Nimzo33, I agree with Dwaxe here. I think you need to do some research on your name.


Yet again, a claim against me with absolutely no explanation. Nimzowitsch is one of my favorite players, how does that relate to me not deserving my handle?

 


Whoa whoa, I wasn't "making a claim against you." I guess I shouldn't have added the "I agree with Dwaxe part." You took it to mean that I agreed with everything he said! I didn't say that you were somehow undeserving of your name. I explained myself: You seem to misunderstand Nimzowitsch's contribution to the chess world and the general nomenclature surrounding his name, so, I thought maybe some research would be called for.

 

The post seems more accusatory in retrospect, and I withdraw any statements or implications that you might have found offensive. It is your choice if you want to research Nimzowitsch or not. I will stay out of it.


forgive me, but I was annoyed by dwaxe's latest post, and when you said you agreed, I believed you we're backing up his "claim" that I didn't deserve my handle. Nimzowitsch is one of my favorite players, so I do know bits and pieces of his history, but I don't particularly remembering him believing 1. Nf3 was the "most flexible move ever". I don't see any part of my posts that misunderstands Nimzowitsch's contribution to chess.

I like chess history, but don't have the time to study up on it, especially if its just to prove that I'm a fan.

As Bobby Fischer said it's: "Best by test".

Elubas

the french defence! 1... e6 may seem like a very unnatural move but after d4 d5 black plans to destroy white's centre eventually and if white doesn't know the french so well he could get crushed by black's powerful centre and maybe an open f file from playing ... f6.
