MrPatzer: <"I object to being called a chess genius, because I consider myself to be an all around genius who just happens to play chess, which is rather different. A piece of garbage like Kasparov might be called a chess genius, but he is like an idiot savant. Outside of chess he knows ... |

Jul-30-07 The World vs G Timmerman, 2007 
|
MrPatzer: I've spent the last four weeks doing computer analysis on e4 and d4. The result? They're both really bad moves, no way to win with either. What are we gonna do now???? |

MrPatzer: That's usually how it goes, isn't it? These openings are hardly ever named after the first person to play them. |
