Put your variation on a board-it is lost.

Looks like you were waiting for me....hehe.

Is this game in progress. If so, none of us should give him/her any more advice.

It's not my rule; it's the website's rule.

The_Ghostess_Lola

oh really ?

TGL, if you care to clarify, I will examine the position, but if you are going to act high and mighty, I will simple trust my evaluation, Cogwheel's, and that of my engine.

Hey, wait just a second here sir !....don't make me mad w/ that kinda talk. I take that back b2....you've been okay in all this (but mouthy in #51)  - it's that ding dong cogwheel (got u 2 confused, but just backread).

Explaining how I see chess ?....I have no regard 4 soft drawish play and no patience 4 'waiting' 4 ur opponents inaccuracies. I say if they want to snap off a minor piece and hang a rook, in a middlegame mind u, in front of a barrier of their own pawns ?....then let them....and then stir the pot. IOW, play w/ some fortitude. And anyone who feels they need to calculate everything umpteenth ? Open the dictionary and look up "speculate" and 'instinct'. U'll never, and I mean never, be a titled player w/out them.

As far as this game, I calc'ed w/out a board setup (let alone a brain box). Afterwards, I saw black's defensive play & subsequently have given black more respect. But, I would do the same OTB in any tournament at any time and I'd still allow the sacrifice - right or wrong (after intense study). Because I revel in white's counterplay.

....as you can see, I have absolutely ZERO regard for silicon-based analysis. Oh, I'll listen, but in the end, I view it as meaningless - and just plain useless.

What happened last nite that has u in a snit ?

You calling me mouthy! Read back, and you will see that many of your posts have been arrogant.

The_Ghostess_Lola

I'm sure cogwheel can defend themself....What are you looking for - a fight ? What happened last nite that has u in a snit ?

Also, while I admire your faith in your analysis, that is so great that you can present the results as fact, I think that you should, at the very least, checked it on a board before telling everyone about an "adorable" tactic.

The_Ghostess_Lola

....and BTW, I'll play you anytime. OTB at my next tournament in the States. No online games though - I don't trust u....as soon as u start lozing u'll probably pull out that egghead tower of yours and start cheating.

Anyway, I am on vacation as I am not able to frequently log on. In a few weeks I will happily play the black side of this position in a 60/30 game.

The_Ghostess_Lola

YKW ?....You and I are headed for a showdown. We're gonna get n2 it in (3) 5-minute blitz games. We'll have a mod oversee it so you don't centaur the games. And I wanna play that jack*** cogwheel after you.

Later. My connection is bad here, as I said. Why not a longer game from above position, to prove that in fact, I can think?

The_Ghostess_Lola

You pick that time "in a few weeks" - and just forget about someone else's game. I wanna see if you can think without that noodle crutch beside you....Smile....

Also, looking at my game history, you can see that I have missed tactics and positional ideas in my online games. See my game against sajisaji and m3p5.

The_Ghostess_Lola

I'll look at those (2) sometime today. Enjoy your vacation time....L

bangalore2

I have done so for more than 800 games...are you reading my posts? I have already established I use the comp as a tool, not a crutch. And thank you, will do.

The_Ghostess_Lola

I'll have u know I won (3) players yesterday in blitz games that have a rating better than u. So, u and Cogwheel be prepared when we play....'cuz ur ratings don't scare me 1bit....Tongue Out....

Boy, I sure got a tongue lashing there.

And BTW Cogwheel (your quote #44), 6. Nxg6 is an absolute howler - and you wrote this up ?....hilarious !....U know ?....I actually feel kinda Embarassed 4u. But, you'll be okay knowing analysis isn't your strong suit. Your ego makes up for it....Smile....

....and for the record ?....you'll be tracking everything we say from here. So don't lie to me.
