As you see, I am playing my daily share of SF games/good chess.
Call me weak after that.

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.
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.
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.
This is the only of your posts I am going to reply to, as the rest are just plain LIES/INSINUATIONS.
This software is not perfect, PGN Spy I mean, so the conclusions should be taken with a grain of salt, but I still think Chris made a nice job.
He did something to test and verify, what DID you DO?

I do not think you are weak,: I think you can become very good against humans too, but to reach the level of vey good you probably need to get a lot experience against human players.
Patterns, patterns and more patterns.
Only in this way one will be able to beat SF and get very strong.

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!
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???
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.
I don't want to get involvd in this really all I want to say is that to get a CM title you do NOT have to be 2200 fide (I have one and I am not 2200 or have been) BUT if you reach 2200 you automatically get it.
But you can earn in tournaments like zonal and stuff like that.
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.
That's not exactly what I meant, but what you've said is also a viable example.
Why would you trust Phelps? Because you've seen him swim so well, you know he has the secret to swimming.
"We are not interested if Phelps SWIMS well, but whether his approach to swimming is SOUND."
Well, if his approach is sound, then he ought to be able to swim well too!

I don't feel I have to put in that much time to prove you wrong, since everything you say is blatantly false. Your defense that "PGN Spy is not perfect" is laughable: it's close enough to be used by all of the leading non-staff cheater-hunters and close enough for its numbers to be taken as facts.
What have I done? I've simply shown all of your ideas to be well-known patterns which you pass off as your own, and your games to be of dubious origin.

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.
You have claimed to be well over 3500, since you have claimed that Magnus Carlsen, StockFish, AND AplhaZero are all weak. StockFish is estimated to have around 3400 FIDE, and you call it weak, so you must be at least 100 points ahead of it!
And your only claim is NOT that you made a good book! You called it the most revolutionary book in the world! And that's impossible!
Ok, guys, hello everyone! What an interesting read the thread "The Secret of Chess" and this one were.
I am seriously shocked right now. What do we have?
- Somebody claiming to be better than anyone that has ever lived in chess
- Somebody whose credential is to beat SF in infinite TC against one Minute because giving SF more time would be a waste of his time, he has to analyze too many positions for his next book.
- Somebody who tells us there were only four/five world champions and neglects the rest because they were weak
- Somebody who has written the only chess book worth reading in the history of chess
- Somebody who tells us even grandmasters wouldn't understand the book he has written
- Somebody who claims his chess prowess would be worth 3500 ELO
- Somebody who plays not OTB because he would not be able to concentrate when he has to think about his opponent
- Somebody who has excuses for any proposed way to prove his strength and ideas to a potential readership
- Somebody who arrogantly insults people who are sceptical of his claims
- Somebody who does not play online because he gets distracted by people invisibly watching him and also people online cheat with engines. Also he has no time for that.
- Somebody who claims to beat every engine
- Somebody who claims A0 is weak
Best thing is - it is all the same person. People, really? There are two possibilities here to explain all that. This guy is either a very dedicated troll who gets his kick by getting attention or he has very serious mental issues. In both cases it would be best to ban him from these forums. There are inexperienced people actually believing him, they should be protected from lies/delusions whatever those claims are. Maybe by doing that help is provided to him, too. How can I report individual posts to a mod, btw?
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
Please, STOP TROLLING this thread.
All you say is lies, lies and more lies, nonsense, nonsense and more nonsense.
You here that people? He said he never claimed this stuff! I could easily pinpoint plenty of times you said you beat StockFish! I could find the posts where you said you were the best in the world, and where you called all of the chess engines and people in the world weak chess players! The only person lying here is you. You are a stubborn, stubborn man, and you should be ashamed. It is disgraceful and unethical to do such immoral doings
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.
I was accepted in this forum by pretty much everyone but you. You're not accepted in your own forum because you are the one that is blabbering away. you have repeatedly switched your claims multiple times, refusing to admit they actually exist. You really are delusional, aren't you? You are either delusional or the most persistent troll I have ever seen!

Just one of the claims you have made saying you are the best in the world. If you can beat StockFish even once, you are the best in the world. And you can't, so you're not. Never given any proof, and make lame excuses to back it up. Noise might distract you, but it doesn't bring you down by a max of 1000 FIDE like you say it does. No chess player reacts to noise like that, and I doubt you do either

I'm blabbering? This process is actually more likely to be what you do than you actually beating StockFish

He may have beaten Stockfish but he gave it one minute and himself infinite time. Also he may have taken back moves if he made a bad one. If he beats Stockfish in classical time control it would be an other issue. Also systematically using engines flaws does not make anybody the best.
Look at this: Rybka - Nakamura http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1497429
At least that was fair time control. The engine had to sacrifice before 50-move-rule because it was programmed not to draw when material was better. Not exactly relevant but interesting nonetheless.

First of all, who are you lol? Whoever you are, I have respect for the fact that you have been following Lyudmil's enough to make that list, yet resisted the temptation to say anything for all this time. I couldn't stand not arguing that long seeing such stupid stuff! XD
I believe that there is a good 60% chance that Lyudmil does indeed either has mental problems, is delusional, or just an extremely dedicated troll. I do not mean to offend him, nor attack him in anyway. I am just stating what many of us already have came to believe. However, Lyudmil cannot have his account removed from what I can see. NONE of the rules about posting say you can't argue something stupid that will get people to believe things. It is called freedom of speech. People do it in real life, and people can do it online. If we report him, nothing will ever be done about him. It will be pointless.
Instead, I have chosen to stay on this forum so others won't believe him. I do so with no intention to offend anyone. I just mean to add some common sense in the world
btw chesster, don't get too ad hominem on Lyudmil. You sometimes name call a little to much with not much to back it up. But I know you're a smart person and that you just don't want to deal with Lyudmil sometimes :)
I'm just a chess player who doesn't like when people spread nonsense about his favourite sport. I actually just found the thread recently otherwise I would not be able to keep quiet as well so while I appreciate the respect I do not feel like I earned it. Freedom of speech is a right, that is true, but that just means protection from legal prosecution. I may throw people out of my home if they tell me that my way of living sucks or for whatever offends me. Just like that every forum has the right to establish anti-trolling-policies which include banning offenders. This guy personally offended people as a first strike and he offends chess with what he says. Many people feel the urge to protect their sport, they get (maybe passively) baitet into it so I could see why that could be forbidden. Just look at the amount of posts in his threads during the last month. You could call it false advertisemet, too, which is forbidden where I live. If you insult the police you have a bad time if you insult your host or other guests of the host you may get kicked out. That is their right and it is not compromised by freedom of speech. Sorry if it's hard to understand my point but English is not my first language... Feel free to ask if things are unclear, though.
Just curious... What are the other 40% reserved for?

Agreed. The thing is, I think I've backed each individual name up multiple times, but the list is too long to back them up on every post. 
And personally, my view as to freedom of speech online is summed up by this brilliant xkcd comic: https://xkcd.com/1357/

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.
Actually, you did in fact say you were 3500. More than once. The latest was just a few days ago. Do you really not remember all the times you said it? Because if you dont, such drastic memory loss is not good for chess. And if you do remember, and are just fibbing again, that gives people even more reason to doubt your credibility and discourage book sales. I did say you are becoming less and less credible every day you say something. If you want to have any success selling books, say nothing. If you want to discourage sales as much as possible, keep saying exactly what you are saying.
LT says he's more than 3050 elo.
Why you all are so shocked ?
You all make (randomly...) any sort of illogical and sometimes offensive and out of chess fact statements arguing with a guy you'll never can beat in 10 lifetimes and he can't say is probably over 3000....let's grant him the half of tolerance that you concede to yourself and you will face the fact that the claim he's over 3000 is quiet an understatement.
And one handicap win.
