The ratings are very inflated (by around 300-500 points I'd say). My high was over 2300 but I had over 20 games at once & didn't have home internet for a long stretch (over two months) so I resigned almost all of them.

I've got a real life tournament coming up this weekend, if I play any particularly good (or bad but instructive) games I'll post them.

[Carlhole]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('MD', 'T')o be fair, Narz sure put it to him like a 1900 player

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Carlhole', ' ')I should start going to the St. Pete Chess Club again so that I can get that raised-hackles feeling you only get when you're playing against another person.

Just won a decent sized tournament (29 players, 6 higher rated than me) with 4.5 out of 5.

I posted a couple of new videos based on a couple of my games.

Heh, looks like their slogan incorporates a sense of humor too!

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'P')erhaps the most impressive online store has been created by 5th PSYOP Battalion who have created their own custom products and images.

For those wanting something a bit more official looking, one online store has the patches for virtually every US PSYOP battalion.

In fact, CafePress seems to have a large number of PSYOP related merchandise although it's obviously a mixture of military memorabilia and civilian creations who just want to use PSYOP images for its hipster value.

On the more disturbing end of the scale, t-shirts with the slogan "PSYOP: Because Physical Wounds Heal" seem to be regularly featured on EBay.

Opening choices against a master Tactician

When faced with a master tactician one should try to avoid open positions, where simplistic strategies of centralisation, and tactical awareness predominate. Openings that tend to lead to 'quiet' positions are to be preferred against computers...

[Carlhole]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Outcast_Searcher', 'I')n the past 5 years or so, it's gotten so that even when strong human grandmasters play computers -- they either steer into quiet / theoretical types of positions, or generally get TROUNCED at some point by a strong tactical shot by the computer...

I've been over at the St. Pete Chess Club the last couple of playing days. I'm doing better than I thought I would against a couple of the better players over there. Put a nasty bite on one of them today in a tactical flourish, very quick game. Then played a very good blunderless game.

That's my big problem - dumbass blunders. It's from not playing people enough and playing too much computer chess (where I frequently take back my blunder moves). Bad habit.

Hey Narz, did you ever learn how to play blindfold chess? That's something I wish I could do.

Winboard has a feature for it in settings. I'm trying to play blindfold against "Chad's Chess", one of the weakest chess engines out there. Beginner level. But the main point is trying to visualize the changing board in my mind. they say that when you finally learn how to do it, it easy to play multiple games without even looking at the board. Seems incredible to me.

[Narz]

Never played a full game of blindfold chess, I can get to maybe move 8 or 9 at the most.
