****!

Hey watch it!

*I'M* supposed to be "the king of the single entendre" around here...

To me, the opening in chess is like the starting gate in a horse race: I
want a two-length lead every time.

hehe as someone who has raised race horses, you have your analogies
incorrect. When a horse breaks out of the gate it rarely means anything
unless they really stumble.

As someone who handicaps horse races, gate speed is extremely important.
Much more so in chess because, unlike horse racing, the player in front is
stronger and has more options, plus an easier game.

Often a horse will kill itself in beginning
and lose stamina.

In chess, the opposite happens.

Every jockey will tell you that horses that win have
the stamina in the backstreach (ie endgame).

That's the homestretch.


rarely do you see a horse that is leading in the beginning of the race be
the winner at the end.

Actually that is not true: the American racing game is biased towards speed.
Of course, if you pit one speed horse against seven behind him and he wins
"only" 25 perent of the time, that doesn't sound like a lot, but it's one
against seven.


To sum up a chess/horseracing analogy.

Openings / starting gate

- as long as you dont stumble your fine.

The stronger you are in the opening, the more likely your opponent will
stumble.

If you play 1. g3 and I play 1. g6, I haven't "punished" your opening. If
you play 1. g3 and I play 1. e5, I have. Same thing if you play 2. Bg2 and
I play 2...d5. I know I'm equal because Black is not supposed to get a big
center.

Middlegame / most of the race

Where it is won more often than not. The opening sets up the middlegame.
What you call the middlegame, however, I usually call the opening because
I'm booked out past move 20 in most lines now.

- positioning is everything, don't run out of stamina

Endgame / backstretch

- this is where the race is won

That's the homestretch.

Let's see: if I play "classical" chess I get to test my openings once
every six hours. At bullet chess, I get to test it 30 times an hour.
Which do you think will give me a stronger opening?

I disagree, ... we have different opinions and there is no sense
continuing exposing them.

Difference of opinion and all that. In my book I acknowledge that it's
easier to get to 2400 by studying endgames, but it's easier to get to 2800
by studying openings.



I prefer to train with the supercomputers because they plug any leaks in
my game. I find when I play humans, they don't put up sufficient
resistance to tell me if I'm really playing well or not when I win.

I disagree, ... we have different opinions and there is no sense
continuing exposing them.

Then stop anytime you want.


I don't belong in the game if I don't believe I'm the best. I train as
if I have the talent to become a world champion and designed my training
method to convert that talent into actual playing ability. It is a slow,
painful process littered with errors along the way. I can definitely see
why most players believe it is impossible to accomplish, but I don't let
that (or my age) deter me.

Good luck!

If only chess were luck.

I am not an amateur. Don't let those ELO numbers fool you. If someone is
rated under 2000 it means they could be up to 2400 in playing strength and
too lazy or frugal to bother to get the rating. Once you can score an IM
or
GM norm, it pays to give up the class eligibility.

Enough verbal masturbation I say. Let's take this fight outside! I would bet
hard cash that Antonio will wipe the floor with Ray + his computer in a
correspondence match played with 10/40 time controls (10 moves in 40 days)
to be played here on rec.games.chess.analysis. I'll bet Antonio will even
give Ray the white pieces. Come on Ray, give Antonio a lesson on all your
Super GM moves. It would be instructional for all of us.

Mr. Parker, you say you're a seduction guru, but you can't produce a
picture of yourself standing next to a woman.

I'm not a picture guru. Guys look to get laid, not have their picture taken
with hot chicks. Chicks also tend to value privacy.


Read: "One doesn't exist because I've never been next to a woman, let a lone
seduce one."

perhaps i should have read my late at nite article, yes its called the
homestretch, but other than that, your horse race analogy is completely
wrong.

the 'racing game' is based on speed, but the lead in the beginning rarely
has anything to do with this. What you are refering to is the 'beyer'
rating. This rating sometimes applies quite well, but this often depends
on several factors (track conditioning, trainer, jockey etc...) anyone
who picks a pure 'speed' horse without looking at several factors is
going to lose money.

I still stand by my statement that those horses that break out of the
gate in the lead rarely win the race. The only time this is critical is
on the outside two post positions where the horses have to get in a good
position.

all i am really getting at is that your analogy doesnt hold up. I
personally spend some time studying the opening via computers (both fritz
8 and CM 10k) and do believe the opening is very important. I go over
every slow game i play with these programs (especially fritz) to see
where I went wrong and how I should play next time in the openings. I do
this almost immediately after each game (standard) I play. The only
thing I would disagree with is the opening is where people should spend most of
the focus.

The thing he fails to point out is that if he really seduced a woman she
would be happy to have a photo taken of her with him... nothing nude or
engaging in sex, just with his arm around her and her obviously enjoying it.

But since I truly do not believe, based on his posts to this newsgroup, that
he's ever had sex, in person, body to body, with a real live woman I do not
at all find it unusual for him to consistently use the same excuse as above
to justify his lack of success.
