All the ideas of the past have been full of fault.
Seriously, where are you getting your weed?
Weed? Are you serious?! I think he is smoking weed, crack, and hallucinogens all simultaneously. I'm not sure you want to try that, but if you're brave, it's certain to boost your rating more than computer software. You could even down a beer to go along with it and try chess 960.

That is a mean thing to say about Batgirl, she sweet and kind person and never said a mean thing to a player. I like her sense of humor and quite witty.
I don't mind saying that "Batgirl" is a sort of hero of mine. I love her historical accounts.
Whether she wants to play, or not, is entirely her prerogative.
Maybe she's got some skills. Either way, it's interesting that she has a deep understanding of chess history without a sufficient knowledge of the game itself.

And your "knowledge" offers a base for comparison??

And you have a deep understand in chess? Weren't you 1800 online rating and you are not able to maintain it, maybe you system is not working. Without a proper chess foundation you will not go higher up in the chess ladder.
Actually my rating is 1880.
On which site, Magikstone?
Plummeting from 2026 to 1799 in 3 years is not what many would consider progress.
Actually my rating is 1880.
My USCF has dropped to that level over the past three years. Maybe my training regime has failed me (I'm trying to keep the engines off during most of my analysis). Or, maybe old age dementia has set in.
I'd still like to know what drugs you're mixing with your weed.
Well my rating will continue to rise.

Wich no one has, anyway.
May I ask a stupid question?
Yeah yeah I know, he's a newbie,do we entertain his question or not? All I am asking is Bobby Fischer's book on teaching chess worth its weight?
Any reply would be had,lol
It's just a game folks!, lol

Sufficient ?
And let me guess: you think you're the guy who gets to decide whats sufficient or not ?
And let me guess again: having sufficient skill just happens to have a threshold of about your own skill rating or slighty below it, right ?
Batgirl shares with us a lot of high quality articles for free that she could easily publish for money.
You share with us postings like that mean comment.
Draw your own conclusions from that...
Don't expect a logical one!

Considering its weight, maybe. It's a lightweight book that took me about 30 minutes to go through. It has some useful positions, but it's not a particularly memorable or even useful book in terms of teaching a player how to think. The most memorable thing about the book was flipping it over when you were half way through to read the other half of the book upside down! (No kidding!)
If I remember correctly, he didn't even write it, he just lent his name to the book. There are many excellent books out there, the only reasons to buy Bobby Fischer Teaches Chess is if you are a collector or a fan of Fischer. Yes, I do own it, but it cost me $1.75 at the time.
Bobby's book in which he teaches chess is called My 60 Memorable Games. It is excellent. Stuart Margulis wrote Bobby Fischer Teaches Chess. See http://www.goodreads.com/author/list/32689.Stuart_Margulies
I think in Morphy's day they didn't know good Sicilian lines for black to play. The Paulsen variation was about the best they had, and not great lines of that variation.

Morphy might change his tune if he saw how Fischer and Kasparov played the Sicilian.
no kidding!
It's interesting he didn't try any gambits against the Sicilian
