How do you analyse your game after you played?

Do you have a chess board at home?

Why do you prefer quiet positions over dynamic positions? (obivously the question should be reversed if asked to a dynamic player)

What do you do before a tournament?

If you have a winning positions and there is 2 moves. The first one would give a very strong attack, probably winning in around 5-10 moves, but your opponent has chances to draw if you mix it all up. The other moves gives an ending a pawn up, which would definetly be winning because of your superior technique, but you think it would take around 30-35 moves. Which one would you choose?

the last one would depend on the time control.

As for the dynamic question, if you know he's a dynamic player why ask that question ???

Ha, I was just thinking that the masters at my local clubs would cringe if I  got an hour long interview with them.

 

Each week when I see them before the games start (the clubs I play in run tournaments with one game per week) I generally take it upon myself to grill them for 20-30 minutes with anything I can think to ask.

 

In all truthfulness they never seem to mind me asking.  I try not to be pushy, but since they are what I aspire to become I figure why not ask and get every pointer I can about how to get there.

Bobby Fischer and Garry Kasparov: who would win in a fist fight?

What's the difference between strategic positional play and positional strategic play, if you know?

Double DQ.

Both would just sit in the locker room, waiting for the other one to get in the ring first.

What was the first double-exclam move you ever played?

What is your "!" to "?" moves-played ratio? (akin to BB/K for pitchers)

Do you have a shoe fetish?  Have you ever taken off all your clothes on a bus?
