This thread is getting a bit long now. To help out the forum readers I shall summarize.

1. Kings & Pawns pranked the forum by using a stock internet photo of himself.
2. I challenged him
3. Lex called it disgusting trash talk
4. DerJager called it slander
5. James called it haemerrhoids ( weird one )
6. Alice called it schoolgirl gossip

Exactly what are they teaching at Harvard these days ? Are you sure you haven't got it confused with Hogwarts ? To be honest I'm not sure Harry Potter himself could get you out of this pickle. googleimageerasium !!

Don't forget music too. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll get to see the ultimate comeback in my next post.

I'm back from Africa!

I met Lex 'I'm from Harvard' Rex who then set off to discover the source of the Nile.

James Claycomb is selling dictionaries, Alice filled up a suitcase
with diamonds and took the next flight back.

No sign of Kings and Pawns.

I wondered around for a few days, hired a guide and went exploring.
In a clearing in the jungle we happened upon this huge statue carved
from rock. It depicted an old smiling man wearing a hat.

My guide told me this was hallowed ground and we had to tip toe away.

So that was that.

Anybody know what is the best defence is against the Colle?

Why would you defend against a defensive system? 😀

I suggest you play a reversed Colle (Colle with black). If white refuses to attack, black should not attack either. Eventually, White will be forced to move out of his defensive position as first. 😉

Funny detail: "colle" means glue in French, which represents it's idea quite good.

Back on topic: kings and pawns are just two of the pieces frequently used in chess, though it should be king (without s) and pawns. I wonder how this game would look like:

1. f4 or 1. c4 or 1. e4

No, it's what, in principle and very vaguely, I should be. Although in theory, historically speaking, I should be a Gomarist, but I'm definitely not. Almost nobody here is, any more.

And that's as much as needs be posted on that matter...

Not creepy, just pathetic. And yes, it is.

Wow Richard. In case somebody is really interested: Calvin had a quite strict view on predeterminism. Gomarists believe in short that we are puppets filling in exactly what has been set for us before the world began. Arminianists beleive that we have some choice in the matter.

If anybody is really interested we can have an open discussion on that in debates or whatever the correct forum is.

unfortunately it will probably go to the spirituality forum. if you mention anything there, it soon will be a muddy war about the existence of the one and only... better you open a thread here and always post some chess position and clever question to it... 😉

edit: but i am really interested...

I emailed the person who took the picture that Kings and Pawns originally had in his profile and he said:

Yep, he´s my grandpa.
And nop, he wasn´t a chess player...

Mokra

So hopefully that clears it up - Kings and Pawns is a liar.
