GM Man-tree

Congratulation for you, brother " GM Man-tree"......

This is a rough translation:

I think he said something like, when he was a little kid he received the opportunity to get involved with a local chess tournament. The experience was so great that he learned how to play and got better and better. Soon he was the best, and won some regional championships years later. He's not telling this story to boast. Because then he played correspondence chess, and realized the depth and richness involved, (a drop in the ocean?), and how little he really knew of the game. Learn from his experience, kids, play correspondence chess! Use opening databases with software such as chessbase light 9.0 / winboard, and research the openings you play. You will learn a lot of chess if you get started in correspondence at an early age which will last you a lifetime! --- GM "Man+tree".

(I hope that's close to his meaning)

Farhan, aku kaget pencapaianmu ternyata sedemikian jauh. Tapi ukuran sesungguhnya kualitas member adalah turnamen open rate. Cobalah terjun ke sana. Aku sudah melakukannya setengah tahun yang lalu, trophynya bisa dilihat di profilku. Benar bahwa di sini ilmu kita terasa keciiiil sekali. Aku nggak begitu tertantang untuk menaikkan rating. Lihat rekorku, sangat jelek. Di sini. aku berusaha menimba ilmu sebanyak-banyaknya dari pemain-pemain berkelas. Itu sebabnya rating rata-rata lawan jauh di atas kemampuanku. Puas sih karena nggak pernah gunakan software. Selama ini, pemain papan atas yang sudah kuhadapi dua top rating Swedia (trulpen, 2748 dan Ludde, 2786), pemain terbaik Great Britain (sproates, 2851), Hongkong (mingmercy, 2547), Rep. Dominika (Cesarito, 2480), Palestine (dawabshe, 2423), China (Guilinman, 2529), Malaysia (drzarul, 2568), Singapore (RosarioVampire, 2679), Vietnam (lostgalaxy, 2381), Thailand (drori, 2438), dan pemain rating tinggi lainnya. Sekondanku di chess.com adalah Nibelung (2672), master nasional berkebangsaan Russia. Dia intens membagi ilmu dan selalu terbuka untuk challenge. Sayang baru aja pensiun...
