    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.

    click on the 'advanced options' and the min/max rating fields will become visible.

    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!)
