Some things you just can't UNSEE! lol.

All depends on how its taken.  As long it represents "tolerance" of little people, bondage, dolls (which is perfectly acceptable at any age), hardwood floors, its ok.  If youre "offended" because it could possibly represent a hostage situation?  That too is to be tolerated as the possible hostage is white.

We are not sure about her (maybe his or its?) sexual orientation though.

Excellent point.  I was being "insensitive" in my assumption that she/he/it was a female.

The main forum is not that bad, the one that really sucks is the off topic section.

Extremely retarded threads. The weirdos there do not even have any creativity, they just create the same thread over and over again. 

The off-topic section is poison.

When I'm president (of chess.com) I'll ban all the "count to x before ____ posts" threads. It's the absolute height of inane garbage and anyone who participates is wasting their time more stupidly than I could've imagined.

 

I hope elections are soon. 

 

Also delete all the "be yourself" spam, the "the last to post is the most epic person", the "ask me anything"...in other words delete the whole off topic section.

hypocrisy oh how I dislike it.

You are Derailing your Own thread, sir!

You're right, I'm a part of the problem if I let the trolls get to me. But I've made a fatal error in making a thread about them, now this has become a breeding ground for them. 

You need to reread all the posts here that factually state that your own inflated sense of self worth is the problem, not those who call attention to it. You sir, are the troll.

Bingo!! Sharp and to the point!!!

The Karpov vs. Kasparov game 3 from 1984 was fantastic!!

I don't remember having studied it before. 

With what art Karpov first wins a Q-side pawn, and then uses all geometrical and relational (related to relations between pieces minor and major) first to preserve it, then to reinforce his incipient stranglehold on the entire queenside - and finally to force the win of a whole piece on pain of back-rank mate. 

It boggles the mind, what tactical subtleties this extremely talented wizard of the art was capable of seeing and realizing in a tournament (Championship!) game. The level of control!

Any topic other than chess needs to be banned. Oh, wait a minute here.

99% of the people who discuss chess are bozos. Talking through their hats.

This wouldn't work. Let's talk Golf. Pets. Automobiles. The weather. Anything but chess !

You have to clarify chess discussion.  When you say chess discussion does that incluide:

Who is the GOAT?

Could <insert name here beat <insert name here>?

"Im a tactical player, but i keep dropping pieces.  Do i need to study openings more?"

"What do you eat when playing chess?"

Or...are you referring to strict chess improvement questions?  If you are, that will eliminate 99.98% of the questions here.

Let Tom keep his "be yourself" thread. But the most epic person, counting threads, etc need to be banned.

What exactly is this supposed to be? Tom has a thread where you can be yourself. Maybe post these sort of links there.

Jesus Vlad, are you SURE you're of legal age to be here?  By your own admission you don't block, you don't like NASCAR and you have NO idea what FARGO ismeh.png  Why don't you change your avatar to Commander Data because everything goes right over your head, you just don't get it.  No personality, no sense of humor, I feel sorry for the woman that gets stuck with you.
