Quote: As I once said, and now I say it again!!!
The King's Gambit would be more popular and "solid" opening if we would have a good and quality website. Mr. Johansson has bad site with a lot popups, funny colours and comercial adds. What would you think as a potential buyer and a player when you see something like this? Either it's some underground murky and bad water, or some bad and dark site. Just think! When you have bad site, you have bad reputation (like Eric Schiller fro US who is an "expert" for gambits), and bad reputation leads to disaster. "The Fascinating King's Gambit" would be definetely more popular and the sceptics would be also happy!
BY IGNORING THIS FACTS WE HARM OURSELVES!!!
Well, the site's been there for at least 6 years and the fact is that so far, you're the only one who's complained and twice too.
True, pop ups have increased there the last couple of years but nowadays there's built in anti-pop-up programs in most browsers - or add ons available for download. And backgrounds etc can be eliminated in your own browser's option tabs, or you could just choose not to watch the site...
Personally, I can't imagine there's any chessplayer in the universe who judge an opening depending on the look of a web page!
Anyway, I think you should be aware that using capital letters in textmessages is
very bad netiquette and considered
yelling - usually a good way of either irritating people or making them ignore you!
You see, you can't please everyone, so you got to please yourself.
