... then he tries to throw up a cloud of smoke by posting more meaningless games against the computer.
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".
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
