I forgot I had this turned on a long long time ago (that was when I was getting spam every other day).<br /><br />I've not pulled my chain off chess totally yet. Just that life has beset with me more things and something had to give and unfortunately it was chess.<br /><br />I'm still reading chess off and on, publications etc. etc. but nothing serious. I realise that this long layoff from chess is doing me a bit of harm in terms of my chess ratings (although I somehow still managed to upped my rapid rating to 1800++ this year).<br /><br />I've not played a normal classical game for a long time. Other sports have also filled the rest of my time. This includes playing computer games and spending more time with the family.<br /><br />I'm not sure when I will and do get back to chess. It's just that the competitions are starting to become inconvenient and runs afoul with my work schedule.<br /><br />I do turn up for games but am not as avid as before in terms of following chess.<br /><br />It's definitely great to hear from you again, dk.<br /><br />Pls take care and cheers.tanchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10248501580728956514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8084619245099614590.post-42148927741587667682012-12-11T09:30:17.824+11:002012-12-11T09:30:17.824+11:00This comment has been removed by the author.tanchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10248501580728956514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8084619245099614590.post-47880331302517662992012-12-10T21:23:45.382+11:002012-12-10T21:23:45.382+11:00this commment moderation filter is a disaster. i ...this commment moderation filter is a disaster. i got rid of mine. you can moderate comments, without going this far. you can research this. i wondered why i got so few comments. this filter is a killer.transformationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10834788878068428887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8084619245099614590.post-90294147753398159182012-12-10T21:22:33.996+11:002012-12-10T21:22:33.996+11:00i have not, nor have ever forgotten you. life jus...i have not, nor have ever forgotten you. life just changes, we adapt. i just did the full CT-Art 3.0 cycle. i had gotten stuck at problem levels 600 to 825 before, in three or so attempts. this time, i said to myself: 'i will do all 1,209 problems this time'. believe me, it was not for lack of effort previously.<br /><br />i respectfully ask you, not to pull your chain. but i read this post. i see what it means. i see what you are saying. i do maybe three or four things, max, but i do them 100%. i play three or four openings max, slav, torre, caro, thats it, no more. this does not mean i do not have a massive repertoire, i do. all the moves to all the moves, and when not that, a sense of where the pieces go.<br /><br />can you pick two or three, and say, 'half a year, two years, whatever. this is what i do'.<br /><br />i went to college in new york. i cannot tell you how many very erudite libraries i saw, in apartments, all the nietzsch, goethe, heideggar, jung, merlieu ponty, claud levi-straus, camus, proust. but the more books they had, the great was my certainty that not only had few of them, but none.<br /><br />pick five classics, read them. god forbid, read the right five, but you will get it.<br /><br />as Maharish Mahayeshi Yogi said, 'You eat the seeds of Vagra, you eat the seeds of your own sorrow'. you metabolize what you have. then it is yours. claim it. but make up your kind, kind sir.transformationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10834788878068428887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8084619245099614590.post-61454078523843179672012-09-05T09:08:11.909+10:002012-09-05T09:08:11.909+10:00Thanks RockyRook! :)

I did indeed played too quickly. That's because I was calculating a variation that was long but still preserved the advantage when I did the Knight incursion into Black's position and played it.<br /><br />I saw e6 as soon as I moved my pawn. Curses!<br /><br />You are spot on about me not being able to see the potential changes in the position.

Qxg3 is an...Last one must be Qxg4 instead of ...3. <br />Qxg3 is an illegal move. :-)<br /><br />I guess this has much to do with boardvision and the abillity to play blindfold chess. If you cannot see what changes in a position when you are calculating its hard to see such combinations since you are not aware of where the pieces stand hence you have no clue on how to attack them.<br /><br />Secondly in your first diagram where you missed the by me easy spotted e6+ I think you played to quickly. The saying "If you see a good move, dont play it immediatly, sit on your hands and look for a better one" you didn't do.From the patzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04499383398575774704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8084619245099614590.post-6174217784428325252011-09-09T08:56:00.489+10:002011-09-09T08:56:00.489+10:00Hello nigam_23,
