Christmas Chess Quiz (and other stuff)

What you could try in those circumstances, rather than deleting the content, is to alert your own thread and see if the mods will move the thread to debates, which is technically possible. It's probably worth adding a post to that effect so people know you've done it.

An improvement would be to stop blaming others and take responsibility for one's actions.

You have to deliberately post in here then start the same thread in debates. Then to add insult to injury, claim that your mistake "cannot be rectified by RHP", then start calling others trolls.

Big baby syndrome ..... 🙂

Oh shut up already!
You routinely "heap abuse" upon everyone in these forums.

Outside of another well-known "thread-killer", I'd say that you're the least-liked person here.

It was peaceful when you were banned.

Duchess64 would destroy you at chess so respect your superiors.

Edit: greenpawn would destroy all of us so everyone stop ruining his thread and checkout his blog.

We are lucky to have a Master and author take the time to teach us.
He is responsible for the best chess quote ever...

"Chess games are not played on diagrams...set up your board and pieces"
(In reference to studying tactics)

(Mastering Chess, a course in 21 lessons. Book...multiple authors)

...you ungrateful scumbags 😒

...happy holidays btw.

Going to the library tomorrow to check the exact quote 🤔

I'm sure I'm right but all chess players are crazy and I have to be sure.

Hi Cheesemaster,

I think you are correct. I'm sure it was in reference to me struggling to solve a problem
from a diagram yet soon after looking at it set it up on a board I got it.
(it would have been a Black to play - I hate solving upside down positions.)

I do not know if learning patterns from the screen sticks in the mind.
That is perhaps because of the ease of setting it up and people do
10-20 in a 5 five minute session with the solution a mouse click away if they
do not get it within 10 seconds.

Once solved I'd mess about with it . shifting a pawn here and there,
trying different defences, spotting new ideas etc.

The greatest boon computers have given us is databases. In the past I'd search
for ages looking for the original game to see how the critical position arrived.
Often without success. Today databases do this within seconds. Wonderful things.

The blog is me enjoying myself showing chess is fun and just a game.
A great fantastic game, but just a game. A few are lucky enough to make a living
from it (I did for two years.) but to most of us it should be viewed as great fun.

(I'm not a master, except in my own lunchtime and I'd say I was 'good' but
add at one time was slightly better than good - it's an age thing.)

You're not a Master? 😳

I got a green pawn tattoo!

Maybe I can turn it into Yoda or something 🤔

a green pawn tattoo - it's the chess.com logo! I'm telling Russ.

😉

Hi Duchess,

I have no wish to destroy anyone at chess. (How did I involved in this?)

If ever you do this mistake again (wrong post in the wrong thread. - I've done
it a few times.) then edit the post banner to 'My top 10 Favourite Players' and
pick ten chess players.

leave out Capablanca, Alekhine snf Kasparov that way you will get a chess response.
The trick then is not to visit the thread again, everyone will be posting their own
top 10 and arguing amongst themselves.

@GP a genuine mistake is different from deliberate actions because in the former one should be humble rather than being arrogant/proud.

If one had made a "mistake", then one shouldn't be pouting and having tantrums, then claiming to be attacked etc like a kiddie. This is kindergarten behaviour.
