The thing I hate most in chess...

And then frantically hitting either the "stop" or the "back" button, as if that will cause the browser to go into the internet and pull back the transmission that has already been sent.

This of course is the ultimate "dam it! dam it! dam it!" of chess, including on the board when as soon as you move you're saying "dam it!" in your mind, trying not to show it on your face.

I hate the smell.

To play Rook@pawns or 2 Rooks&pawns endgame against strong player

endgames

Being able to enjoy 3 1/2 years of opponents and friendships and 400 plus games on Red Hot Pawn, then suddenly denied the privilege of being in the swim for eight uncertain months (from Dec 14, 2010 to August 19, 2011). If you're vertical, say thanks.

i used to think this also but i gradually had my thinking readjusted, the endgame can
be just as double-edged and exciting as other phases of the game, if not more so. I
was under the impression that it was purely technical and in many instances it is, but
there is much room for creativity and planning and i came to acknowledge that seeing
the pieces in relative isolation free from the clutter of the melee is quite excellent for
helping us understand the coordination of the pieces and helps our visualisation
immensely.

Hey now. I make lots of blunders. hahaah

Actually I think I've been able to save a blunder or two by being quick enough with either 'stop' or 'back' button...

or maybe it's that I have a really smart and considerate computer...

I think that's the one. 🙂

Reinfeld made comments on this. Most games end in an endgame, so we need to train ourselves for the inevitable. 😉

@robbie: endgames can be exciting and stuff, i know. it's just that i'm not very good at them.

@chesspraxis: or we can train to avoid them!!

This is by far the worst thing that could ever happen!

Current game too!

Move 34.

Look at the state of my board after this witty move..... it sucks. 🙁
