Heck yeah. He's good! (And, much more important, one of the good guys. I was wrong.)
I have a question. Who exactly is Bobby_Topolov?
Charles, why do you ask a question to which you already know the answer?
Another unfamiliar problem is that many humans are better than one self.
There's always someone better.
Well, unless you're Magnus Carlsen. But even he has some stiff competition these days.
among the various recent awards chess.com offers to us should be fine to have a bagde like
LTfan\LThater ...something like..
I never understood the meaning of those trophies.
People are sending me such from time to time.
Why do I need those?

Ok, who even CARES about beating machines?! We don't play engines, we play PEOPLE. And until you play some live games, with some real people, where EVERYONE can see it, no one is going to believe you. Your claim of being over 3500 (stronger than everyone in the world) is as preposterous as me saying I can play 18 games simultaneously, against grandmasters, facing away from the board, while eating a chicken dinner, and playing videogames all at once, and winning every single game. (I'm allergic to chicken.) NO ONE IS THAT STRONG, AND NO ONE WILL BE ANY TIME SOON!
Why being so agressive?
I did not say I am 3500, rather 3040.
OK, back to reality, my ONLY claim is I have written a good book.
And you have no way of disproving this, as titled reviewers only confirm it.
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.
Could you give Grooten's review in the form of text isntead of a link. For some reason, my computer won't let me get on certain sites, and yours is one for some reason.
And from what I see, the other have never called your book revolutionary.
And you have claimed MUCH more than that you have written a good book. You have claimed to be better than any chess playing entity, human or machine. You have called these weak, and so you are the only stong chess player in the world. You have also claimed that your chess book is the best chess book in the world. DONT EVER CLAIM THAT IS THE ONLY THING YOU ARE CLAIMING EVER AGAIN UNLESS YOU STICK TO IT

I agree with everything you said except the first sentence. He might have only a 0.00001% chance to be able to beat StockFish according to the proof he gave, but if he does beat StockFish and proves it, the world will definitely care!
Unfortunately for Lyudmil, that probably won't happen. He will live and die as the person with an FIDE rating in the 2000s, and a book that is just as helpful as any other book, assuming you don't get confused by the psuedo terms in the book. Maybe at the most, he might become a CM, maybe NM at most, and that will pretty much be it
How are you not ASHAMED to LIE and INSINUATE.
I have been CM for more than 20 years.
I understand that you lie once, twice, couple of times, but every time, in each and every of your fully meaningless posts/blabberings???
Wait, Lyudmil CAN beat StockFish
How to beat StockFish:
1. Play StockFish
2. Lose
3. Post the game you have played, but post your position as StockFish's, and yours as StockFish's
4. Get people to believe that you actually won even though you lost
Tada!
Boer.
If you can not analyse a chess game and can not think, go find yourself another forum, the Blabbering Forum will accept you open-armed.
Hey Lyudmil have you managed to teach your chess engine any positional concepts yet?

BS. You've claimed many, many times that you're at least 3500 and have written the greatest book of all time. Given enough time, I'll find several of those claims and put this post-truth ridiculousness to rest.
Why Lyudmil might face unfamliar problems if playing humans:
Humans do inaccurasies. To win you have to spot them, and punish them. Playing only computers you probably will see that this is a different game, and not the same as he is trained to. Humans play outside the computermainlines.
Indeed, but to tell you the truth, I prefer playing a weaker human than current SF.

Another lie. To get the FIDE CM title (the only CM title which is actually a title) you must be FIDE 2200, which you still aren't.

Everything in that post is true, but accepting that it is would mean you have nothing left to stand on.

A very nasty surprise awaits Lyudmil if he dares to play against humans.He knows that very well , that is why he avoids it by using as many excuses as he can that are not even convincing.
Nothing awaits me.
If no one distracts me, I will beat everyone.
I am much weaker when not well concentrated, but still pretty strong.
I might lose some games to weaker players because of lack of concentration/opponent distractions, But how I would really like to be able to play even current SF with 0.000% noise.
I would score 20/20 then.
Seemingly a crazy statement, but true.
Unfortunately, in this world of ours, there is mostly noise.
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.
I am heading towards 2000, Maybe it takes 10 years. And to get there i will use my luck. Human chess is all about luck management. In most games you will have luck. Your opponent makes an inaccurasie. The skill is to spot that lucky thing and punish it, and after that increase the advantage and win the game. You will not have luck in all games, and when out of luck, nothing to punish. In those games its good to save the draw.
Some people are really luckier than others, believe me.
As said, 1.d4 is simply draw. 2 more fast ones with SF.
SF has increased its space advantage and mobility bonuses, 300 centipawns here, used to be only 200.

But @Christopher_Parsons' report shows that the Stockfish you're using is utter BS: strength just 2700, engine correlation typical of a super GM.
You're beating a 2700 computer with massive weaknesses in some areas. That isn't impossible for a 2100 to do.
Well, above diagram is after move 20, Nc3.
I posted this position twice, and the Chess.com software still gives the starting position!!!
Everything is bungled up here, which is to be expected bearing the situation with North Korea and the US budget.
Hehe, did Lyudmil really wrote that? I'd suspect he is my youngest kid, if it weren't for he's 9 yet.
