TalFan I am sold!!  After just one lesson my rating went from 652 to 798!!!!   I can't wait for the next lesson so I can become a Grandmaster !!!!!!! This is the great chess bargin ever!!!!!

hahaha 10 EASY payments of $1000? WHO could refuse that??

Cool.

I think you had a live one here, I think you should PM him, apologising about the errors, but saying you like to dumb things down to appeal to the average Joe Soap with $100,000 :-)

I had tried everything before I found TalFan.  I studied Russian and paid thousands to take lessons from the greatest Russian chess minds alive today:  Kasporov, Murphy, and Alekhine.  I watched every instructional DVD by GM Roman Dzindzichashvili, twice.  I devoted myself to the martial arts of Tai Chi Chuan and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu so I could understand the Art of Learning.  Nothing worked. 

Then I took the 10 day course by TalFan and everything changed.  He unleashed the power that was always within me.  In just a few short days, my game got stronger and stronger.  He showed me how to move the little horses to the edge of the board and spring them upon my overconfident foes.  He taught me of the double damage I can inflict on my opponents with doubled pawns.  He stripped away the doubt and fear of dropping pieces and replaced it with the courage to sacrifice early and often. 

I can honestly say that without TalFan, I would not be the same chess player that I am today.

I forgot to say that since I studied with TalFan, I have started dating a Brazilian Supermodel, received two job promotions, and lost 50 pounds!!!!  You cannot afford to go without TalFan's 10 week program!!!!!

I'm not sure which was funnier and more entertaining to read: the article itself ... or the individual responses  of those who have posted before me !!

Regardless of the positive or negative responses, the fact that people replied at all is evidence of creative art at work, or "artwork." It reminds me of a particular MAD Magazine back cover [the kind that folds inward to create a new picture] that displayed a grammar school playground. Within the new picture there was  a sign posted on a schoolyard wall that read: "Please Do Not Write on Wall." Just below that sign, handwritten in black ink, someone wrote: "O.K."

[The point being: sometimes people share things just to share. When we respond to what people share in an agressive or negative manner, responding to that negatively only creates battle ... and sometimes war. That is why it is better to accept people's replies, especially the negative replies, as merely ... ... art at work: Since others have now "shared" what they were feeling ... what was originally said isn't just a sign on a wall any more ... but it is now a work of art].

Oh, yeah?  ... ... ... Me too.  ;)

Peace

Hey guys, I am a Master with over 20 years of experience... I'll offer the same deal but for half the price! That's right, only $5000 for 10 days of lessons. And my English is much better than this joker's!!

(Notice I started my last sentence with 'And'?) lol

I fail to understand how some people here think this is serious!!

This made me laugh, thanks :)

This post is not talking about the topic.The topic is that,ARE YOU TIRED AT LOSING AT CHESS?

Yeah, I am tired of losing chess games... but then again, I always beat petpeters5 who calls himself a great chess player

I find the comments of the people who take things like this seriously even funnier than the post itself.

Talfan, why haven't you been responding to any of my messages?

YOU do NOT exist

OK children, SCHOOL'S IN

Have you ever hit your head against the wall, REALLY REALLY HARD? I have, and guess what IT HURTS. I proceeded to HIT my HEAD against the WALL many, many times, and I still felt PAIN. THIS MUST BE because pain is REAL.

You may say, pain is a subjective phenomenon and cannot be absolutely measured. BUT I SAY, I am a SUPREME COMMANDER and I outrank you and therefore I AM RIGHT."

 

...

Too much pain, or too much $$$- what is worse?
