Do you come from the Land Down Under?

I believe one of the biggest problems here is really nothing but severe envy.
...
Instead all we find is this irrational and inexplicable hatred.
... all the unwarranted criticism
Actually, the response he's received has been quite rational, explicable, and warranted.
It's a direct result of the way he chose to promote (and discuss) his book—by self-aggrandizing, calling others "weak", mocking titled players and world champions (both past and present), and insulting any who dare to question his credibility (or his chess notions).
Had he simply came on and left his ego at the door, I'm sure the reaction would've been quite different.
Granted, it's inevitable that one will encounter backlash when promoting a book—but such is the life of any author. Picking fights with the detractors and critics isn't the right way to win them over. All that's done is drag things down a muddy path, full of insults, hostility, and outlandish claims.

His book The Secret Of Chess isn't interesting. There is only one secret in Chess: cheating with engine. I'm sure Mr Tsvetkov's book isn't about nor it teaches his costumers how to cheat online - or maybe on the board.
SF is beatable, I am just not in good form now.
When I get into my best form, I will wipe the floor with SF.
Sure you will.
If you have 10-20 minutes spare time , find the cure for cancer please.
I USED to wipe the floor with SF, and I will do so in the feature.
It is just an immature AI.
Lyumdmil, are you trolling us? Because you have to be either really stubborn, ignorant, foolish, or outright delusional to not be a troll!
DON'T play 1.d4, it is busted:
i'm the guy that doesn't claim to be better than carlsen, or claim to be 3500, or have sock puppets promoting the sale of a book. that's who i am. who are you tevetkov? you make the two claims, and don't have any evidence whatever to back them up. who are you to make claims like this and just expect people to believe you?
All I have claimed is I have written a good book.
Some strong titled players call it REVOLUTIONARY.

Why would you disagree with Smerdon, Welling and Grooten?
Because it is easier to insult than trying to understand something new.
STOP FIGHTING WITH MY BOI LYUDMIL
HIS TIPS ARE REALLY GOOD!
Typical Lyudmil supporter behaviour.
I have a lot of them.
Okay. What if I told you that I was better than everyone at swimming, even Michael Phelps?
And that you should pay me for swimming classes?
Would you trust me? If not, what would you do?
Would you ask me to show you?
And what if I refused to swim in the pool because there were "too many people" inside?
I would trust Phelps, if he had written a manual on swimming, from where it is clear he knows all the secrets of swimming.
In case there is no doubt he has written the manual.
We are not interested if Phelps SWIMS well, but whether his approach to swimming is SOUND.
In this case, verifiable information in the manual(and you have unlimited time to analyse it) is sufficient evidence the approach is sound and performing.
first you claim to be stronger than carlsen, now you claim you've written the only book worth reading. you're either delusional or one of the most persistent trolls i've ever seen. bye.
... or he's (unfortunately) been fighting "fire with fire."
You understand people come on here and (unprofessionally) call him things like "delusional"?
You are very confused but that hardly surprises anyone.
First he said a bunch of nonsense then I(and others) called him delusional.
The first big nonsense he said was that Kasparov was actually weak and that he learns 5 times better wIth Stockfish than if he studied with him!That was only 2 days after he created his account.Then he continued calling all GMs today , even Carlsen , weak and claiming that only he knows the real secret of chess.
There was no "fire" back then.He started it.
Another lie.
I published a good book and spread the word.
Then some trolls appeared, who did not read the book but accused me of something.
Had they read the book, there would be no altercations.
Bud they did not.
This 'Secret of Chess' thread was quiet for quite some time, so the 2 days statement is further lying.
Lyudmil, from what I see, is not the one that started the fire. Us people criticized him first. Lyudmil, however, WAS the person to set a bajillion candles on the ground in a room of a couple hundred people. What I'm basically saying, Lyudmil, you didn't start the fire, but you pretty much caused it. Us "trolls" aren't trolls intending to knock down all of the candles, but it's going to happen. And we do it for a good reason too. Why wouldn't we? We're fighting fire with water, but you somehow magically have some sort of magical substance that keeps the fire going. Most people call it ignorance.
So your defense is also (please read in Eric Cartman's voice) "But mommmmm, LT started it"?
Is The Secret of Happiness (get it?) writing negative comments about the same person over and over and over on a chess message board??
Would you like to play a 5-day move game of chess? I hear it can be fun sometime ...
We who actually see through LT's "I am God and everyone else is nothing" shtick don't have to justify ourselves to you. Do you want to support someone who behaves as he does? He's called every chess player in the world weak many times, insinuated that none of his detractors understand anything, made the objectively false claim that his playing strength is 3500, possibly faked the games themselves, and has lied when he couldn't find any other way to keep his house of cards from collapsing. On top of it all, I and others have shown his examples to be thoroughly ordinary and explained better than he could ever explain them through already well-known patterns and ideas.
Don't play 1. d4, I have 46 out of 46 draws with it against SF.
I mean, how would you explain the easy draw by black?
Chess.com software deletes entire sentences of mine.
Anyone having similar problems?
The Korean hackers again?
At the heart of Chess.com?
Come to think of it there has never been a time in human history where the great minds, the thinkers, prophets and philosophers were not criticized, insulted or prosecuted.
This is simply what the ignorant, uneducated and unwashed masses do.
In time Mr. Tsvetkov’s contributions will take their rightful place in chess history.
Check out moves 36 and 39 in game 8 of Human Versus Machine, Part 1. YOU WILL NEVER LOOK AT MATING NETS THE SAME AGAIN!
(And please don't tell me it's the Rockstar Sugar Free and absinthe mix I just consumed.) @hitthepin, don't be a fool, stay in school!
You mean that one? Only I can beat SF like that.
Patterns, patterns and more patterns.
Only in this way one will be able to beat SF and get very strong.

Well, it looks like LT has convinced another person to become his supporter
I have many, more than anyone could imagine.
They are looking at my games, my knowledge and my TOC: https://www.amazon.com/Secret-Chess-Lyudmil-Tsvetkov/dp/1522041400#reader_1522041400
That is sufficient evidence to convince them.
I am impressed that Lyudmil (Mr 1400) successful converted too newbies into his crappy logic!
If I am 1400, you are just 200!
I guess you are one of those players who have got to 2000 online with A LOT of LUCK.
So, a 1800 player who was very very lucky. Happens sometimes.
I am just the opposite: I have been 2200 OTB, with a lot of bad luck, few played games, etc.
Now, I am 500-600 elos stronger, so you should look up to me in awe.
I promise to teach you something, if you buy my book.
or one more sock puppet
