SniperAuthor, please don't write any more posts. You're only making yourself look bad. If you don't play any more moves in a game, that game is lost (unless you agreed on an adjudication procedure).

Still the final position may have been drawn, and against a pretty strong corr. player! Why don't you focus on that instead?

And P.S. don't say again that people's behaviour on these Sniper threads reflect on their religious convictions and/or morals. Christians can behave badly too.

There was no time control agreed  - It was correspondence game of which you are a candidate World Champion?

My advice is you cancel your training for a while - pop in to your nearest Church and ask for some moral guidance - If I got up half way through a British Champ game whilst my opponent nipped to the loo to check his position on his Rybka via I Phone and handed the result in as 1-0 to me the admin team would not accept as both players had not signed the result- What you did requires a serious apology to me and the chess pub viewers.

You claimed I resigned twice when I did not - You are not worthy of my attention.

You are a disgrace to chess.


Refusing to play on = resigns in my book and am sure it does in most other peoples.

Methinks thou doth protest too much.


Why should they go to all that effort to play a game against the Sniper Author when he twice ran away from his game against me.

I have spoken to a lot of people about this game and nobody likes Blacks position. As for 7. Qb4 being ? Black is always fighting for the draw here.

Has to laugh at ChessPublishing describing Qb4 as an ! move - My analysis indicates it's a ? move - Time will tell - My Knowledge is not cheap and the Chess Pub People are getting duff info! - If you want the answer (I know you all want to see The Sniper fail - Its not going to - get ready to be convereted) I need something in return.

I officially Challenge Gawain Jones to a game on that variation - If I win or draw with The Sniper I get a free 2 Years subscription to all areas of their site!
      
He can have all of the Chess Pub Team to assist and I'l just play on my own with Rybka - so confident am I of the result.
            
That match would be a spectacle for the Chess Pub masses and you should pressurise the owners if you want it to happen,  then we could accurately gauge the awesome Power of The Sniper rather than the 2nd class opinions that predominate at this site born from an over reliance on the subscribers faith in current engine assessments, rather than factoring in human weakness in the engine programming - No doubt this will be edited and deleted like my other comments - I think Chess Pub see my Sniper Monthly Update site as serious competition?  if this happens then the game is off and you can all go back to being bored and praying for The Sniper Cheif to return so that you can be given your emotional high.

The Sniper is the most important opening theoretical development in decades and we all know it and EVERYBODY is affected by it.

Dang, this is just adding insult to injury. 

Will TWIC pick this up now, or do we need to email this to Mark Crowther?

More importantly what impact will this small setback have on book sales. Undecided

Stay tuned to this channel as the continuing saga unfolds.

One Sniper-ish line that seems to score well is 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 g6 3.c4 Bg7 4.d4 Qb6!? Black gets Maroczy type positions with the queen out on c5 early, but White often seems less well-prepared for this than the standard Marozy.

I wonder if this line is covered in any recent books published by Everyman...  Wink

I was sort of asking the author as well, but yea he hasn't commented on this forum in a while so he must be unavailable for some reason.

He got annoyed by TN's edits, it seems, and has stopped posting.

@Arcticmonkey

To be honest I don't understand the point of 4...Qa5 at all. Just play 4...cd4 5.Nd4 Nc6 and book up on some Accelerated Dragon theory. Greet is a good place to start.


Damn, but im really lazy.

Oh well, you might be quite right and i'll have to learn some theory, but like, this line probably has more theory than the entire Sniper book! Sad And i'm also not a subscriber to the dragon's section! (yet). Anyway thanks, and if anyone has an answer to this problem tell me immediately

Thanks for replying Kylemeister and Bibs, But i sort of meant is there anyway to deviate from the Mainline (a tempo down) after; 1.e4 g6 2.Nf3 Bg7 3.d4 c5 4.Nc3 Qa5 5.Be2
Like, anything that isn't the a line of the dragon. I was sort of asking the author as well, but yea he hasn't commented on this forum in a while so he must be unavailable for some reason. Any ideas?

Does anyone know anything about Donaldson's criticisms?
Since, i actually want to try the sniper and hopefully win, but i don't want to play an accelerated a move down in what appears to be some sort of well known line. What do i do?


I would think the standard answer is to play an accelerated not a move down (but with no Maroczy of course).  It's not as though Black can expect to avoid all "normal stuff" by playing 1...g6, 2...Bg7 and 3...c5.
