Guys I will not give up all of my secrets...I have been playing too long
and know TOO many people...I can get new ideas of an opening sent
to me pretty quick...so like I said...maybe not all of the time who is
better...but who is more resourceful.
I know more NM's, FM's, and GM's that it is not funny...I have been
doing this too long...Hell last week I got a new twist to the Short
varitaion of the Pirc..that one of the US's top GM's sent me...I am
telling you...the time spent in the bars with these guys pays off!!.
But for free...I swear by Chesslab.com
It will help you a ton if you use it...and guys when you have a good
game..please submit it to them...that is all they ask...and you can
live on in history.
I have saved quite a few to send them...but they have alot of my
internet games already.
Hope that helps a bit.

Dave, would you agree that one thing that sets the Masters (and
above) apart from the Expert player is the amount of preperation and
study put into their games? Learning openings, end games, etc. Also,
I think experience is important. If you always play, for example, the
Schliemann, then you eventually learn how to win many positions by
memory, since you're so used to them. Right?

Thanks, I'll look into it.
As for sending them my games, I'm sure they don't want mine, but
there are parts of games that I am quite proud of (eg. an endgame
where I was 3 pawns down & forced or restricted all of my opponents
moves for ~15 moves until I had him trapped & he resigned)
