lol is what i have to say for my opponents play

Are there any nice Canadians on this website? There surely must be some...

are you bringing up a comment of me being evil or canadians in general being evil

lol, well it was just your thread title, very arrogant I think. I know nothing about your opponent, do you want me to laugh with you at him or try to help you understand why he lost?

(PS I very much doubt that Canadians in general are evil, but all the trouble I get on this site seems to be from Canadians - coincidence?)

but i excpected better play from him from being rated in the 1600 - 1900 range

What is so wrong with 3...d6?

i said that cause i have never seen that move before atleast remeber seeing it that it was a mistake

5...Nxd8 is a bad move, worse than 3...d6. Also I would have played 10...Nfe7

I do understand the title of the thread though - your opponent seemed to defend by fleeing, not a wonderful strategy... 

Canada: America's hat.

On an unrelated note, d6 is quite typical, and in no way a bad move, yet Nxd8 is quite bad. 12...b6 was also bad, but you didn't play like a magician or anything, so there is absolutely no reason to childishly make fun of your opponent.

Hey mosqutip, just an aside - what happened to the strategy v tactics thread? I didn't think it was that controversial!

HAT?

So you laugh at your opponents after beating them?  Nice chess etiquette.

We are the (self-proclaimed) nicest country in the world! Just ask any Canadian how nice we are and they will agree, so it must be true! 

Uhm, Dawson, I you're a jerk. If USA is stupid, and Canada is the USA's brain, well isn't the brain the source of stupidity?

big deal

At least most of the U.S. isn't frozen tundra and lakes like Canada.

What's weird is, I know a guy named Dawson, he moved here from Canada, and he's a total d*****bag too. How coincidental.

For a 32-year-old chess player, you sure are immature and rude.

Glad to spark such discussion with an outdated joke though.

lol this is great, I think Dawson may have both proved me right and be number 5 on my list of immature chess playing Canadians. Please someone prove me wrong - I love Canada, I want to love Canadian chess players too!! 

(ps "England bitch" = nice touch!)

That's more like it!
