This game was played almost a month ago (10.-14. February) as attempt to bring our heated chess discussions with robbie on the chess board and annotate the game after it`s finished. To be honest I did not hurry to do this, as this game was too one sided and it was obvious that my opponent`s EGO would suffer too much. But some people have asked me to annotate some game and also Robbie started to act too childish (the name of this thread is his quote). Also one sided games between unequal opponents tend to be instructive. Let others decide how instructive this one was.

Hi Pacifique
"Tried to post annotation in PGN format, but was unable to do it."
The RHP system can be a right pain having to sort out the {} getting the spaces
in the right order and removing all the white space etc..etc...
A month or so back I went surfing for a better PGN editor other than Winboard
which I was having to 'tidy up' with each post before it worked.
Penguin v6
Copy that into Google and it should take you there.
It took just a wee while to get used to it but once you have noted up a game
using the 'Copy PGN text clipboard' feature I have found it works all the time
without any messing about. You simply paste it in between the normal [pgn]
markers and Bingo!
I now do all the games and positions in the Forum and in the Blog with it.
Do some practise runs on any current thread with the 'Preview before post '
box clicked. Once happy just come out the thread.
Remember you cannot see a PGN game in the first post of a new thread.
Hope this helps.

After having read my opponents annotations i must thank him/her for the lesson, although
his style of prose lacks imagination and is somewhat repetitive. A sense of drama
should ensue as the game unfolds, if not drama, parody, if not parody, self parody, if
none of the aforementioned, a stab at humour, for its the human traits which draw us
and engage our minds. As its stands it was a veritable desert region for any human
elements and read like a knitting pattern. A course in creative writing and/or some
psychedelic drugs might do the trick - kind regards Robbie.

was torn from my own psyche! self aggrandisement?? clearly you have not the sensibility
to discern the difference between self aggrandisement and self parody and here you
are offering advice, I would concentrate on the basics if i were you and let those that
wish to speak in terms other than that which is purely literal, do so. Monkeys and
peaches and such hackneyed platitudes simply dont cut it, free form jazz is where its
at. Is it any wonder so many chess books go unread.
I do not harbour any pretence to be anything other than a peasant farmer, but
clearly such onomatopoeic annotations such as schwiiiiing! have more dramatic
effect and thus more appeal than the shifting sands of ...Nxe4. why? because they
appeal to the imagination. Do you like to day dream? I do.
Originally posted by robbie carrobieAnnotations a la "opens diagonal" & "h3... weakens g3" are more imaginative of course. My mistake - I had to imitate Q as well. What a worthless waste of time...

concern yourself with this peasant farmer is really an honour to be sure, the story of
his life is hello and goodbye, transient as the snowfall upon the stream or the little
bird who enters the feasting hall, sings his song and flies into the morn. As da Vinci
stated, its a wretched pupil that does not surpass his master and i will try to learn
from it. It never occurred to me that something in chess could be termed 'artificial',
but i see now that such is the case, Lasker goes even further and terms it lies and
hypocrisy. As chess is concerned with truth, it only goes without saying that these
artificialities will not last very long, for truth has a potency all of its own and whence
laid bare by logic they shall be exposed to the elements and crumble.
I dont see how I can be helped, this really is the best i can do, yet even water , if it
drips on stone with constancy may make progress, so as the ancient sage stated, do
not despise the snake because he has no horns, who will say that one day, he shall
not become a dragon
- kind regards and apologies if i have offended you - Robbie.
