No luck, no scenerios, have you seen a scenerio with luck?
Is there such thing as "luck" in chess?

@Optimissed
Not to be rude, but it isn't just young people who are self centered, also a part of your rebuttal is a tint off-topic don't ya think?

Only in your mind. If people have complaints about my conduct, it's always only that I am sometimes drawn into responding to the personal attacks that people like you cannot operate without using.
It's actually difficult to know whether the personal attacks should be ignored entirely or not and each person will have their preferred m-o. However, neither you nor Dio have ever won an argument with me. I only argue when you're wrong in something and if you're correct I very often make that agreement clear.
How old are you? I can't help thinking that you seem very young, at least in your behaviour, because sometimes, young people only see their own point of view and that is very often heavily influenced by their role models and friends. If you don't have a proper instinct to choose your role models well, you're going to have some very hard lessons in life. If, instead, you're older, that would present a very different scenario which is inappropriate to go into.
Changing the subject entirely, my wife used to be a practising psychotherapist. Extremely well-qualified, to the extent that she teaches psychotherapists and assesses them. Except that today she has officially retired from both her psychotherapy practice, which she has passed onto a friend; and also from teaching. I heard her resigning from BUPA by phone and she's resigned from everything else too. She's just turned 66 and has various pensions now, so she will only be working as an internal moderator at colleges and establishments of higher education, on an occasional basis, until the end of the academic year. I'm sure that you and others will wish to join in with my own wishes to her for a happy retirement.
That's great news. Now she can keep a closer eye on you.

what are you talking about. Justifies what?

Here we go again talking about people's medication, who has more supporters etc, it's funny but getting old really.
Only one person is claiming a mass of silent supporters. The medication mention is not offhand stereotyping, either.
I understand that it's getting old. But Optimissed, who should have been banned long ago when when chess.com added "idiot" to the filter mainly due to him, only gets serially muted several times a year, which solves nothing.

Dio you're going too far, you might get banned at this rate...
Look, you are new here, and apparently pretty young. I appreciate that you don't like conflict, but I'm not going to get banned. I have never even gotten a warning, much less muted, which are both normal precursors to getting banned.
I may make some pointed statements, but I do not escalate past them. If you can't handle pointed statements, I recommend skipping my posts.

No, it's in the code of conduct, verbal abuse can get you banned some day, don't be reckless.

Again....you are new here. I am well aware of that constitutes verbal abuse on the forums. Let me assure you that "now she can keep a closer eye on you" does not constitute verbal abuse.
There's the TOS, and there's the forums guidelines. I am familiar with both.
Worry about your own content, not mine. Something you should learn early on...it's pointless to fret so much about something you can't control that you say something overboard like "Stop now!!!". Not your call.

"new here" I've played 1,500 games, stop yapping and prove your claim before assuming.

I'm talking about posting on the forums when I say "here". This is a separate server and not part of the chess.com live server farm. I don't care how many chess games you have played.

I respond in dozens of forums look for me, again prove your point.
There is no luck in chess. I have already explained why in a previous page, I think 239?
