lol, interetsing and controversial, ahhh, at last some decent debate without the nasty personal insults that stem from what Steve Lopez terms 'its all about me', culture.

I'm too lazy to search the rest of the thread to see if there was a book mentioned about this... so any books about it?

Hi Robbie. No, I'm not Steve Lopez. However, I decline to comment on whether I'm Alex Bangiev. 😛 It WOULD be cool if Steve could make a post or two while he's reading this thread. (Hint, hint, Steve.)

I don't know if I'd be able to talk him into showing up or not.

20...g6... I also looked at f6... anything to give the Black King some breathing room! At work now, though; don't have any notes with me.

AFAIK, the only book on it is in German.

I don't know. German doesn't do me any good, so I didn't check into it. But a previous post of ivanhoe's mentions the book.

My god! Do you crave attention or something?

I know you can't be talking about me here - I didn't buy the biggest honking vehicle I could find. 😛

lol, obviously you read the article, it was immensely amusing and quite insightful, i really like the American way of looking at the nature of something, drawing comparisons and looking for parallels else where, it was as unpretentious as it was honest.

Does this method work in all positions?

I too liked the article. But the thing that I couldn't quite wrap my mind around was that someone who lives in New York could like Delbert McClinton. 😀

ok, so now you know what my motives are, amazing, really amazing, is it some kind of gift that you have? i myself struggle quite hard to see myself the way others see me, true objectivity has always been quite elusive, (thats why i am such a bad chess player), but thanks to guys like you my true persona is slowly becoming really lucid.

once i thought that to be unassuming was virtuous , or so i thought, clearly my thinking was quite erroneous? do you also read minds? what about books? can you tell what i am thinking now? who is your god? you see, 'its not all about me'.

openings, middle game and transition to the endgame, but happily only touches on all that boring endgame stuff. whether it works or not, i think that the jury is still undecided. more examples of people who practice it are are needed so that a greater consensus of thought can be taken.

I use square strategy when i make plans... so as to have my pieces cooperate better since i am not a master at maneuvering.
