If you find having your preconceptions intellectually challenged as constituting an
attack on you personally then either you are neurotic and in need of some
assistance or have a siege mentality, either way, this is the chess only forum so
either 'pony up', some chess or take it elsewhere, as for me, i have provided
reasons for my assertions,
We do not sacrifice in chess for nothing, we expect something in return, whether its
a mating attack, the ruination of a pawn structure, the domination of a colour
complex, this in my opinion puts paid to the idea that we sacrifice material somehow
with the expectation of getting nothing in return, which is a nonsense, the logical
consequence of this is, that its an irrelevancy whether the material is returned or
not, because we have given something and hope to get something in return,
whether its time as in a gambit, or some positional concession when its a positional
sacrifice or even the material back. Now while I realise that this may not be an
original idea, it is the product of my own mind, I do not expect anyone else to either
validate it or to accept it for it has relevancy to no one but me, but what I will not do
is behave like a spoiled brat and start to lambaste someone simply because they do
not share the same opinion as me, for I realise that everyone's perspective is
different. I suggest Duchess64 that you go away and think deeply about what this
means, it may save you from issuing further unwarranted outburst, insults,
tantrums, assertions of misconstruing your text. I have absolutely no interest in
attacking you personally, in fact it grieves me somewhat to think that you thought
such was the case.
