Sometimes I think so. But that kind of thinking is whimsical.

The game is not flawed, you see, it's the crackpots who play it.


Who let this spammer in?


Put a cork in it, Corky.

Whenever I wake up in a situation like that I can never remember how I got there. Cool

Please exclude me as well.  I find you rude and obnoxious and really don't want your product that badly.

I think this whole thing is a simple internet misunderstanding and too much testosterone, all around (especially that corky/dorky).

I just looked at the excerpt of Andrew's book http://www.streetfightingchess.com/Streetfighting%20Chess%20Ch%201.pdf

and it looks interesting.

Only thing, Andrew...good killer instincts aside, next time you may want to get someone other than yourself to do the promotion...yah?

 You were already excluded. Didn't anyone tell you? I exclude people indiscriminately - you of all people should know what that word means .


lol

Thread is golden.

If you exclude people indiscriminately are you actually excluding them?

I mean, isn't non-discrimination inclusive by definition?

Avatar of theoreticalboy

Perhaps he thinks discriminately and indiscriminately mean the same thing, like flammable and inflammable.

So you apologize certain individuals (not yourself) degenerated the thread, and further imply that those you insulted deserved it.

That "apology" made me lol just so you know Smile

I think I'll stop tracking this thread now - I fear it might spiral downwards again as soon as certain individuals come back online.


I've been here all along, but good riddance to you anyway.

I have never felt the need to post except for now.  I read 11 pages of this thread before deciding to comment so here it goes....

First on the topic -  I viewed this thread because of the question and I have my opinion on the question.  No! Chess is not flawed based on the fact that it ends in the endgame... all games do when players of equal skill play.  Basketball games go into overtime,  board games take hours sometimes, and I can't think of one game that ENDS in the MIDDLE of the game most of the time.  Remember you can CM an opponent in 4 moves or even less if he is that inexperienced. 

Second off topic - I think anyone who feels the need to insult someone over the internet should really evaluate themselves personally (the time they spend and their humility).

Oh yeah, that was it-- I'm really worried now about some knuckle-dragging skinhead traveling several thousand miles to thump me because I've pointed out he's a spammer. 


To be fair, knuckle-dragging skinheads are probably among the most likely demographics to actually carry through.


LOL

How about those who feel the need to counsel those who feel the need to insult someone? Wink
