Isn't it obvious to you that the only purpose of the thread's lead in OT Biblical Quote is to lend a note of wonder to the series of chess probes which follow? Probes intended to elicit thoughtful replies to an open ended question, to which a single definitive answer is virtually impossible?
Yes
You've, uncharacteristically, been on me arse in the general forum in recent weeks for reasons known only to you. Give it a rest, thaughbaer. You're among friends here. Nobody's out to threaten or hurt you. Let's continue any face to face air cleaning you deem necessary in the private venue of personal messages, so as not to further pollute this already active and interesting thread. Thank you.

Well since you've made your ridiculous accusation in public for reasons known only to you perhaps you'd be kind enough to link to one of these threads where I've been "on your arse". Thank you.

Another game in progress (edit: game is over, ending on move 5), but the same tactic.
People need to read GP more- or he needs to write another book.

.....that is not counting your two.)
I have recently decided that my years of flank openings has stunted my growth, so I have belatedly started studying the Scotch, the Open Sicilian, and all the other stuff that is played after 1. e4. (I don't count my dabbling with the King's Gambit).
Once thing's for sure, the games end much quicker! I don't know what the stats are, but I bet most of the games in the "Checkmate under 20 moves" thread are kingpawn.

Paul, here's a pill for anybody with too long an addiction to flank openings:
Watched a terrific movie this afternoon, "Revolver" set in the casino opulence of Las Vegas. To my surprise one high roller with only three days to live stakes his considerable bankroll and worldly possessions on a chess game with the Mob's ace player. Riveting conversation punctuates the moves of the game which the terminally ill guy wins handily to the chagrin of the mobsters. His final comment, "Something I learned a long time ago is that you only get smarter by playing smarter opponents". I thought of you guys and this thread and inaudibly whispered, "Amen, Jack. You're singing to the choir".
P.S. There was quite a lengthy set of comments by the nearly dead tough guy about the merits of the Jacoby System.
What is man...
