announced departure from and subsequent break-up of the group."

You should try to understand the meaning:

When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me

Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
And in my hour of darkness she is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

And when the broken hearted people living in the world agree
There will be an answer, let it be
For though they may be parted, there is still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
There will be an answer, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

And when the night is cloudy there is still a light that shines on me
Shine until tomorrow, let it be
I wake up to the sound of music, Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, yeah, let it be
There will be an answer, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, yeah, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Great song.

I laughed so hard. Also, the Parham sucks, and you clearly don't understand positional play, if you think that your positional factors in jetfighter's post are superior to Black's.

The_Gavinator

I'm up a pawn lol, and I don't follow the beatles, they suck, I just hear that whiny voice, imagine and let it be sound the exact same.

The_Gavinator

they sound the exact same...

-waller-

I'm not surprised you don't "follow" the Beatles. Did you know they split up years ago?

Also, you keep saying that you're up a pawn, but consider this: one of your crappy pawns is bound to be lost in the near future, and then you'll be equal in material, with worse structure.

The_Gavinator

Are you joking? Let it be and Imagine sound the exact same. And waller, I know, I just don't care for the music.

-waller-

Sure, me neither really.

utarefson

You are great, Gavinator. As I can see, you can provide lot of fun not just about chess.

Please, will You become politician?

The_Gavinator

Idk, politics are kinda dumb...

ChessisGood

Try the King's Gambit. It gives up a pawn, but they will go down in flames if they keep it the whole time, especially at your level.
