Not true, I deleted a few of both, but one of your most recent posts was the worst (in terms of insults) I have seen for a while. I don't really have time to moderate this board, so please, if everyone could show some self restraint? Thanks

Hi,i think this will be great for me.Qd2, with idea 5 b3, 6 Bb2, 7 0-0-0
controlling the board

Very funny! I think there are enough chickens left in your posts, MNb, to feed a herd of elephants, three schools of orphans, and five pigs for a year.

Mmm... MNb has delicious chickens!

Hey, GM Kosten,

I'm curious as to your logic. As Mr. Spock would say, fascinating. You deleted some of my comments, but not that of MNb? What gives?

I have edited a few of the nastier comments from some of these posts, and if necessary I will start editing some of the 'posters' too!

Göring himself invariably played 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.d4 exd4 4.c3 dxc3 5.Bc4 and not 5.Nxc3.
The move 4.Nxc3 first has been played at the first American Chess Congress by Meek against Morphy in the early 50's of the 19th century. Later it became Alekhine's choice. I am rather proud to be a chicken like this WCh.

No need to be sorry, it's my own choice. The parents of the kids here around cannot afford to pay me for chess lessons and certainly not in US-dollars. I earn enough to have a decent life, but cannot afford luxury like playing you at ICC or subscribing at Chesspub. I would not say these are the most important goals of my life.

No, but possibly in the near future (later this year). I will let you know. That will solve the telephone bill problem. But my two other conditions remain.

Yep, no matter how often you play the BDG against Kramnik, you suffer from siliconphobia. And phobia means fear. You are afraid, trembling from fear only by reading the c-word.

Sorry if my writing is a bit confusing, English is not my first language. Still, I repeat, you understood the ICCF time controls very well.

So long, annoying, funny, siliconphobian, long time control averse yellow chicken with a pighead! (I am pretty sure you're going to win this contest, but I am very curious how you are going to expand this.)

Sacrificing a pawn with a move such as 2.e4 is not la lachete, but instead sciocco, unless your opponent is rated under 2300, of course...

Hmm... Okay, thanks for the clarification, SWJediKnight! See, I always thought that 5 Bc4 cxb2 6 Bxb2 was the Danish Gambit! At least that is what the chess books I have say.
