With enemies like you, who needs friends? LT doesn't even have to create his own threads. You people are going to make him the most famous person in the world.    

But kinda fame that still does not sell books.... 

Given all the criticism of the author and his book in these threads, I don't think the content of the threads helps book sales. But naming threads after the author puts his name out there. A lot of people see the name but don't visit the threads. Name recognition helps.

I have long known there are not many people on Chess.com.

I guess everyone who saw it, bought the book, and that is it.

So maybe, there are around 100 people on Chess.com, not more.

People are playing, who is reading stuff?

Currently, 10 forums had at least one thing posted in the past 20 minutes (not including off-topic) This seems like a pretty active chess community to me. They don't buy your book because you basically shooed away all of your customers with your forums

Yes, there's a definite pattern here. Whenever something hits too close, you see a sudden surge of posts that only serve to obfuscate.

I have nothing to obfuscate, those are the usual games I am posting.

What should I hide, that Smerdon posted a comment?

I simply had not read it until now, but it is a normal comment.

Yes, there are probably better learning books for club players, in terms of easy access to knowledge, but not to ALL the knowledge available in 'The Secret of Chess', because it is available ONLY there.

People could learn probably in an easier way, but NOT the very same things they could leran from my book, as they are present ONLY there.

As simple as that.

I am not afraid of reviews, words or anything.

2 things I am afraid of are LIES and noise.

Are you sure about that? I've shown several of your positions to be carbon copies of well-known ideas, and several of your explanations to be rather poor.

By "afraid of lies", you must mean "afraid to face the fact that you have lied. By "afraid of noise", you must mean "afraid that someone will disprove your lies, and since you are 'afraid of lies', you will reason that you have a low FIDE because of noise".

I can't PROVE you wrong, but I can certainly prove why you are 99.9999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999% likely to be wrong. Simply the fact that you don't have proof. Not much more proof I need.

Oh and I just found out that The Wikispace site that said you were a Bulgarian diplomat is closing forever on July 31, 2018 ....coincedentily my birthday :D

But anyway, it says it's closing because of lack of financial support. How could they monitor all of the Wikispaces, including yours, if they are closing down? Not only that, once it closes, there will only be two sources that claim you are a Bulgarian diplomat. Both of these sources are created by you.

Burden of proof dictates otherwise: they don't prove you're wrong, you prove you're right.

He’s not a diplomat and he never has been: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Bulgarian_diplomats

Those are only ambassadors and foreign ministers with pages on Wikipedia.

I have served for 13 years, from 2000-2013 and got the diplomatic rank of second secretary, if you want to submit an official query about me, you might certainly do so at the Bulgarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs: http://www.mfa.bg/

I was definitely better of as a career diplomat rather than a forum peddler, but I would never have seen the miracles I have on the chess board with SF.

Maybe some day more people will appreciate my sacrifice and the value of my book.

Your name is nowhere on that page. I searched "secretary", "second secretary" and "tsvetkov" and found nothing.

You don't know how to search.

Most of the info is in Bulgarian, of course.

I guess I am more virulently attacked than Trump, at this time of the year.

That’s really funny. Of course, I translated the page, using that tab that pops up when you visit a page in a foreign language with Google. And, again, there was nothing. And since your claim that I don’t know how to search is ridiculous, my point is proven: you are not a diplomat. Anyone can verify this by themselves.

Burden of proof dictates otherwise: they don't prove you're wrong, you prove you're right.

To add onto this: you haven't proved you've actually beaten Stockfish, nor have you proved many of your other allegations. (Posting games that may or may not be against Stockfish don't count.) Until you do that, you can't just tell us to accept your ideas.

They will migrate to another site.

The Canada flag is just a cover up.

Your true essence is evident: A North Korean spy.

I was searching the net to find something to confirm you are not a Korean spy, and I did not, neither that you are a Canadian citizen.

And I DID translate it with Google.

Do you honestly expect that searching a username would give you someone's whole life story?

Mostly European countries.

To America I have been just shortly.

But that is not the point, the point is WHY do we tolerate that Korean spy?

I don't know. How about you prove why we shouldn't? If you want to prove that he/she's a Korean spy, then do so. Until then, you have no argument, just an illogical claim.

 

It's actually a perfect metaphor for this thread.

 

Also, ever been to Ireland?

Not exactly the language I would use, but sadly, I strongly agree. Lyudmil, is this the path of life you want to take? A path of illogical conclusions and claims that even a smart toddler can distinguish as silly? A path in which you will be forgotten, and those that do remember you remember you as a delusional liar? Cause if that's the road you want to take, then there is nothing we can do to stop it other than debate in forums like these, but I just want you to know that the taking this path is a horrible path to take. How could you be so blind to not only the credibility of what others say, but how incredibly stubborn you are?

People think of wrongdoings as things such as murder, stealing, and all things you can see that are wrong. But there is much more to that. I truly believe it is unethical to be stubborn. We all do it; it's just a small peccadillo. But you are full of stubbornness. Don't have a care in the world how stubborn you are. It is an abomination to just live through life as if you are right and others are wrong as long as you say they are.

While this is probably a futile wish, I truly do hope that you one day wake up to how terrible such a characteristic is, and I hope you will change to be a sensible man who does not throw away logic like an empty soda can.

Even assuming chesster is not from Canada, there is still not even the foggiest evidence he is a Korean spy

Agreed. The thing about the language: I usually don’t say stuff like that, but when someone attacks me personally in a really immoral way à la Lyudmil’s “North Korean spy” comment, the gloves come off.

Let’s see:

Me:

-speaks perfect English

-has Canada flag on profile

-has never told an outright lie in almost 3 years of membership

-is Top Blogger, manages a couple of groups, both of which are credible

-believes in a fundamental respect and humility which all chess players should share

-believes that attacking people based on their rating or putting, say, all 1800s in a box is wrong

-actively contributes to the site

Profile: Hard-working, active, nice member

You:

-claims to be 3500 strength (is not)

-claims to have written the best chess book of all time (has not)

-claims to be a Stockfish dev (is not)

-claims to be a diplomat (is not)

-has not played OTB or online in 12 years

-attacks anybody who disagrees with them

-lies frequently and effortlessly

-claims (and possibly believes) that anyone below 3000 is weak
