    Sir,
    How do you figure it deserves a brilliancy prize. The man is 3 queens up to a lone king, And resigns. Well he is wearing the dunce hat, all he needs now is for those points to be taken away from "Easy Riders". Perhaps a ban for him would teach others not to be CHEATING! Actually "Easy Riders", have a lot of unearned points that should be taken away from them.

    Regards,

    Sir,
    Don't be talking about me moving my mouth. Actually it doesn't have a thing to do with my mouth. I type with my fingers!!!

    Also, keep in mind you do not tell me what I should do. Stop talking your drivel, would be a good suggestion from me to you. πŸ˜‰

    Kind Regards,
    Karma is nipping hard on your butt now,
    Hope you are enjoying your day,

    a brilliant study but it hasn't seemed to have stopped Very Crusty from bitchin. He shouldn't be allowed to bitch until he reaches 1600. Its the rule.

    Sir,
    I have no idea of whose game the two hypothetical variations are. If it is one of mine. I certainly wouldn't see all that!!! By the way, when Russ says you make the rules then I'll listen, until then stop your fingers from moving. πŸ˜›

    Kind Regards,

    I was referring to this game: Game 11625537

    I would not have seen all that either (EDIT: not OTB with a clock running anyway). The idea is this: one applies a general principle, for example the gain of tempo by shuttling the king back and forth to force the other king to waste moves and yield ground (the principle is called “triangulation” ), and then, when it gets down to a straightforward pawn race, one counts instead of trying to visualize something along the lines of “I go here you go there I go here you go there...”

    I referred to that game not because of who played it or who won it, but because it happens to offer a particularly clear example for demonstrating how to think through endgames. (There might have been other outcomes, of course.)

    I apologise if this comment is in the wrong forum. Maybe should be moved to "Chess Only."

    How does it feel to claim to people in here that you are "a minister of the most high God" and yet most people regard you as someone who is a cheat?

    Sorry no bitchin allowed till you reach 1600. Thats the rule. Practice some tactics, read a chess book, heck read any book for that matter and who knows you may do better 😡

    rule No.1 - quit moving yer mouth and begin moving yer chess pieces!
    rule No.2 - NO bitchin till you reach 1600

    I'll be handing out worksheets and giving homework later. Please pay attention for you have a record of being a very poor student.

    A prize plum? yes its true I am rather smooth-skinned, with fleshy parts and hard as a stone inside! You may comment as one who is adequately qualified. I may even appoint you as classroom prefect to watch out for those who are talking when they should be pushing their pieces!
