Huh. I'm a Capricorn, too. That must mean that I can play as well as Deep Blue! I just have to figure out how. ;)
Astrology is total and complete B.S. When I was a kid, I thought that the Astrological predictions were just there for fun. I never imagined that there would be people who took them seriously.

It all stems from the most meaningless phrase in language, that seem to give people relief from thinking: "Anything's possible."
touche'. its all subjective, and having the same attitudes and tendencies still has nothing to do with knowledge, experience and intellect. maybe one of those areas is what is lacking?

What are you talking about, RuledbyFear?
"Spilling charm, class and bonhomie the Libran player turns any chess match into a special occasion. When he shows up, even if playing online, the other players now regard a game, or a tournament as significant. And the Libra? If he’s over the age of ten he always has his personal "to do" list in mind: Look for women; find out if any other women are expected; see if his pals have any women near them; and only then, crush, mangle and annihilate his opponent because his foe might have a woman waiting for him. (...) His secret strength is the gnarly way he uses his bishop. No one is better."
I say oh hell yeah!
Interesting post, and yeah Leo about sums my play... or at least if I was winning, my style of play. So I guess because I have been on a constant downward slide from February to now we can blame the alignment of Saturn and Neptune opposite Jupiter. I think that is as good excuse as any 
always good to have an extra out to blame shit on fer sure. lol Leo's rule
Deep Blue's bday is jan 1st
The CAPRICORN Chess Player (Dec.22-Jan.19). The Capricorn is known for being the power behind the throne, the person pulling the strings. His planning is extraordinary, so clever and devious that an opponent doesn’t have the energy to both play and psych him out at the same time. In back rooms, outdoor ventures and/or over the internet Capricorns presents a laid-back style. But, ambition is his middle name. Though the Capricorn admires the chess notables he saves his fealty for Machiavelli. In every great chess player’s individual chart, the planet, Saturn --the destroyer in astrology, is prominent. This celestial body which also gives the Capricorn an especially retentive memory rules Capricorns. Thus Capricorns have an edge when it comes to remembering unusual openings and tough-to-decipher end game positions. He’s the consummate entrepreneur and while playing chess he always has some sideline business or secret, parallel goal in mind. "How can I use this situation?" he asks referring to the chess game and life itself. Practical and precise they do not suffer fools easily. His highly evolved sense of the ridiculous allows him to find humor in everything. From childhood this mirth has been used to put a positive spin on his ruthlessness. At first he seems like the Tooth Fairy or Santa to his opponent, but near or after move 15, his foe sees that the Capricorn has been transformed into a greedy, grabby IRS agent. Each game becomes a case study so how he wins really matters to him. A solid state physicist, not a theoretical one he favors the concrete over the artful. He’s known for resuscitating old, even archaic openings, updating them with a slight hyper-modern twist. His zodiac icon is the mountain goat. Thus a Capricorn is a climber. It’s his nature to walk a tightrope. A climber, it is his nature to walk a tightrope. When pushed to the wall he becomes exhilaratingly imaginative and actually enjoys having to dig himself out. His self-composure comes from his belief, that when it comes to chess, his foe is a parasite and he the host. By marginalizing his opponent this way, his storehouse of energy is unleashed, turning his foe into a tired, chess playing, Sisyphus as once again the Capricorn celebrates victory at the top of the mountain.
