I was in chess club back in my heyday.

do you still play?

I only play bullet and Blitz on Chess.com

I was actually wondering how many people play here last week and thought if a bracket could be made.

I'd be in if people can handle my general slow play and all around not very good-ness.
 
White or Black?
I always favored the "like water" approach playing black, i.e. use white's aggression against it, but I think that's mainly because I'm vulnerable when playing white for that very reason--playing the aggressor usually causes me to over-extend and do something disastrous.
 
Didn't a whole bunch of your cohorts get banned because the WR was "too hostile" towards them so they created a secret PM group so their feelings wouldn't be hurt?

I mean, projection much?
Projection? Huh? lol

I don't know about what you are speaking of. I can handle immature weirdos who don't act like men. Literally doesn't bother me, and just proves some of the things I talk about. I'm fine with feminine/internet hostility.
 
Holy shit. That would be hilarious for me to try.

Once you memorize openings it becomes 2nd nature.

There was this one dude I played with. Brilliant player, state blitz champ. Anyway, he would take 1 min, and I would have 5 min.

He would still beat me. He was that good

Not much , starting to play with my son though , he'll be crushing me soon , the little man sees the board really well and can plan farther ahead than I ever could .
 
I was the grade 4 chess champion , look out Magnus Carlson .

Goddamn, what riot catching up on this thread.

It made me wonder, have Mr. 93rd Percentile and Mr. I Know More Things About the World Than Anyone I Know (aka, @TheComebackKid ) ever locked horns?

I'm assuming no since we're all still alive and posting. But holy shit, what a spectacle that would be. IQ points would irradiate from that showdown. We'd all be getting smarter just by reading that exchange.

I don’t think I’ve ever played a timed game at all. Maybe years ago online. The only time I play is my dad sends games through iMessage. We could take a week to finish a game though since I’m not always checking messages.
