Thank you general14 for writing in. We all need constructive critism and knowing what i know about BTB, a guess that what the kids are calling him so i will conform and it makes me seem cooler, lol, i know he appreciates it too. So, general14 what is your favourite deffense

Scottrf

Do you plan on achieving Luke McShane's rating while having a successful career, or do you plan on becoming a chess professional and better than him?

I am a fan of the sicelian dragon. Its my favorite one and has helped me win 4 games out of four as black in my first tournament.

Quite impressive, you might be the next person i interview. People who write in and have shown improvement in their ratings have a chance to be the next person to have their story told. Everyone of us has a story and I want to interview you. The real you not a fabrication as all of us have struggles and triumphes and you deserve them to be told. So, just write in on the topic and have a chance to be heard

Wow that just went over my head. LOL. Amazing so you have to shown the ability to adapt to your opponents, which I think is quite important. As many beginnners and may i say some intermediate players just try and make their opponent have to adapt to them, but in the case of a prepared opponent they will lose. This is master level thinking i am truly impressed. LMAO, i am also intrigued that you flip a cointo pick an opening, randomosity is good as well. And then finally the ability to improvise shows you are willling to get out of your comfort zone. Simply remarkable

im beginning to wonder if fischer was right to say chess nowadays is pre-arranged, creativity dead.

letsgohome

My thoughts exactly. That is why it is refreshing to see a young player like BTB who is all talent and creavitity.

Thank you Konhidras for your comment

I see what you mean when you say that you like gambits!

What sort of success do you have with the king's gambit?

letsgohome

Multi level thinking and what i like to call 360 thinking, basically knowing your thoughts and how you are preceived, BTB has it all. 

letsgohome

BTB do you play rollercoaster tycoon? Also, johyoudell has a good question qoute #39

People i hope that you are tracking the comments. Also, i hope that you are telling your friends to check this forum becuase i think that Billion may be the next big chess player if he continues with his efforts. Also, read this thread from the very first poll it may change your life or at the very least make your day. Thank you for supporting BTB

Ziryab

Two questions, BTB:

1) What books about Paul Morphy have you read?

2) 1.d4 e6 What's your next move as White?

letsgohome

interesting, does anybody want to comment on the brand new opening that makes it debut on this forum- chess discussion with your host letsgohome

letsgohome

letsgohome

LOL.  I had a strong feeling that you did have the game. LOL. I wonder if it is  conducive to your strong creativity gameplay.

I love to see highly rated players taking interest in strong young players. As i alsways say information is a public good, it cannot be overly consumed.
