if you know

Man, I just had the laughter of my life, reading this thread.

And I didn't read it all.

Of course, There's a lot to learn from the answers provided, and the explanations for those answers, and the questions about the explanations, and all the mockery about the questions to the explanations, and the patience and good willingness of some (namely BorgQueen), and so on.

I got particularly attracted to the idea of the nemesis. An idea that got planted in my head...

And now that I think about it, I can't remember how I got to reading this thread. I just hope I'm not dreaming... =P

Well, to say the least, this thread is fun and it's instructive. I'm glad it's here.

I didn't print BQ, I just copied 50 or so, pages to me NET Book files, & read 'm on ze Metro, it sure beats gawkin' at the reflection of ze miserables on their  a way to a work, yo!

hi borgqueen,i have a question.i notice that after 3yrs of playing chess i have no difficulties of playing defense but when it comes to offense its hard to me.im mean if i start to play offense in the bigining of the game and less defense i always lost the game,so what i shall do?.i wait again to your response borgqueen.

thank you borgqueen,but can you give me an example of positional play.i wait again to your response.

A much more difficult challenge would be to give an example of non-positional play.

What?!  How is this thread still alive? I feel like I would be wasting time if I read everything new since I've seen it last...but...I feel so compelled...

Including yours BorgQueen ?

And this one, of course. :)

I just love your accent, man!

BTW: It hurts, sometimes, when smart people beat me for making stupid jokes...

Oh, I'm sorry... Actually I knew it, just somehow forgot. 

My blunder.

It won't happen again. I promise.

(unless, of course, I forget again) :P

Sorry, sorry, sorry. Truly.

And thank you for being so kind.

Edit: just loved the pun. SPAMgioni, lol.

Edit 2: See? I'm using the edit button.

Does that make you the Queen of Messy Posting? lol.

I don't know about the smileys. Anyway, I don't like most of them. Though one must admit that the "Cool" one is really cool.  Probably the best sun-glassed smiley around. And I also find the "Smile" and "Laughing" ones somewhat weird, but I like them as well.

As for the rest, I don't know how much they communicate. For example, I always wonder wether people will get what this one means, when I use it.

thank you borgqueen.
