I play almost exclusively online and it just dawned on me that I quite often make lazy moves. I don't really study each move as much as I should, and sometimes do stuff like hang my own queen.

Bad habit...

Nobody.But I did make a short stop at the Belgian championship as a spectator.

Saw many ugly guys.I don't mind those though,I actually resemble my avatar so yeah...

Smelled 2 specimen from about 10 meters distance.And,judging by the noises,1 guy seemed to have swallowed a live frog

You made a lazy resignation in our game that I'm still trying to puzle out.

I thought the position was lost.

Me too, and yes, it is. But I can't help it - chess, to me, is just a game. A game I like and love to read about and study, but still not a way of life, as it has to be if you want to be a 2400+.

Hmm... I didn't think so. Material was going to be even and my attack was going to peter out but maybe you saw something I didn't. Could you give me a line?

That's what started me playing the Grob. Give yourself a disadvantage then you have to concentrate.

Doesn't work, mind you.
