Do enlighten us, wise one. What, perchance, is "transpositional play"?
Be quiet.
Chess will never be solved, here's why
Sort:
On second thoughts, I've just been to our local chess club and accepted a lift home. We were talking about which players were the strongest in the club. Are you a strong player? I mean, in reality rather than some meaningless rating on chess.com? If you were a strong player you'd know what transpositions are, surely?
Transpositions are used to try to gain an adantage by using move order against your opponent. A transposition is normally a variation or change from one recognised opening to another to gain an advantage. What we are discussing is a variation on that theme.

Lol. Speechless at the lack of self-awareness here...
I know. You are possibly the least self-aware person on the entire site and your lack of it extends to constantly projecting your weakness onto others.
But then you wouldn't know you were doing that, would you, since you are quite possibly the least self-aware person not just on this thread but on the entire site.
I very often give very detailed reasoning for judgements and arguments. I have noticed that although many people appreciate my ability to do so, you don't seem to have the brains to understand arguments so you imagine they don't exist and that the words are just for show. That's because you have never been seen to have given a well-reasoned argument for anything, ever, because you simply don't do that, since making personal attacks on others seems to work so well for you.

You're not helping your own cause here. You just look like you went crazy, got muted for 72 hours, then came back just as crazy.

I mean, this kind of thing is drivel imo.
I was able to predict your (worthless) response almost exactly!
[Also you've never had a humble opinion in your life].
Yes maybe that's what you genuinely think or quite possibly, it's just rhetoric. Nevertheless, take a look at what you held up as a meaningful definition and you might just see that all it is, is a translation of an extremely simple concept into mathematics-speak. Nothing is clarified, nothing is understood better. It's worthless but it gives you pleasure because it's in mathematics-speak, so it helps you feel self-important, which I suppose is good, at least for you, in the short term.
Quite honestly, I used to have at least some respect for you, intellectually. I thought you were probably good at what you did but now I can't help doubting that. Your problem consists of two things. One is that you are obsessed with impressing people. But the only people who will be impressed are probably not worth impressing. You habitually use personal attacks against people, too.
The second thing is your motivation to win arguments by any means possible, rather than in any spirit of honesty. You surround yourself with really dubious characters whom most decent people whould avoid.
Personally, I get pleasure from occasionally meeting people whom I can really respect on this site. I do respect intellect but even more, I respect honesty. I think that is extremely important. It gives me great pleasure to meet people, in real life and on here, to meet people I can respect. Quite frankly I think that such an attitude would be completely foreign to you.

"Look like" seems redundant.

Why do you think it's crazy? It's perfectly obvious that tygxc was being bullied here and worse, younger people were being groomed into joining in with the bullying. It was also being done dishonestly. I could see that the arguments used against me were dishonest and consisted of systematic misrepresentation of what I had written.
I hope that you are not threatening me. Since I haven't done anything worthy of any of the site's punishments, and yet you seem to be making threats against me, you wouldn't by any chance have a corrupt moderator in your pocket, would you? If not, why are you trying to threaten me? Just wondering but it REALLY doesn't look good. For you.

Only someone with the guiltiest of consciences could possibly take that statement as threatening...
As for moderators, corruption, imagining behind the scenes wheelings and dealings...this also does not help your cause.

Dio, let me spell it out.
I expressed an opinion in that post. My opinion is that the opinions of some people here, regarding some of the subject matter of this thread, aren't worth much. However, that isn't a personal attack in any way. It's just that I've seen a constant stream of bad arguments, given by Elroch's "side", which is what I've called the "mathematics side" and it's just a mess, in my opinion. Bad arguments, put together in a slipshod way and laced with personal innuendo and worse. Now, that's what the point is. I'm saying that I think I'm thinking more clearly than others here and that I haven't seen much in the way of good argument from your side. Whatever you may think of that, I'm entitled to that opinion and also I'm entitled to express it, expecially as an explanation of why I'm sticking to my guns and holding onto the opinion that tygxc is actually right.
Representing my opinion as "lack of self awareness" is a personal attack which makes you look ridiculously childish. At least, it would to any mature person with some kind of intellect.

Why is that? Since any moderator looking at this will presumably look at the past 100 pages and see how you, Elroch and others have been making a constant stream of personal attacks on anyone disagreeing with you, why is it that it is going to harm MY case or cause? The only reasonable conclusion is that you have some kind of power here which is based on some kind of dishonesty.

More self awareness issues. "Personal attacks" at the exact same level or worse than "lack of self awareness" bolded for your perusal.

Because your constant imagined paranoid scenarios also make you look crazy. Your "reasonable conclusion" here is certifiable. I know, your friends have told you differently. Your "friends" really should tell you how you come across if they are looking after your best interests, but they are just looking for other crackpots to commiserate and gossip with.
