How did you apply that in our game where you capialised on my every mistake, drove me into a corner, hammered my every piece and then gloated via the in-game chat?

He encouraged you to hate him, didn't he? Goading you into aggressive action, so that you would be determined to demolish him in the next game ...

What?

Are you able to speakky English?

Khun samad pasa ang-grit, chai mai na?

If your avatar is you walking thru Suvarnabhuni airport I'd guess you'd have been stopped in 10 seconds. Was your boomerang full of dope or what? Or are you a really lost abhhoriginal?

However, if that is your picture in your avatar, cos it looks like a face from 6 mile Detroit in '68, it would appear that your neck has spewed up. 😀😀😏

i like this one,

It is better to suffer the winters wind than the tigers breath!

In chess terms i have taken it to mean that its better to endure a relatively bad position, than lash out with a speculative move and suffer deadly attack

my other favourite is this, from The Water Margin (Liangshan Po), fighters against tyranny,

Do not despise a snake because he has no horns, for who shall say that he shall not become a dragon,

My chess interpretation is, every Chess Master was once a beginner 🙂
