Did you find which it is in Spongy,  Please shsre with us. Zirab and I are trying to locate the exact book.

You're the one who said you found the book @Nwap111 lol

I thought maybe his link is to the exact book.  What I said is that it is part of the Jusupov chess school series.  See all my comments above.

As far as I can tell, the specific game is not in any of the books, Build 1, Boost 1, Evolution 1, Exam 1, Build 2, Boost 2, Evolution 2, Build 3, Boost 3, Evolution 3. I suppose that I might have missed it somehow. The link was to the game as it appeared in this thread.

Classic trap... Overthinking a position. In Golf is known as paralysis by analysis. Now that sort of stuff is for Master players... a regular club dude try to remember so much they probably miss something easy, or make silly blunder.

As for a coach... enthusiasm is very important.

Funny, I would expect it to be in one.  Definitely not in the new exam book.

Guys I found the cure for cancer.

mariners234

I mean, at least I expected it to be orphan tears. It wasn't orphan tears?

Oh.

Ok, so let me update, I didn't find the cure for cancer.

Mariner, that is not funny.  Is jack out again?  I found a picture vol. 1 which matched the picture in my mind.  It would be instructive to see Jusupov's notes.

Oh cool, so you're like a psychic detective?

So it's like, you know, where did my grandma hide her last will, and you're saying there's a picture in your mind, it's hazy, oh, but now you can see it, yes, it's an old oak tree. My grandma's will is near the old oak tree.

I just hope you don't charge a lot of money for your "services" wink.png

You mean when you see a picture of someone holding a book, you cannot remember that image?

mariners234

Not only do I remember the image of them holding the book, but I can see every game contained within the book.

Wait, I'm getting another image in my mind. Yes, the spirits are strong today...

 


You grandma's cat's name was... Mr Whiskers!

Yes. I can hear him. Mr Whiskers is sending you a message from beyond the grave!

(the message is please send tuna)

Mariner, don't look now, but I think Jack is coming out of the box.

Did the picture in your mind (or the found picture) show that the specific Dreev-Arkhipov game is in the book? Did either picture show the specific title of the book (Build, Boost, Evolution, or Exam)?

Nooo, the image is too intense!

These spirits are vengeful spirits!

A shame, Jack is back.

mariners234

I don't know who jack is, but I'm sure you have an image in your mind
