Can you beat SF like that?
To hell, what happens with the goddam Chess.com software?
It is eating complete sentences of mine repeatedly, when I also post a diagram?
Lyudmil Tsvetkov
Sort:
Couple more games.
I am in such a bad form, that I am only able to win handicaps from SF, not a single win with the full set yet.
And you want me to play OTB and online.
If I can not beat SF, how will I beat other players then?
People who have not read my article on Fischer, might do so: https://www.expert-chess-strategies.com/learning-chess-for-advanced-chess-players.html

You understand people come on here and (unprofessionally) call him things like "delusional"?

My game with @GWTR is going OK so far. How’s yours going Bobby?
You are so much better than you let on! (Bobby is taking me to school!)
Are you sure you have never studied Tsvetkov?

No. And our game hasn’t even reached its tenth move. But thank you for your compliment. 😀

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.
Your defense is "He started it"??
You win. My apologies. I truly wish you well.

Oh no , my defense is something you obviously seriously lack: COMMON SENSE.
If someone says "I am the real God" I will call him delusional.You will obviously believe him.Fine by me.
Apology accepted.I wish you well too!
SPACE AFTER PERIOD LOL

This has gotten way out of hand. Everyone agrees (sadly, there were some people that believed him, if I'm not mistaken)(Other than Lyudmil of course) that Lyudmil is someone who has not broken 2200 FIDE(he could possibly play better than 2200 though, though 2500 is probably an overestimate lol), wrote a book that got lots of criticism (agreed), thinks he is the strongest chess player in the world other than Carlsen (he actually claimed that Magnus Carlsen was weak. He seemed to say more that he could beat Carlsen than couldn't), can beat every engine(We never agreed he could beat every chess engine in the world XD), and spends his entire day on the Chess.com forums looking for haters(I actually fully disagree with this. He is looking for praise, but is confused when he doesn't find it. He thinks everyone will believe he is the best chess player in the world cause he created a decent chess book. The main reason why he's confused is because he thinks his decent book is the best chess book ever written in the history of chess books.). The End. Lyudmil is probab;y going to blow up after he reads this though.
I agree with everything except the "possibly better than 2200" part and maybe the "decent chess book" part. If it was truly a decent chess book, it would contain true insight instead of pseudo-intellectual terms and centipawn values.
He could POSSIBLY be better than 2200. As a matter of fact, he could POSSIBLY be better than 3500. It's just a matter of HOW possible lol
I think it is pretty possible than he has better than a 2200, only because of the fact that he got a review from an IM and GM.
I much more highly doubt the 3500 rating though lol

I knew you would see it like that one day.

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.

I do not understand how this turned into a form of witch hunt.
Mr. Tsvetkov is a former diplomat , therefor we can not fault his character . (So, you're saying that diplomats are somehow perfect in character?!)
He gave up his career to focus on analyzing chess and working on chess engines.
He helped develop Stockfish no less. (No, he simply commented about games that he seemingly played against SF, but is probably fake for reasons discussed a billion times)
He is practically a chess god (So, you have fallen to his hypnotizing trap of ludicrous claims with no proof, haven't you?)
I leave you with this part of a review:
In the last couple of years he has been very active in contributing to develop
Stockfish (he probably didn't even contact the developers of StockFish, much less actually help develop it), the strongest chess engine on Earth (yep, you fell for his trap).
In 2017, he published The Secret of Chess, a ground-breaking work, exploring
unchartered territories of chess knowledge (although groundbreaking, it's not much. it's probably about as groundbreaking to the chess community as the Pillow Pet is to the pillow industry...)

STOP FIGHTING WITH MY BOI LYUDMIL
HIS TIPS ARE REALLY GOOD!
I am not fighting, I am the ONLY one posting some chess positions here.
If everyone would discuss, this would be a great thread.
Skirmishing is easier though.

Chess publishing needs to be regulated by FIDE to weed out the shams..
In that case, I am very much afraid, only my book will remain.
@prusswan wish we could do that for ALL books, but there is the first amendment in the US, and probably similar laws in other countries.
@Lyudmil if yours stay, than plenty others would stay has hundreds others are more legit than yours. Not to mention you wrote more than one book lol
Whether the guy's any good or not, beware of ANY book that claims it will provide you with "The Secret" of anything: such books are aimed at lazy people who don't want to put in the hard work that is unquestionably needed to be good in the field, no matter if it's chess, the stock market, calculus, piano playing, football, etc.
