Yeah, I was listening the other day when he was talking about his chess game. He plays on ICC and I'm sure the time thing is tough for him to get used to. Most beginners aren't used to playing on the clock. I'm glad he's talking about it a lot though. Hopefully it'll get more people into chess. I was thinking about calling the show and telling him about RHP. I know kirksey sent him an e-mail. It would be some great publicity for this site if he started talking about it on the air.

But, isn't he taking lessons over at ICC?
Originally posted by PhlabibitIt would just reinforce his sense of being a victim. He was playing on Pogo. The people that called in the show to give him encouragement were all the stupidest sounding black people you could imagine. Yet, it spite of this, Howard said that he believes that "blacks have a natural ability at chess that whites don't have." Apparently there are a lot of blacks in NYC that play speed chess and do really well at it. Anyways I look forward to one day welcoming Howard to the BWA.
Kirks says he was getting help from Polgar or someone... and sounds like he ended up at Pogo or Yahoo or some other lame site.
Kirks, fix this. I would love to ban Howard from our forums. I'd send that sucker a warning too, after his ban.

If I was still doing that commute, I'd be thrilled that Opie and Anthony had taken his place. They're funny!

Originally posted by kirksey957In my experience black people play differently. They love the psychological aspect of the game. They try hard to mess with your head. Of course, this is on the street or in a coffee or donut shop, not in tournament.
