Damenlaeuferbauer
Member since Oct-15-17
My name is Markus Jakobi, I am 57.5 years old and living in Wiesbaden, which is the capital of Hesse and a town 40 kilometres away from Frankfurt/Main in Germany. I am playing mail chess since I have been 14.5 years old (+30, =60, -18), but from 1982 until 2015 without computer assistance. My mail chess rating is Elo 2088 from 47 evaluations and my favourite chess players are Francois-André Danican Philidor (France), Wolfgang Uhlmann (Germany), Lev Polugaevsky (Russia), Robert James Fischer (USA), Anatoly Karpov (Russia), Stefan Kindermann (Austria/Germany), Thomas Bohn (Germany), Garry Kasparov (Russia), Stefan Meyer (Germany), Uwe Kettner (Germany), Zdenko Kozul (Croatia), Igor Khenkin (Russia/Germany), Dirk Emmerich (Germany), Vladimir Kramnik (Russia), and Elisabeth Paehtz (Germany). I consider Garry Kasparov, Robert James Fischer, Anatoly Karpov, and Francois-André Danican Philidor as the four strongest chess players in history. My favourite openings with white are the English, King's Indian, Volga-Benko Gambit, Queen's Gambit Declined, Modern Defense, Semi-Slav, Queen's Indian, Nimzo Indian, Chigorin, Dutch, Queen's Gambit Accepted, French, Ruy Lopez, Black Knight's Tango, Bogo Indian, Grunfeld, and Modern Benoni, and my favourite openings with black are the Sicilian, French, Semi-Slav, Nimzo Indian, Volga-Benko Gambit, Queen's Indian, Caro-Kann, King's Indian, Giuoco Piano, King's Indian Attack, Queen's Gambit Accepted, Blackmar-Diemer Gambit, Four Knights, English, Ruy Lopez, Van Geet Opening, and Modern Benoni.

Damenlaeuferbauer: <perfidious>: <Wow so a guy who openly admits that he was bullied and was close to a mental breakdown complete with ideation is now getting sued by a man who did that to him in the first place?> <While a great player, Kramnik is one pathetic human being and ...
 
   Jun-20-25 C Yoo vs Niemann, 2020
 
Damenlaeuferbauer: Only my friend Hans Moke Niemann, the GOAT (Greatest Player of All Times), can play games like this with 100 % accurancy, when he has good vibes. All black moves, especially 19.-,Kb7, are very obvious, if not simple, in an over-the-board game. Learn from the legends!

   May-14-25 Marie-Ange Moustache (replies)
 
Damenlaeuferbauer: There are rumors, that the 14th undisputed chess world champion Vladimir Kramnik and the GOAT (Greatest Player of All Times) Hans Moke Niemann invited her to their training camp, because both admire her deep opening preparation.
