parham attack

alexlaw- I agree. In the two lines above you posted, the main difference is that in the Parham white is up a pawn. Also, in the Parham line you posted, which is a common one, I usually follow up with d3, then try to pin the knight. It's defending pawns have both moved, so if black doesn't play h6, or move the queen, Nd5 wins a piece.

Are you serious?

Lol stop talking about stuff you don't know joey, you've never played the parham

Here's what you can do joey, tell me something that is better than the Parham. See my topic "Is anything better for me than the Parham?"

maybe you need glasses, but please go onto the other thread. This should remain stictly parham discussion, not going off topic.

Ok try this variation for white

How exactly does d5 refute the bishops gambit?

d5 does not refute the gambit, it just gives white a lot more for the pawn he sacced, take with the bishop and get the game over with

No Trust me the asians kill thier students with Homework and extra curriculars, its like they are trying to get the Chess Grandmaster Nuclear Physisist, Well read Futbol Letterman all in one, who happens to be a concert piannist

listen I have a block schedual, and I swear my teachers are evil, I had one who decided for the first test this year to give us 250 question test on the summer reading (sad part is it wasn't even English) that had to be done in 90 minutes, I was done in 45 and I hadn't even read the book or spark noted it, and I made like a 90 or some crap like that, then my Chem teacher tried to blow my hand off (Ca + H20 = Ca02 +H2, H2 + fire = Boom) however I left the boom out of my mind and well that didn't work out to well.

Yeah but you only have 3 classes a day, I have 8.

It sucks to a degree, like instead of 30 or fourty math thingamajigs to do a night we have 90 or so and instead of just barely finishing a book a quarter, try 5 or 6, the only good thing is history we actually got somewhere, like try Teddy Roosavelt somewhere

So... you're saying you had a 250 question test written in a language that's, I'm assuming, other than your native tongue, and over material that you hadn't read or studied.  You say you finished this test in half the allotted time and made an A.

You use this experience to support the idea that your teacher is evil / your classes are hard?  Because it seems to illustrate the exact opposite.

yeah but you have two days to do it, you have 6 classes, but 3 a day. I gotta do 8 every day, so I could have 8 classes of homework to do, due the next day. You got it easy buddy.

well considering my teacher gave most of the class an extra 90 minute session because I was the only won finished after the first day and I was the only one who made an A I was quite happy. any way I meant the class, it was in English thankfully. but the class was some crap like Pshyc or something

Well, it should be obvious that the number of classes doesn't matter much, it's how hard they are.  1 class can be harder than 5 combined classes.

Besides, it shouldn't be about what material you have to know for a test and what letter grade you get.  It's about how much you can learn.  Not cram and forget a month later, but actually learn.  If the class is easy, you can do extra on the side.  That's what makes you a successful student.
