I must say I don't know if it's theory, the sac may be busted since then. Even then I remember thinking the sacs looked maybe a bit too fantastic. The game did get quite some attention back in 1980, both for its beauty and for the fact that Chiburdanidze was still very young.

Yeah, I'll have to look at it a little deeper later. I know there are a lot of lines with the knight sac on d5, I just never seem to find them! Also, when I handed my game over to Shredder it gave no fewer than 5 ??'s. 4 from my opponent and 1 from me.

Fired let's say that you are not a master (remember that i told you I was a Fide player myself and i know better, nobody moves on from category D to play among and captaining fellows players of the category A just because,many candidate masters play in Fide category D to get his grades and rating points more easily, most of the ones who do this are the ones who love to win on cheapos, when somebody moves on to play category A and not only does so but does it successfuly is because he has moved on deeper matters and your clubs know that, that is the reason you are the captain....)

Note: UK Europe tournament play is not like in the US here you have to have a USCF rating from the very beginning there in europe you can play tournaments without having rating for as long as you want

And like i told you before when you don't watch your training method you are going to drop your KING in the last game i showed you dropped a piece right out of the opening and then missed a tactical variation completely at the end, so what is that you have been trying to convince me about, you know your training method based on tactics is wrong, master and all captain or not you keep dropping pieces like a category D player......................... the problem is that you switched your traning method to a tactics tactics tactis mind set, and now you are plying worse than when you were playing none Fide category A/D tournaments, now you don't know what to do because if you go back to play in category D Fide rated chances are you are going to find there the candidate masters that are better at tactics than you are, now you are not tactitian nor rounded chess player, you just confused, i will tell you a secrete again:

the problem is your training method, i used to play category A fide rated tournaments myself.....


here he is, he is a candidate master who plays at category D, you can check it for yourself

100% elimination of blunders is impossible - the goal is always to keep these to an absolute minimum.

As for that game in particular - this was my first rated game for 5 months (the longest break I'd had since I'd started playing). Yes, I played bad, and yes I made a lot of mistakes (more than 2!). So what? I'm a human, I do not claim to be perfect. I've played worse games than that one - and I've also played a lot better. If you're trying to prove I make mistakes then yes, you are completely right.

If you want to make up more lies about me, at least make them believable. My rating on the FIDE site only goes back 2 years. My rating on the ECF site goes back 2 years. Although you can't access my full history on the Scottish website as I am no longer a member, it's pretty easy to see I never appeared in a tournament before 3 years ago (it will be 3 years in October, to be precise). Unlike you, I don't have to hide. The information about me is out there for the world to see. Can you say the same?

"there in europe you can play tournaments without having rating for as long as you want"

This would only be possible if you played a few games in one country, then moved to the next before they could give you a rating. If you're implying this is what I've done then... well, you are quite clearly insane.

"the problem is your training method, i used to play category A fide rated tournaments myself....."

Prove it.

As far as I'm concerned, I'm progressing as well as can be expected. It's 4 months since I beat my first IM... I don't think I am quite stagnating yet.

Fired, pretty good progress in 3 years! Congrats, you obviously have some talent for the game
Did you play on-line or study Chess before playing OTB?

"the problem is your training method, i used to play category A fide rated tournaments myself....."

Prove it.

I won't give you my name, I am just going to tell you that this following master and me used to study together

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eleazar_Jim%C3%A9nez

Yes, I did play online. I had played a lot of games online before I started OTB but it was mostly blitz or bullet. I hadn't studied anything before I went along to a club.

DeepNf3, I am not sure what Paul Roberts has to do with this, and I'm not sure why you're claiming he plays like a class D player. Elaborate?

"I won't give you my name, I am just going to tell you than this following master and me used to study together"

I figured as much. Incidentally, I used to study with this guy -

I amputated the thread's gangrenous appendages. It would have been a shame to see a thriving thread drown in insult-slinging.

DeepNf3, twice you have requested that your messages be deleted. In the future you could do your part by showing restraint. If someone posts a message that upsets you, you have three options: (1) ignore it, (2) argue with it (but only with the message and never with the character of the person who posted the message, and (3) tell a moderator. In most cases one of the first two will be the best choice, but if you feel genuinely upset, don't hesitate to send a personal message to me or SachBinger. Try to refrain at all cost from commenting on the character of other members. If you want more information on posting guidelines, send me a message. You have indicated that you can make a valuable contribution to this forum; don't let a few petty arguments sour you on posting here.

TGC is right, let's get this thread back on topic by discussing more chess!
