2200? Give me a break. I highly doubt anyone here ever got to 2200 or even 2000 - though maybe some of the actual helpful non-troll people like Nerwal did.
Where to put the rooks in the opening - we're talking 1400 level material here.
Daily chess doesn't count. "equivalent" doesn't count, neither do all these other excuses.
You're sorry? I'd be reasonably pleased, although it's best not to be a troll, all things considered. Nobody is all that bothered about what trolls think, the judgements they form, etc.
Judging by everything you have said over the past 24 hours including all your projections of your inadequacies onto others, despite possibly being good at chess, you have a personality disorder. Now do try to go away, there's a good fellow.
I think the both of you are good enough for each other to be honest.
Anyone that is "a lot stronger than 2200" is at least an FM and probably an IM or (struggling not to laugh) GM. You'd be at the book-writing level. Yet 69AlphaMale109 makes bizarrely ignorant statements like strong players not needing to study theory or claiming he came up with 11. Ng5 in the Open independently of Karpov, some joke.
You gave yourself away with those comments pal, there is no going back from them, no takebacks, no becoming a believable high rated fictional character. Meanwhile you didn't offer the slightest real contribution or analysis like an actually good player would (hate to give you tips for future trolling attempts but I'm just establishing it for any onlookers here).
Maybe in Malawi Chess Federation perhaps they have yahoo-style chess ratings you may have over 2200, nowhere in the real world.

This is all you need to know....
I see lot's of tension in the game. But there is a subtly to the tension. That being said, you should go through "Reassess Your Chess" by Jeremy Silman.. Understanding imbalances in a chess position would help you a lot.
Every imbalance in a game, every strong point or weakness in a position creates tension.

I've just gone through Yasser Seirawan's Play Winning Chess book, as you recommend to start with on your blog. My first impression was that it was a bit basic, but as i kept going i discovered that there were a lot of useful information that definitely improved my positional understanding, importance of space and pawn play! For instance, i didn't knew until now that there was a way to actually calculate which side has a space advantage. The principles that the author teaches in this book was explained with simplicity and clarity, just how i like it.
Can't wait to put my improved decision-making skills to the test in my next tournament game I will go through more books from your recommendation list as time permits.
A certain person has disappeared from the conversation and his comments have gone, just when I was starting to like him better. I think it's strange that so few professional chess players write general books and perhaps it's an indication that they don't have much talent and have to depend on tactical lines from computers. It makes me think that if Capablanca was around nowadays he'd be World Champion. A positional player will always beat a tactical one.
Well, it isn't quite accurate either. At my strongest otb I was playing at 2100 FIDE equivalent for quite long streaks but I was playing too much chess and I used to crack up at some point in a chess season. The highest otb grade I ever held was I think 171 ecf which was about 1970 FIDE equivalent back then. But I was a much stronger blitz player (5 minutes per player) and held my own against people with an ecf equivalent to 2200. Years ago, I had another account here and also in another well-known site, both of which became dormant and were closed at the time my mother died and it was quite a few years later I came back and opened this account. I'd intended only to play for a month or two but started to enjoy it here. In Daily chess here I peaked at 2125 but in the account I had years ago, about 2225 and 2250 or so at the other site, but that's really correspondence chess.
My late younger brother was a talented musician. Much more talented at music than I am at chess. Please listen to one of his songs from SoundCloud. He does everything himself. I love the musical jokes where he pretends to miss the timing slightly.
