Why are so many strange persons drawn to chess?
Edit: personally it was only about a week ago, I had to explain that that's just how it works 😀

Originally posted by MarsIII'm not asking if you would analyze your earlier moves during a tournament game. I'm asking if you would ask someone else to do it.
No, just the time it would take to analyze the board, if it was at 3+ hours a side and I was actually in a tournament, I can't see what'd stop me from analyzing the earlier game.

Originally posted by MarsIIHow can you feel good about winning this game if you have to ask 10,000 people for help in a game, on this forum? I wouldnt. I dont think its fair to your opponent and besides it makes him(or her) feel great to see you ask for help. Gives the opponent a psychological advantage. Good luck.
I don't want to know what to do, just if I can get out of it.

Originally posted by MarsIII play almost all of my otb games against my grandfather, who insists upon always playing with the black pieces. We draw for going first. Makes the notation a bit strange when he wins the draws, but otherwise it isn't much of a problem. What's more of an issue is when I play otb with the black pieces against someone else--I'm forever grabbing the f pawn, thinking it's the c. 😳
