Agreed! Its good to see that there are chess players left in the Chess Forum. [b]Unfortunately the grob in Fritzie speak does not get the bull off the ice. Whilst its proponents can hide behind the fact that they are winning against people ranked more than 200-400 points below them, they should play the grob against people closer to their rating and see. Or ...[text shortened]... n 2 hour match versus your engine playing the grob and let us see the result after 6 or 8 games.[/b]

In my case make it 99 ranked higher and 18034 ranked lower.
It is inevitable that the majority of games will be against lower ranked opponents.

Xanthos is well hidden away in the help forum only crawling out of his hole to help newbies and then hiding again. I might have to subscribe to catch him in a tournament.

z00t - blitz chess shows nothing except that you can win in blitz.
correspondence chess shows nothing except that you can win in correspondence chess.
Anyone else see a pattern here?

Originally posted by hammster21CC and classical time controls needs more understanding of chess than blitz. For blitz you first of all need ability to move fast and not make stupid mistakes. And understanding of chess is becoming important if both players have this skill developed equally.

correspondence chess shows nothing except that you can win in correspondence chess.

P.S. All of you could dicuss about it in threads about blitz.
P.P.S. If z00t wants to show how he is good in blitz, I can give him a chance and blitz with him in playchess 😀

Korch let others fight their own battles. I told you to pick an engine instead of 1500 players to boost your ego in grob games.
Actually I`m playing with "1500 players" by 2 reasons:
1) I need to play with them in tournament;
2) They are asking for a game (like ih8sens and demonseed did) and I`m not so arrogant to decline it due to their lower ranking.
Also i have played Grob against engine and I had no reasons to complain about opening results - when I lost , my mistakes were in other stages of the game.

Also I sense he is not the sort of person genuinely interested in helping others but rather just trying to knock them back.
It would be best to ignore him until he comes up with more constructive suggestions other than "You all play mickey mouse openings so I am better than you" type statements.
Grob, KGA, Morra Gambit all give good exciting chess plus I get good results so I enjoy them. Maybe next year I will work on something different but that will be when I am ready not z00t.

After all he is "z00t! z00t! Founder of the mickey mouse, rained on chicken and headless chicken clans. New subscribers needed. Xanthos need not apply as he has life membership. Coming soon! Grob Anonymous and Padding Anonymous clans. No complementaries, admission by ticket only"
When can we join?

BUT - I cant simply watch how one destructive person, who have problems with logic are making categoric claims about things he does not understand.

Another miniature - in which my opponent played really bad. 11...Bd6?? and 18...Bxa2?? was real blunders. But anyway - in opening white got advantage after 8...Qc7?!.
