You really do speak just to hear yourself speak, don't you?

No... why would I do that?

And stop being so critical. Your superciliousness is not very well warranted in this situation, or any other for that matter.

Furthermore.......hehe, she/he/it (sorry I don't know your gender Mercedes Benzene - great name by the way) is not speaking but typing.

Therefore "speaking" to be heard its really a moot point

Re: Chess skill

I had the chance to meet one of the top chessmen just recently.
Guess what he said to me when I asked him.

He takes hours to study his next opponent (records of matches) then figures out the playing tactic!

He told me to be spontaneous and new every time.

Re: Chess skill

I love playing chess, althought I could not play with a timer. The only strategy I ever really use is quite simple. Never go on the defensive. Even when it seems all is lost, the only objective is to capture the king. All else is expendible.
