The Defence Rests His Case Your Honour.
so what do you think about correspondence chess?
Sort:
Only in maths can you proof things. The fact you deny it doesn't matter because Yuri would do the same.
If you really don't want people to think you're Yuri, a good practical solution would be to stop trolling. Yuri was a troll so if you stop trolling we know you're not him. Besides, there are much more enjoyable things in life than trolling.

Love correspondence chess. I see and learn things I otherwise wouldn't.
Exactly! That is what i have come to learn and appreciate.
an alternative to OTB; a learning tool, since Opening Databases are allowed -
But the atmosphere, the emotions, that encompasses OTB is way different, rewarding in lieu of the improvement in gameplay (especially if your stronger OTB opponent invest minutes in pointing out tips and guidance to the game)

Using engines is not cheating on some other servers, such as iccf and ficgs
Really - didn"t know that. Seems a bit pointless to me

Thanks for the comments everyone! I never analyze during the game because I want to train my mind's eye to visualize the variations. I am sure that I get more out of the games this way. After all, I believe this kind of calculation is half the battle, and if you are acually playing out the variations otb you are skipping a lot of the work. But I don't really care what my opponents do because the experience is still the same for me.

Phew. Now that Najgrunfeld is opening multiple accounts, we finally have a solid reason to get rid of him.

I don't like that correspondece chess is discredited for the reasons above - even though there is no avoiding it. To me it is just chess with really long time controls. I enjoy it mostly because I know that I am playing to the best of my abilities and I have thought everything through before I submit the move.

It's called centaur chess: half person, half something else.
Not really so pointless: for one thing, the precision allows for some powerful opening innovations to be found.

Tell that to all the former world correspondence champions who in turn were OTB grandmasters and/or international masters

That is exactly why i didnt join one of those. What is the point, if engines are allowed?

Disappointing that staff can be just as ignorant on the subject. Read here:

Im not staff, just a moderator. I posted my opinion, thats all.

Cyborg chess sounds like a more appropriate name. But I can see it could have its uses though it might assimilate us all.

Well there are obviously different types of correspondence chess, but it's really far from an actual chess game if you use a computer. I don't even feel like I need to argue this point just common sense.

What is the point if opening books & data bases are allowed? What is the point if moving pieces on the board is allowed? Why not allow the engines also? 
I think correspondence chess can be a good learning tool. But, I don't think its real chess.

As far as i know, things like opening books, databases, etc. have been allowed. If i want to play a chess engine, i can do that on my own. Again...just my opinion.

Of course it isnt when you are playing on the internet.
When you play it against actually strong and honest competent players it is a rather beatiful experience. Analyzing is art.
Yeah, the internet plays a major part in why I don't play it for obvious reasons. Analyzing is art of course but I rather analyzing and calculating in your head before the move is played on any board and feel that is more beautiful and deserving more credit.
You'd deserve even more credit if you balanced a ball on your nose while playing.
You can't know something when you don't have proofs.
I know I can't prove it but I have enough to go to trial and convict.
Liking Bobby Fischer is too general. Every player that hopes to achieve mastery would love Fischer.
That was one point I made of many others on why you probably are Yuri. Yes many people like Fischer but you are the only active person one who goes to such extents and reference games, write blogs Yuri.
Criticizing your stupid annotations (at first I didnt care but took a look on it because you mention it a lot, (I did mentioned it to you until you brought it up lmfao) almost as if someone bullied you there) is also normal. Maybe if they were actually interesting or made sense my view on them would be different.
Yuri, you are the only troll to bring my posts up derailing topics to through the heat of you. xD
And I already forgot what I posted on your endgame thread.
Yes Yuri, you probably forgot as you do these type of things lots.
By the way, where is the backbone to your arguement?
You blocked me for recommending you a nice endgame which is famous between chess players and thought it would help you on endgames as you seemed interested on them? No, you blocked me so you can pust your nonsense without having to worry about Donaldo making you like a retard.
lol I got your messages about your fischer endgames but then you added the last straw that broke the camels back and I was convinced it was you. An dealing with Yuri accounts, I block em. :D
And finally the sentence (more like sentences, you can't answer to such stupid arguments with only one sentence) that refutes your stupid difamation.
Can't wait for the backbone to your defence. Your posts provide entertainment! *scrolling down now*
You have no way to prove I am the so called Yuri. Guessing isn't a prove kiddo. The fact that someone likes Fischer or criticizes your annotations is not a prove.
I don't have prove Yuri, only enough to put little doubt on my mind. This is it? You spinlessly tell me that, two of my convincing (to me) 5 points, don't prove noffin?
lol No comment needed. You can say to yourself Yuri I am speechless enlight of your defence!
Good luck refuting what I just said.
xD
