I fear I may have opened the flood gates on strange openings.
I bet now I get sent dozens of games from all over the world.

Ah well...

I wonder if Korch really is a coal miner?

You have to read the "Korch's Korner" section in the article that greenpawn linked to.

Yes, I had read it. And I still don't 😉

And let me ask a question please (sorry for an off top). If I'm not a subscriber, can I set up opponents' ratings' diapason when creating an open seek? Looks like I cannot.

I think you can do it after you stop being provisional, but don't treat that as reliable information.

Ha, the Goose opening! I've seen a lot of weird openings around here (and I'm too conservative to try them out, except the Hammerschlag) but not this one.

I personally can't wait for Korch on the korma, where this fine young player gives us the low down on the latest indian cuisine!

How could you forgot that I have beaten you in blitz so many times? 🙂

P.S. Magnus Carslen is good example of your ability to evaluate someones chess strenght. 😀

Thanks, that's probably how it works. Cause "advanced options" are locked for me so far...

Hi Korch, It's 22:45 here in Scotland.
Your shift down the mines starts soon and I still have not got
my double Rook sac.

Will send latest CHESS magazine anywhere in the world
if you supply game.

He's just a patzer who has been lucky. And remember, he's still only 2nd in the live rating list. What's so special about that? 😉 (Edit: Oh, I just noticed he has dropped to 3rd. Definitely a patzer!)
