Hey Robbie. Nobody in his right mind would want my identity, so yeah, it's me. 🙂 I'm doing OK, still alive and kickin', the good Lord willin' and the creek don't rise. Dang these chess cheating threads, I can't always ignore them!
I hope you're doing OK? Have you joined one of those clubs yet? 🙂
plan to go along and check it out, hopefully i will get beat up and learn from my losses.
I may even try to grow a handlebar mustache so i can twist it while thinking of moves
and try to set the tone with some sharp cut suits 🙂

The post that was quoted here has been removedThe difference is not as great as all that - both cases refer to a poor artificial substitute for something the study of which in its natural state gives many men and quite a few women a great deal of pleasure.

Originally posted by kingshillYou mean fortunately this means of note-taking while the game is playing was banned a few years ago, surely?
When I was coaching young children the problem I found was that they used to move too quickly. if their opponent started moving quickly they would do likewise even if they had plenty of time and their opponent was in time trouble.
To combat this I taught them to.
1. Think of a move
2. Write it down.
3. PUT THE PENCIL DOWN and CHECK THE MOVE
4. ...[text shortened]... ears ago. I also think that hiding your scoresheet is now banned? (Not positive about this one)
Too many players pwerformed your routine like this:
1. Think
2. Write down the move
3. Put down pencil
4. Think of a better move (or even, spot opponent's reaction to written-down move and get a clue that it's bad)
5. Cross out move, write down another one
6. Repeat until satisfied that your paper analysis is correct
7. Only then make a move
That's not what the score sheet is for. You're not playing OTB chess that way, but short-term correspondence chess. And that is why it is now required to move first, write down afterwards.

The post that was quoted here has been removedAfter seeing Salome at the Citizens theatre in Glasgow, where Salome, an African girl
dressed in a wedding gown with Christmas tree lights attached made her entrance
while sand was thrown from a vantage point onto the stage area, some of it landing on
the audience, I believe Wilde would have approved of the interpretation given his
comment on unnatural vice. Had he been unfortunate enough to sit through the same
production, I would certainly acknowledge that he had some virtue, natural or
otherwise, despite his protestations to the contrary. 🙂
