Your "observation" seems like gibberish, attempting to be erudite. I made it clear that many of them had other conditions which led to them being in the ward.
Are you talking to anyone in particular? (or is that passe?).

Patient Z1. Argues with an imaginary literary critic. Demonstrates to the critic that he does not have sesquipedaliophobia by using words such as "erudite" and "gibberish". Then, as revenge, sits down to a game of chess (with only himself at the board) and essays the KIA, defending with the KID. Declines the inevitable draw offer.

The person in question deleted his own comments after he realised it was not a serious essay. He sent me a private message in which he very graciously retracted. The crux of his argument was a criticism in latin terms of the Patient D legal defence.

My only question: did he say j'adoube before or after deleting the comments?
Great post - I really enjoyed it! I bet a lot of us can identify with at least one character! Half of my dream state every night consists of a lone knight desperately seeking his one ideal outpost - I kid you not. When I joined this site, I played a few games. Won a few, lost a few. Up to that point, I knew nothing about openings, middle games, endings, etc. Now, I have watched tons of videos here, trying to educate myself. Guess what? I can no longer play chess. I get soundly beaten most of the time. I am now afraid to play - I feel mentally retarded. I had fun when I knew nothing! Again, thanks for the post - it made my day.
