I must say, who could you be playing as a p1200 that might be a suspect?

himself, he wants to know if he'll get away with it.

Tsk tsk. Inviting comments on a game in play is actually against the rules here.

I think in response to your question:

I agree with Nietzsche that knowledge does not really make life any more bearable. In fact, knowledge is likely to do the opposite: make one more aware of the futility of knowledge. For example, common wisdom often repeats that we must study history in order to prevent past tragedies. But is that really the case? For example, the history of the Holocaust is now well-known, yet in the past 50 years genocides have been repeated, in Rwanda and now in Darfur. Therefore, I agree with Nietzsche that knowledge by itself is impotent to motivate action to change things.

Finally, I think the claim that life is only justified aesthetically can be interpreted in two ways. First, one can interpret the claim as saying that art offers consolation in the face of tragedy by depicting it. For example, Michaelangelo’s Pieta depicts a scene of intense suffering and sorrow, but it offers an almost spiritual comfort through Michaelangelo’s masterful sculpting work, thus expressing a Dionysian tragedy through the Apollonian art of sculpture. A second way of interpreting the original claim is to say that what is meant is that the individual must treat his life as an artist--using life as the material from which he can find his own meaning. He can’t find some pre-existing, eternal, transcendental meaning by searching for it with knowledge or religion. Rather, he must create, like an artist, his own meaning for existence. If interpreted this way, Nietzsche’s claim could be seen as a proto-existentialist philosophy.

So in all honesty I think I'd much rather read on with my current topic, than answer your question. Maybe after you have made 10,000 moves may I consider a serious answer 😛

LOL, not every person who play better chess then you should necesarilly be considered cheater. However, if you suspect that someone is using chess engine to pick the moves he plays, sending feedback to the admins is usually better idea then starting public accusations. That's not just ugly sportmanship but it's also against the site "Terms of service".

Cheers.

Regardless of how he blundered and when is irrelevant. Yes, he blundered. The fact that he's played a very good game since then and caught up with you reflects less on his play and more so on yours.

Exactly what I thought 😀



I've been using my ENGINE DETECTION SOFTWARE™ for the last two years - seems to work well.
