Why are there no websites willing to give out free information?

The best free chess website is YouTube. Just type "chess" into the search box and you will find 100's of free videos. Most of them are very good, some even by grandmasters including Karpov and Kasparov!

There are lots of sites on the internet that give a person free money, too.  I have sent hundreds of 50 dollar bills to a bunch of stupid Nigerians.  Each of them are gonna give me 10,000 because they think I've won their lottery or something - what fools.

I blocked a poster who was using a thread on databases to accuse those playing by the rules of cheating. The argument went someting like: databases are allowed, but they should not be, therefore, those who use them are cheaters because the rules are wrong.

It's a silly argument, but I sought to correct it through logic. When the poster shifted to personal attacks, I blocked him. His avatar was a cartoon goldfish like yours.

If you have evidence that I've blocked anyone else bring in forward. Frankyyy who tirelessly repeated the same mantra (but without personal attacks) has not been blocked. He chose silence for a short time as a condition in a bet that he lost.

I have some ideas why that might be. But I've already shared those with you. Telling people they're dead wrong, having to have the last word, being sarcastic, aggressive, defensive, argumentative, needing to be right, defending a position to your last dying breath no matter how untenable the position, being  petty...those are not good strategies to use to stimulate discussion. 

There are people on chess.com who have been very successful in stimulating discussion. They use different strategies than you do. 

A change in strategy may produce a change in results. But it will take lots of work. Lots. 

Thank you. My therapist has read your posts and tells me that she spent years listening to me whine about my parents, my siblings, my children, and my coworkers before she was able to get the insight into my character that you have achieved in two evenings. You have a gift.

Your gift may save me $1000s in my therapy. I sense that the next turn on my theraputic path may be towards recovery. Thanks.

She also warned me against mentioning substance abuse to you. She suspects that your drunken rants, insightful though they are, hint at a form of derangement that may be dangerous. There's already evidence of a tendency towards cyberstalking.

''insightful though they are''...hmmm, interesting.

sarcasm, hostility, defensiveness, ridiculous accusations (drunkenness!!), cyberstalking,   the list goes on. But it is mainly defensivenes, and one of your main defensive tactics is  being aggressive. The defensiveness likely derives from low self esteem, and a need to be seen as important. You can take this as free ''insightful'' information, available on chess.com. Free lessons!

Thanks guys!


I think you should muzzle nameno for constantly throwing cheating accusations around. A guy of his strength would never have a clue.

Who did I accuse ? I didn't name and shame anyone. Why take it so personal ? They say the truth hurts and from the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks...

Once again, I didn;t name names...I simply stated what I thought cheating should be considered, based up hwy we consider cheating to be cheating in the first place. I really dont appreciate you twisting my words and falsel accusing me... that is what trolls do...you have proven that...

By "out of context" you mean that the "you" whom you accuse of cheating is not me, but someone else.

Wow, this has gotten deep fast...

...would you be so kind as to show me where I specifically said you cheated ina game of chess.

Sorry, using the, I construed by proxy via, I claimed anyone using any tools outside of those provided by Chess.com for correspondence chess should be considered cheating in my opinion, is based on a hypothetical set of circumstances and is incidental. It was never a direct accusation of anyone specific.
