Originally posted by clarencecuasayCould be, but I doubt it. Take a look at some of his games. Pieces repeatedly put en prise, pieces not retreated from being en prise, failure to capture pieces en prise. And in one case, a pawn has a choice to capture either another pawn or a knight, and guess which one is chosen. Yep, the pawn.
Could be a young kid who signed up to play chess. I used to play like that in my first year of learning chess. "Move first, think later" was my opening theory then.
Funny enough as I was looking up some of the games in Fritz, I turned up this game by Short last year.

Is that what Short plays regularly? However he still won while other top GMs were reportedly having trouble beating amateurs in the Olympiad.

Yeah!
Look at my 1st 2 moves in Game 3514797.
Don't worry about the rest and don't comment as still in progress although comments on my 1st 2 moves won't do any harm. [b]Good aren't they?[/b]

Dare I ask (as still in progress) were you pissed at the time, trying something new or simply required self handicapping
Originally posted by Dragon FireAh the invisible Hammerschlag! I see you stepped up from your grob opening. Nice work.

One warning, Don't let the Hammerschlag down.
Although you are not from our chess club, we will humilate you if you lose using it! Don't think the several thousands km separating us protects you from the humilation. Because it doesn't and rememeber, this game is Public 🙂

Originally posted by Dragon Firewell 4...c6 instead of 4...Bg4 might've changed the game quite a bit. And he dropped the knight with the move 13...Nxd5 where he should have played 13...Ne6. But your grob-style attack looks quite fun to say the least. 🙂
What about the Knight. Did he "drop" that too. Those were not dropped they were won with my brilliant Grob style attack.
Originally posted by MctaytoSome nameless idiot suggested in the forum that I try these 2 moves as they were better than the Grob so I took him at his word.

Although I did try a Grob hybrid!

Not everyone can pull it off you know.
Many have tried and failed. We still humilate them to this day.
Fair warning, lose with it and we will humilate you. Distance is not a factor.
Originally posted by pawntorook4Right now the discussion in one sided.
its in progress and the person is not taking the game seriously.. that should preclude any rule against discussion.. no one is complaining about the rahim-cms discussion
I have not posted in that thread since the game has began.
Brillant, I know.
