    That's quite a coincidence, since I'm the real NN.

    tell me then, I've always wondered, are you real or are you constructed by Greco for educative purposes?

    What is so wrong with correct notation? Nowadays, there's all these new-school videos and databases... Back in my day, we'd have two frames and enjoy it! LOL hey I know that if someone actually reads these moves they'll have played them out this way, at least, rather than searching for them on the internet... Ever since I found this website (actually ever since I've played chess, but this just validated it) http://www.eudesign.com/chessops/ I've liked descriptive better!

    Why do you think that only notation you use is "correct"? Its the same as you argue in language which other don't understand only because you think that your language is more "correct" than other languages.

    Wow... you guys take this really seriously... O.o obviously I'm not trying into get into one of these signature Red Hot Pawn 'debates' where some guy like Cimon uses superb logic to dismantle everything I say... my bad, I was just getting the point across that out of all of these forums, if one dude uses descriptive notation, it's probably going to be me! I don't have any problem with any other notation at all... FYI, this thread was supposed to be about the Double Muzio Gambit, not about notations LOL

    it is true King Greco, peace be upon you, that other King of Chess, the late R.J.Fischer (peace be upon him) also used descriptive notation throughout his life and i personally think that it is easier to visualise Pawn to King four than 1.e4, however, you are correct, this is not about notation, it would be a great pity if your analysis and the wisdom that it contains were lost on us patzer noobs, for we like to click and paste the notation into our respective chess programs and analyse with a virtual board rather than a real one, (i know its no good but its convenient).

    that's what you get posting analysis in obsolete notation. no one will bother suffering through your lines, as they'll probably be filled with typing errors anyway. wise up, use modern notation, and there will be loads of people willing to discuss your lines. trying to argue in favor of descriptive will get you absolutely nowhere.

    naming the thread double muzio gambit would've helped as well. but obsolete notation was the real problem.
