Hi Nowk.
Read it ages ago.
But don't you think a picture is worth more than 1,000 words.
For clarification, I don't disagree with you GP, in fact I think your right, and that most
people should study chess on a board, with a 3d set to get better.
I was merely hoping to point out that in Carlesen's case; the 3d board may have more
to do with psychological training, than any amount of "board vision" or things of that
nature.
I think (yes this is my opinion coming out) much of what Kasparov confronts Carlsen
with currently is meant to bring him discomfort. Much of the preperation I seem to
hear coming out of the Carlsen camp seems more directed towards training his
endurance, stamina, and especially psychological flexibility.
I even take Kaspy's reference to his "abysmal" opening play, to be such an attack.
Carlsen is a great player, however, I believe Kaspy is going to try to turn the boy
into a warrior. The foundation for greatness is already there; we'll see how Kaspy
tries to bring it out of him.

I'm having to put my thumb over that avatar to read your post.
Think we should run an RHP comeptition to design you a new 'still' one.
Kasparov is doing a great job but I'm still going to send the lad a chess set
and get him to admit in print he has one so I can get you guys back on track.
Do you know I actually lie awake at nights thinking with dread at what moves
you are all making and what you lot are up too in the forum whilst I'm not there.

Seriously though. I think I'm getting very close to a point where I'll admit chess is my vice. Not there yet, but close. Especially participating actively in the forums, they take like regular working hours on some days. I quit smoking, but I know I can't quit chess, but I realize I need to take the time I spend on the forums in control, it's the worst of professions you know, especially the salary.
