Does anybody else out there get annoyed with thread hijackers?

This community often posts interesting threads only for some of our comrades to go off at a tangent with completely unrelated material or end up bickering about useless facts.

I’m a bit guilty of this too (only on the odd occasion I hasten to add).

Does anybody have a view on this?

Interesting. What do you prefer to use against lower rated players?

I was having a joke (probably with myself!) by hijacking the thread 🙂

In reality I have only just started looking at openings. My method up until now has been to play "Reaction Chess" i.e. make it up as you go along (as a look at any of my games would show).

I suppose this has the advantage that no one can work out what opening you are playing but I constantly find myself being chased around the board whilst the opposition develops their pieces far more effectively than me.....

I think kittens are really cute. I used to hate broccolli, now I like. I still hate cauliflower though.

I always play the same openings pretty much. My philosophy is to know just enough solid openings so that I can respond to pretty much every common move, and then play according to principle once I get out of my 'mental book'.

No this thread is not going to Cuba. This thread won't respond to terrorism.

May a thousand kangeroo fleas infest Feivel's armpits!
