Wrong. Actually, none of them were psychic, and beyond that, nobody is.

Why, because you disagree with it? I can understand deleting something offensive, but this offends nobody. This is just information, if you don't agree with it, then don't post here. You have to learn tolerance for people saying things that you don't necessarily like. That's just the way life is.

it offends pretty much every thinking being, and it especially offends the genius of capa, tal and carlsen.

just because you do not understand why these guys were so good doesn't mean they must be using special, psychic or whatever esoteric forces to help them play. this idea is disrespectful towards all the work they have done to come as far as they did.

 

btw, why are you trying to 'attack' me when i just gave my opinion on your post whilst another poster called you dumb?

I went to see one today, but there was a note on the door that said, "Psychic closed due to unforeseen circumstances".

Your view offends me more. Just because you have no conception of the spiritual forces that surround this world does not mean we must remove posts that discuss them. I did not make this post because I am in ignorance. I made this post from my own knowledge. These players have a UNIQUE GIFT. They can create positions that have a psychological character. If this takes away from their genius on your part, then okay, you can choose to call bullshit and walk away. But you are asking the mods to REMOVE MY POST because YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH IT. How weak is that? Please, do not come in here asking for my post to be censored. I do not like it. This is the last time I will respond to you, as there is nothing more to say.

whatever pleases you, my special little snowflake.

just please for the sake of discussion, don't mix concepts like 'knowledge' with your drivel about 'psychics'. because if that's the kind of discussion you want, we might as well fantasize about chess gods and then proceed to discuss if they prefer black or white socks; the kind of discussion where everybody can say everything as much they want and still say nothing at all.

And what would you qualify as knowledge your highness? I'd like you to show me one thing that you know that qualifies as a "justified true belief". Honestly, you probably don't have any. From your political beliefs to every fact you know about science, all of it could be wrong. So you, in your infinite humility tell me that what I'm saying is just a fairy tale? Okay. Fine, you're right, just a fairy tale, if it'll shut you up then fine, that's what it is. I don't need to match wits with an unarmed man.

Demanding that something you don't like be deleted because it offends you, and then spin around and say someone else is being a special snowflake is astoundingly hypocritical.

There's not enough people getting offended by every little thing in the world that they disagree with and demand special treatment for, you've actually decided you need to get offended on everyone elses behalf. That's remarkable. 

 

waah waaah waaaah I'm so offended

don't try to start a philosophical discussion if you can't even comprehend my straight up sentences.

this has never been about 'justified true beliefs' of mine, but rather about the way you'd like to discuss things.

once again, do you want to have a discussion where there might be arguments and one might learn from the other and vice versa, or do you want to discuss god's prefered socks? because that's what your 'writings' basically are; a discussion about things where nobody can really argue with you, because an argument requires a certain measure of fact as it's foundation. i just don't see any value for a chess site in your blog post, sorry if this offends you.

 

of course it's up to you; in my humble opinion, non fact based, subjective discussions are far more interesting when they are somewhat more personal. and believe me, i'm not gonna write a single bad word about that.

I'm not saying I believe or dis-believe because I like to keep an open mind, but how do you know this????

thegreat_patzer

 he's a pychic ofc!

this seems obvious to me.   In fact, I'm a pychic, too.

 

he charges $ 78.13 (USD) per Hour.

 

he will now write back all upset that I accuse of him of profiteering from his gifts...  which is untrue... well I was going to do that, but foreseeing his angry post- I changed my mind....

thegreat_patzer

the better question is whether since 13/16 of our WCC were unpychic; shouldn't these guys be thought of as more amazing chess players?

 

in fact, perhaps, we should separate out the pychic chess players from the rest?

 

there's nothing worse than some speculative sac from some dude that KNEW that his opponent couldn't figure it out.  I plain up isn't fair, is it??

Being psychic means you create positions with a psychological character.

 

Capablanca creates positions where you underestimate him and so overextend. 

Tal creates positions where the moves are hard to find often beyond belief.

Magnus creates positions where it looks like he is crushing you even if you're even.

 

This all due to the psychic gift granted to them by one of Elohi, or The Seven.

I'm giving you facts that you don't believe, and you're not open to them so you're not learning. If you read my blog post there's a lot to learn. I bet you didn't even read the post. So you didn't see Capablanca's game versus Lasker and Nimzovitch and how they both thought their position was superior before they lost.

Psychic - someone who can see the future or things normal people can't see.

Psycho - psychotic or psychopathic. 

 

Terminology, bro.
