2. (B) Legit business- Show their history, activities, future plans.

3. (B).Real doctor- Has degrees, explain current condition, treatment benefits/risks.

 

Just some highlight about- Fake vs Legit

So that, on all counts, it seems I am legit.

 

yeah, you definitely are very humble and that GM title next to your name is really nice. also, your 3500 rating on chess.com and on FIDE is very impressive, I have to admit.

1. You do not show the title you claim to have, you seemingly don't know human limitations, and think that a human can beat a computer that calculates millions of positions a second, and you definitely don't know the limitations about you and you're 2000 and something FIDE skill. And if you think you're humble, then I don't even know what's wrong with you. So you are b, a fake.

humilty on the chesscom is mistaken for "oh wo is me, my chess sucks so bad i tried to do a horsey move with my queen and i have lost the last 89 games in a row, is there any hope for me or is my brain completely broken". nay i say!!! humilty is neither blowing your ego up to the size of a zeppelin that it's not, nor say i is it the "wo is me" BS!! it is the simple honesty from a true gem in a sea of zombies, that from Lyudmil_Tsvetkov.

I am glad I am not that only one who noticed the arrogance and condescension from certain players, who are stronger than average. 

If we were comparing chess to physical fighting prowess, there would be many school yard bullies, in the chessic sense. I try to give them a pass, since they were either treated badly themselves, or are too stupid to realize what idiots they actually are. Those same guys will then turn and try to use chess to prove their intelligence ...

The more acrimonious Lyudmils' critics become, the less convincing they sound.  He has maintained a much more civil attitude than most of his detractors.  I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, and actually examine his books.  His Bulgarian chess title, and GM Smerdon's positive feedback is good enough for me.  There are many good instructive chess books written by "mere" masters.

I believe you are missing the part where he told us to go to hell.

 

But you can buy the book. It’s your decision.

I'm pretty sure he posted many things along those lines, but they shouldn't be too hard to find.

 

I will say this: the three people that posted above hitthepin seem to be posting just to bump up the thread. Maybe not respond to them, or report it as spam when they start to sound like a broken record?

@Alpha, what's wrong with contributing to a thread? You did it too, by replying to me.  Or are only negative comments welcome?  Report my comment as "spam"?  Good luck with that.

Well, for me, I am about to drop off to sleep. If you're interested in disproving our point about Lyudmil saying things along those lines, then you can feel free to do so yourself. Otherwise, you can just accept it.

Lyudmil may actually have a good book, but his outrageous claims throws away any credibility he previously had.

If I told you I had a spaceport on Mars, would you believe me?

Even if I had previously worked in NASA?

 

Come on. Even that sounds more credible.

No, there is just a single way to skin a cat.

In each and every chess position there is a SINGLE best move.

There are other good moves, but that would mean skinning the cat imperfectly.

That is why patterns are so important, because if you know FEW, you might think there are 3 ways to skin a cat on Friday; if you know many patterns, you certainly will think there is a single way forward.

Purely logical-wise, it is IMPOSSIBLE for 2 moves to provide the very same evaluation.

One will be better, even if only by 1mp(millipawn, 1/10 of a centipawn), due to the unidenticalness of the sum of patterns.

Each and every chess position is UNIQUE, unless it is a transposition, and that is why it should have unique evaluation too.

 

Don't you think that would mean you've solved chess?

If there's only one best move, then you've solved chess!

Is there a chapter about Smositional Evaluation of Chess Smostions in your book?

The burden of proof rests on the accuser.  Take as long as you need.

It all makes sense now. I always knew it.

Straw man argument, the favorite tactic (along with ad hominem) of debaters who lack real evidence to support their argument.

Of course facts matter.  But what facts are you referring to?

Have you ever read "The Smositional Chess Manual"? A really eye-opening book.
