I'd love to tell you monster :-) Unfortunately, it would not be in par with the topic of this thread, much less the theme of this website, so I will hold off unless I get permission to do so.
Hi from an eager learner

Dude you think I don't know that? - I mean there's a spellchecker in the posting for. "Noone" might not be one word, but it should be. I'm trying to start a revolution here, and you get all pedantic and patronizing; what's up with that, dude?
(Ironically, you actually ended up helping, because now people are writing it as one word to piss you off, so thanks.
)
Hey, coulda been atypo.

Yeah of course, (which i think is one less reason to be a grammar nazi.) But really though I've been writing like that for the past few years or so.

Why do you dwell on the irrelevant?
I don't dwell on you, and as far as I'm concerned, you're irrelevant.
I think you meant irreverent.

Are you sure he did not mean reverend?
You guys are going to make woodie 'splode.
We must carry on, antiunirregardlessly.
I can understand perfectly well why someone like TheGrobe would be irrelevant to someone like woodshover.

Meh, what do you know anyway?

Also, if I'm a grammar nazi, you're a thread nazi, since you've been harping about my "inane" threads for months. I was never told my threads have to meet with your approval, so if you don't like em, don't read em.
I have?

Yep. The latest was just the other day when I said that the only reason I block people is to keep their harassment out of my threads, and you stated that it was only because my threads were stupid. There were a couple times before that you made derogatory statements about my posts, unprovoked also.
That was a mere couple of days ago, I said stupid, not inane that time, and most importantly it was funny.
In any case, I'm not "disapproving", just making an observation.

I stated there was more before that. I wasn't disapproving either, and your "observation" is merely your own opinion.
Another good book or series of books are the Lev Alburt Comprehensive Chess books. I like them because they are based on the Russian Chess School training program which is more technical than most American programs.

Hi everyone. My name is Alexander, aka Alxndr. I found chess.com through facebook, when I was looking for a game to play on there. I never really checked out this website, much less this forum, until recently.
I'm not that new to chess, but I cannot say I am that good either. I was in a chess club in high school, over 5 years ago. I entered a tournament in my school, and I won all the pre-games, but lost the very first game that actually counted (no more break from my classes ;_;).
I love chess very much. Though I knew how to play, I wanted to learn more, so I got an Idiot's Guide to Chess written by Patrick Wolff, and I never realized chess was as deep as it is, and it just made me love it even more. I am eager to learn all I can, and it would be cool if I could even become a professional player (though I am far from it). Sad thing is, I have no cless clubs in my home town, so internet is all I have.
How good am I? I can beat my brother in law quite well, as well as some brothers in the faith over the internet, but I cannot say at the moment I have a chance against a really good player, an experienced one. I would like to become a great player, and even teach my son chess when I have him.
I guess this is my introduction to chess.com. I hear some good things about you guys on this site, so hopefully I will be able to experience those good things, and learn from some of the great players here.
Thank you for, essentially, being my chess club, and God bless :)
This thread has inspired me to dig my copy of the Idiots guide out from under the rubble, and begin to read it.
