I don't think you should take this personally, Red Mike. He was having trouble in a lot of his games.

Red Night, you obviously do not understand real chess.

I looked over some of Herbert's games, very interesting and insightful.

BTW: LOL, is that all it looks like? I think it looks a lot like a fountain... or...

It's too bad that he resigned his games with Akizy, I was looking forward to seeing how those turned out.

+1 on that, why would he resign against Akizy but not Weyerstrass?

It's too bad he didn't play out the games with Akizy, but if both players really put their energies to playing their best on CC, the result between them would almost always be a draw.

I know you aren't supposed to comment on games in progress, but my comments have absolutely no bearing on the current position.

Referring to the game in which Weyerstrass has white:

Game 1682902

Weyerstrass's move 22 is very surprising at first glance. And the position after 26. Qxd5 is very interesting.

It's clear that Weyerstrass calculated to the present position on move 22, a full 9 moves prior to the current position.

A full nine moves is very few compared to the depth Akizy analyzes. If you look at the very few games (3?) he actually lost, in his game against Seadevil, he resigned seeing a potential checkmate about 15 moves ahead.

Very few players willing to put in the time necessary to analyze the board so thoroughly. But I guess that's why the good players are good.

Wait until the game is over.

cmon, like that would really help either of them

blinking nora, he's been booted!

Odd. Someone earlier pointed out how he was banned for engine use (or some other violation of 3(b) if there are others), and now the post is gone.

EDIT - Ahh, never mind. It was the other thread in General.
