Actually, I'm considering creating another forum thread but it won't be about Nigel Short or King Abdullah II. If I do, of course you'll visit it. Right?

I played against Nigel when he was 15... he won.

If you've been around here for a while, you know that I created this thread as a parody of stupid forum threads. Who would've thought it would become my most successful thread? You're probably thinking, "Damn, Bloggs, your other threads must really suck!" I don't think so. If you haven't visited them, check out my ad with links to two of them on the 29th page. There's another thread too but I don't think people appreciate long commercials. However, as a public service, I'll provide a link to Greatest chess master in history below.

The rooks should be at least 5 feet tall on a standard tournament set.

So you can create the forum thread, Why is the rook so tall?  wink.png

I bet qwertyGEICOBlueMagoes15 isn't taken. That's a pretty good one

It's hard only if you create substantive ones. I created two and watched stupid threads attracting many more people. So I created a couple of lighthearted ones (by the way, other people create stupid threads; I create lighthearted ones) and sure enough they've attracted more people than the substantive ones. Quality does not sell in the forum thread business.  meh.png
