I QUOTE:
"The patzers who surround the chess tables of the local tournaments feel surprise after each move from the master – like children trying to understand how an adult knows that night follows day or that rain falls from the clouds. For most people, experts in any activity or human enterprise have abilities that are difficult to understand and easy to admire" (Preface xii).

So, as you can see, I borrowed this book from the library. Most of it focuses on artificial intelligence. I was surprised to see this passage in this book because, well, it addresses the "Stuff Non-Chess Players Say"!! Hahaha so I was very amused...
That yyeddy guy has left a note on my page requesting to be unblocked. Feel free to see the proof on my profile, but he wants me to ask you if you can unblock him.
Why doesn't he ask Dragon himself?
And Camber, what is "online schaken" beside your rating?
It should say Online Chess...
It does now. That was odd.
Indeed...

Yeah, I've seen that before too! In Spanish and other languages also. Strange...

Sure! Hope he can remember why that happened. If I don't do it then a mod steps in and messages ME to do it (it's happened before) and it can get messy! >__>
What did yedddy do to get blocked, anyway?
He had aircaraft avatars.

LOL
Well, I don't remember exactly what he said nor do I want to remember, but it was something disruptive.
Well. I did it again. I lost on time. Maybe this is a sign that I should NOT play online chess.
Sorry for timing out you, Camber. I know some consider that rude, but time got away from me.
@ Dragon: ha-ha. Saw that coming. Maybe I should set my alarm on my smart phone.
Sorry? You think SORRY covers it? I have never been so insulted in my LIFE! Just kidding; good game XD
Operation Bog Down Fett's Knight Bwahahaha is in effect.
