cap78red,

Not saying you used it, but you have posted before that you had Fritz 5 in 1996. It was around 2400 or so strength I suppose. Not strong enough to defeat Short though.

Those that play the game of abuse the nut really need to be locked up to find out how nasty their being.

Interesting.  So your position is that you *are* a nut and ergo should not be picked on.  Well, that's one way to go, I guess.  Kudos for being forthright about it.

Now I'm wondering if Nigel really thought you were Bobby Fischer or if he just titled the video that way to get attention and clicks....

🤔

other evidence it was me i havent stated is if you look at the date of the ural match it was exactly on my 30th birthday i seem to remember the surprise of the match was arranged as a present.

I do recall, though vaguely, that Short might have played Fischer being said back then.

Did you still have Fritz 5 when you played Short. But it was not in Short's league, so I don't think you used it.

i only found out recently it reached folklore status, with him going public with it in 2001 in his chess column in a national newspaper and it even being reported on nbc news

i even now have the copy of fritz 5 i had i had it when i played short yes

Avatar of cap78red

fritz 5.32 or something like that was the best version of fritz in 2001 and in a 3 minute game i think they were i had no way of linking it to the icc interface and no spare computer(tablets hadnt been invented then)

Plot twist: the OP is actually Nigel Short.

I tried to read it, but at the fifth line the lack of paragraphs started to feel painful, and all I could understand was that the OP is trying to tell us a story about a guy called Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.

Did you play 1.f3 2.Kf2 and win easily?

Bobby was once mistaken for ‘ol Wits. It’s a very, very long story. Kind of an epic saga.

Wow
The level of self confidence it takes for someone to think anyone would read this ginormous post with a random story amazes me

i dont actually care what you think or anyone else

Of course you care, or you would not have posted this looking for reactions.

i care about getting the truth out there-i have long given up trying to make a name for myself in chess and am not posting this for vain reasons as i dont actually believe it myself and i know its very likely to be the truth from what i know. So what someone looking at this without evidence might think i can just guess.

Avatar of cap78red

I am actually a westwood leaning chess enthusiast so i am not trying to embarice nigel at all and he and bobby and korchnoi are big chess heros of mine.
