I love how all the new members (joining within a month or less) always try to cause dissension in the ranks.
They always know exactly how to post immediately too. It makes you wonder.

Originally posted by RagwortReally? I thought I was unique. I do think that describing me as a mathematician might be a little strong though, I doubt most real mathematicians would agree. I use mathematics on a daily basis but don't make new mathematics. Applied mathematician? Applier of mathematics? Geologist or geophyicist or earth scientist would be closer to the truth. I am paid to look at rocks and work out what they tell us about conditions in the past.
Yes, these online chess sites seem littered with mathematicians who play the modern defence...
My black opening choice goes through phases. Currently I can't be assed to fiddle with the theory in defences against all the moves white can make so I play g6. From there I can go to a Kings Indian or Pirc or Sicilian if I feel so inclined. Or I could just stick with the modern and hope my opponent doesn't know what he is doing.
Fancy making some inferences from my choice of white opening or the colour of my socks? Grey today, by the way.
