| | fredthebear: Maroczy vs Steinitz, 1898 Vienna (1898) Thirty-six games!?
<It was forbidden to analyze adjourned games.> Did they use volunteer monitorz to spy on the honest playerz, disable their expense account, enforce the ignore list/sarc? Could you imagine a modern-day player not being able to look at one's cell phone for much of two summer months while the game remained incomplete during adjournment?? How could one afford to stay and play for 36 games? Perhaps it was quite a vacation! An unusual but active defense in this game, resembling some aspects of Philidor's Defense to 2.Nf3. The Stockfish notes didn't like castling as played on the 7th ply for either color? Gotta watch that a7-g1 diagonal in the King's Gambit. The Black she-monster trolls the dark squares in this game, leaving such colour but once. In the final position shown, the pending recapture 39.hxBg3 is easily met by the safeguarding 39...Bd5 threatening a battery mate by Her Majesty. # # #
Let's go back in time. Keep an eye out for those Italian anarchists... "...The natural destiny of a Queen is to give an heir to the throne. If the Queen is so fortunate as to provide the State with a Crown Prince this should be the end of her ambition–she should by no means meddle with the government of an Empire, the care of which is not a task for women... If the Queen bears no sons, she is merely a foreigner in the State, and a very dangerous foreigner, too. For as she can never hope to be looked on kindly here, and must always expect to be sent back whence she came, so will she always seek to win the King by other than natural means; she will struggle for position and power by intrigue and the sowing of discord, to the mischief of the King, the nation, and the Empire...[9]" Elisabeth referred to herself as "Titania, William Shakespeare's Fairy Queen. Her poem: <O'er thee, like thine own sea birds I'll circle without rest
For me earth holds no corner
To build a lasting nest.>
Who was Fischer of Munich?
German Emperor Wilhelm II?

| | fredthebear: More triple posted mass kissing barf to continue gaining favoritism to break the guidelines repeatedly, and yet another blatant, never-ending attempt at silencing the righteous. It just goes on and on and on. Members have to put up with years of this nonsense because CGs doesn't enforce it's own guidelines.
Is FTB supposed to tolerate such obvious garbage? It's typical of biased trolls and editors to believe that they and only they are entitled to voice their one-sided opinions but the rest of us who tell the truth are supposed to remain silent or get deleted and suspended. It's a shallow, unethical person that doesn't care to hear the truth. Freedom of speech is a two-way street, like it or not. Want respect? Then do your duty in a fair, consistent and timely fashion. Stop catering to uncoupled trolls and cyberbullies who are on this website only because they're allowed to attack paying members non-stop. That's the only game that matters for them -- enjoyment of pestering others. Stop targeting paying members who prop up chess here. |

| | fredthebear: "Lightning strikes the Earth more than 4 million times a day," said Maher Dayeh, a research scientist at the Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio. |
|
Nov-10-23
 | | Troller: In Denmark there used to be a rule-of-thumb that lightning would on average strike 1 time per year per square kilometer. However, with more advanced measuring this has proven to be too high; but the variance is huge and mostly related to june-august. Probably oceans have more stable weather. (if 1/year/sq kilometer was applicable to all of Earth it would mean 510 million strikes per year) I played my first rated game of the season last week as White! 1.e4 d5 2.exd5 Qxd5 3.Nc3 Qa5 4.b4?! and I struggled for compensation until he committed an oversight on move 15 and a blunder two moves after. This development I often have when I am huge favourite and try to outwit the opponent right out of the opening... |
|
Nov-13-23
| | fredthebear: 4.b4?! is known as the Leonhardt Gambit.
Here's a Queen trap: 1.e4 d5 2.exd5 Qxd5 3.Nc3 Qa5 4.b4?! Qxb4 5.Nb5 (5.Rb1 is also common) Qa5 6.Bc4 a6 7.Bxf7+ KxBf7 8.Qh5+ g6 9.Nd6+ cxNd6 10.QxQa5 |
|
Nov-13-23
| | Troller: Nice Q trap. I think 5.Rb1 is the main move but I played 5.a4 in my game. This makes it difficult for Black to ever get to castle although probably Rb1 is objectively stronger. Sometimes it transposes I guess. If I play him again as White I will go 1.d4 I think. |
|
Nov-13-23
| | fredthebear: White gets easy development against the Scandinavian defense while Black has a slow start and limited prospects of a counterattack. I would probably stick with 1.e4 until my opponent shows s/he can find the way to victory. |
|
Nov-14-23
| | fredthebear: These 2700+ young guns will drive your spell checker crazy: Nodirbek Abdusattorov, Dommaraju Gukesh, Erigaisi Arjun, Vincent Keymer, and Rameshbabu Praggnanandhaa. Oops, Alireza Firouzja is just twenty years old. |
|
Nov-14-23
| | fredthebear: BTW, Alterman’s Gambit Guide refers to 4.b4?! in the B01 Scandinavian Defense as the Kotrc-Mieses Gambit. Here's OE: Opening Explorer |
|
Nov-14-23
| | Troller: Thanks for this. Maybe I should look a bit more into the "theory" of this gambit! Now this:
<1.e4 c5 2.d4 d6? 3.dxc5 Qa5+ 4.Nc3 Qxc5 5.Be3 Qa5 6.Bb5+ Bd7 7.Qd5 Nc6? 8.Bxc6 1-0> This I played yesterday night, must be the shortest league game I have ever played. He had realized 7..Nc6 blundered a piece but forgot it again whilst looking at unattractive alternatives. The only move where I spent more than a minute was 6.Bb5 where 7.Qd5 was my first (and probably stronger) choice. Of course then I would not have won as quickly! |
|
Nov-15-23
| | fredthebear: Nice grab! Rather Center Counter like except for the advance of the White queen. I always thought cxd4 was mandatory for Black in the Sicilian defense. |

Nov-16-23
| | fredthebear: A Tomic vs I Schitco, 2023 This game starts off like the London System, but then looks like a Barry Attack featuring Nf3 and Nc3. White goes his own way with each knight, so call it what you wish. Why does White move the king's knight three times to promptly trade it off? There are no other examples of this move order in the database. Stockfish says after 8.NxNd7 BxN that White would still have an edge with 9.h5 despite trailing in development. Here are two examples of the Barry Attack with kingside attacks from the Ne5 position: h-file battery: P Laurent-Paoli vs P Pinho, 2020 Black plays an early Ng4: M Njoroge vs Ibrahim Alwahsh, 2022 More on the Barry Attack: https://britishchessnews.com/2023/0... The Jobava London System features Nc3 but holds back the king's knight, preferring a pawn on f3 instead: https://en.chessbase.com/post/jobav... It's better than eating giant fish eyes that squish. Well, for most people. |
|
Nov-16-23
| | Troller: I have seen such attacks before but I never heard of the <Barry Attack>. The whole d4+Nc3 setup I usually refer to as <Veresov> although I am not familiar at all with the details of this stuff. I know Jobava employs something like this regularly and from your link I gather he often combines this with the f3+e4 plan. As for me, I instinctively refrain from putting my knight on c3, blocking the c-pawn. I do play the Trompowsky though and giving away the Bishop pair is probably no worse than blocking the c-pawn. Another programmatic attacking line in mainstream 1.d4 d5 is: 1.d4 d5 2.c4 e6 3.Nf3 Nf6 4.Bg5 Be7 5.Nc3 0-0 6.e3 Ndb7 7.Bd3 h6 8.h4 
click for larger viewUnfortunately Black does not have to take the piece which is often the problem with these h-pawn sequences. But it can throw off an inexperienced opponent from my experience. I usually tell young players to go ..h6 before castling to avoid such positions, this is normally also what the GMs do. |
|
Nov-16-23
| | fredthebear: Looks like a fishin' pole attack. Qe2/Qc2 and White castles long above?! The Barry Attack had some popularity in the 1990s as an alternative to the Torre Attack: Game Collection: A Killer Chess Opening Repertoire
A bit slow, Black sees it coming; it's a question of warding it off. The Colle System, etc. was recommended 1.d4 d5, and the Barry Attack against the Bg7 fianchetto defenses. Chessgames refers to such as Indian Defense games, with no mention of "Barry" unless Black was in the Gruenfeld defense, as I recall. |

Nov-22-23
| | fredthebear: Finally, some activity about the rules in the CGs forum. There's the way the system is supposed to work, and the way it ACTUALLY works -- worlds apart. fredthebear: <Nov-22-23 Susan Freeman: ,MrMelad> You are correct in saying the posting guidelines are the same in all forums.> This is absolutely NOT TRUE. editor perfidious doesn't even follow the posting guidelines. perfidious is full of hate and rages away on a daily basis while my personal forum was restricted from the get-go when opened this spring. <I would like to explain a simple point. If somethings is posted and delted on another forum, copying and pasting it on any other forum will be deleted too.> This is also NOT TRUE. My complaint was quickly deleted the other day, while Rdb and perfidious copied my post to repost it with their own commentary, which was allowed to stand. Hell, Rdb posts whatever con desired FOUR times -- a clear violation. Yes, the Chessgames double standard in action. FTB was deleted, while the problem posters got to keep theirs. So UNFAIR. Who can count how many times this has happened to FTB? Hundreds if not thousands of times it's happened. My posts and my account have been constantly abused by CG moderators. Yet my harassers are allowed to say any damn thing they want and it STANDS for ages. It's a pile of CRAP and the filthy evidence is ALL OVER the forums to proove it. Nov-22-23 fredthebear: collateral interference is also @#$%*&!#.
I've had many respectable CHESS posts get deleted just because Z free stone me wanted to poke the bear. perfidious can't proove my post wrong, but the narcissist insults me personally -- providing no good chess information -- AND MY CHESS post gets deleted when I was the first to post on the page!!! You're not speaking the truth Susan!! I've lived this non-sense for years. Some of your editors are the worst abusers on these pages, and in recent years truth tellers are getting hit on by the tech department as well. I refuse to give in when I've paid good money to use these pages fair and square. I've got more information to share, but I'm not doing it in this forum and you've become almost unreachable since September without the message being deterred by the IT department. Keep it real.
Nov-22-23 fredthebear: I've been suspended for days for a ONE sentence post that had no names, no profanity, but was deleted just because FTB wrote it. Nobody else posting that message would have been suspended and it would have stayed in place.
YOU supposedly responded by saying the suspension was NOT for the deleted post!! That jive makes no sense. Did you really say that Susan, or was that more interference from your IT department pretending to be you?? |
|
Nov-22-23
| | fredthebear: Here's my cyberstalker your editor taking a shot at "fredthebore" in his personal forum as I'm posting. <Nov-22-23 perfidious: That most crashing <bore> has returned from yet another 'break' to launch still another campaign of calumny.
Not here,though.>
CGs should have dealt with this bully years ago -- guidelines should have been applied to editors. !! |

| | fredthebear: Chessgames is allowing the troll disaster stone free or die to troll members non-stop again. Management just doesn't get it. Do THEY Think WE members WILL REMAIN SILENT and let that PUNK trash us?? The HELL we will. Nov-30-23 fredthebear: Why do you let stone free or die attack members in these forums <nonstop> and then you delete the posts of members defending themselves??
Your double standard on fairness is complete crap!! Nov-30-23 fredthebear: Here's your finger pointing troll, always feigning innocence, advocating violence himself: <<Nov-29-23 stone free or die: The <Electoral College> can protect 'em for just so long, then we're coming after 'em! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLv...
.Nov-29-23 stone free or die: <saff> hell yes! One of my favorite lyrics ever - <Tire tracks all across your back, I can see you, ha, had your fun>> sfod's brand of violence is A-OK but he's trying to remove other members?? sfod needs to shut up and leave other members alone. % |

| Nov-30-23 | | stone free or die: Fred's on a tear - posted about 30+ posts today, not counting multiple posts on the same forum. I would like to take credit for half of those! |
|

| | fredthebear: A ludicrous notion. A shmuck troll will never get credit for my posts. That weirdo craves negative attention in the worst way. Freek should go to the pound and adopt a poodle for luv and attention. |

fredthebear: No surprise, the backstabber perfidious came back later to post his usual personal nastiness after FTB left the website earlier today, a common ploy to avoid being put in his place. My response will be found elsewhere.Dec-04-23
fredthebear: And screw you MONITOR for deleting my Hans Niemann post above. You allow your two orifices to insult FTB --- direct insults still remaining, THATs OK with you MONITOR -- but you delete my creative, humorous Hans Neimann post. FTB is hardly banal. If you're too grumpy to laugh or too lazy to open the link that tied in, then the very least you could have done is deleted the brainless SCAT above. Get a funny bone! Get a sense of fairness! Stop covering for creeps. It's the Chessgames DOUBLE DOUBLE Standard in action AGAIN. |

fredthebear: Very inappropriate comment.

Premium Chessgames Member perfidious: <fredthepuke: Very inappropriate comment.>
More o' that there pro-jek-shun!!!
Having trouble spelling it? Here, let me help:
<Any accusations made by <fredthejackal>> Apr-11-23
Premium Chessgames Member fredthebear: There's another name to add to the recent list: The cyberstalker perv who follows FTB all about was quick to show and take up the insult of his lap dog. They're a well-known tandem of troublemakers not much interested in chess itself. They get their jollies off attacking others.
So you don't believe FTB? Here's some derogatory names that editor perhidious has cast out today (and everyday). You won't see stoned crying about it either: <fredthecuck's
<fredthehump....
whatever his massa wished.> RACIST
Moron
this scum/scumbag
Airhead
<Dumbass and Dumbasser> the blind squirrel
<fredthefrontrunner> <fredthejackal> <fredthestalker> <fredthepuke
If this isn't cyberbullying, then tell me what is? CGs should have pulled their head out of their hole years ago and took this narcissist down. Also know that <stone free or die> and <Z free or die> are one and the same operator. This poster has long used alternative accounts to troll members with numerous posts using different identities. See guideline violation 7. The Z operator's favorite insult today is <a urine-drinker anti-vaxer>. The TRUTH shall set you free! |

fredthebear: The mean spirited cyberbully <perfidious> is complaining about other posters mentioning a name??? ??? ??? ???
perfidious says the nastiest things, gets away with practically all of it, a man full of hatred and anger and filth. But now bad ass <perfidious is here crying like his troll pal>?? ?? ??C'mon perfidious!! Suck it up buttercup. You're way out of character. You can't be a crybaby and a cyberbully! Shall we have a links contest? Maybe something like this just to start: Kenneth Rogoff (kibitz #18714) That's just a tiny tip of the mountain range of all the mean, nasty, filthy things our editor has said and gotten away with. Oh, there's more nastiness on that same link page that missed my short list: Apr-11-23
perfidious: <fredthewanker....it's not> etc. Apr-11-23
perfidious: <fredthereprobate: Besides,> etc. <#heartlandscumowned> It's perfectly crystal clear who the real scumbag is. The CGs pretend MONITORS should be entirely ashamed of themselves as well for allowing this crap to go on and on and on and never bothering to clean it up. It's a damn lie to suggest that Fredthebear is the problem here about. Oh, hurry let's delete the actual written proof that Fredthebear has provided once again for the umpteenth time!! We'll keep the litter from the other posters, but we gotta get rid of FTB's evidence RIGHT NOW. The tech department should NOT be content monitors. They need to focus on repairs. They need to leave my account alone and go wipe perfidious' forum clean. Hire a real monitor with some moral values.
Whistle blowing is just another pretend CGs scam!! It's not taken seriously at all. The standards here are quite low. Look at what the cyberbully gets away with day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year, decade after decade. His misbehavior sets the embattled tone for the entire website; others copy his lead. And you wag your finger at fredthebear. You're a hypocrite's hypocrite. |

| Dec-05-23 | | stone free or die: <<FtB> Also know that <stone free or die> and <Z free or die> are one and the same operator.> Fred, this is very old news - it's time to move on. If you really are upset at sock puppets, why aren't you complaining about the <bippy> (<Big Pawn> aka <George Wallace> aka <The Integrity) mis-constellation? <This poster has long used alternative accounts to troll members with numerous posts using different identities. See guideline violation 7.> Please - with the exception of a couple of <Boohoo Bear> posts most of my posts have been <sfod>. At least the ones dealing with you. <The Z operator's favorite insult today is <a urine-drinker anti-vaxer>.> What the fish are you talking about. You've got me confused with someone else. <Z-TRUTH shall set you free!> -- fixed!! |
