You will quickly see that I did not even start to discuss anything serious with you. Here in CCC it's a real goal to show you some science. >There are SO MANY examples that it >boggles the mind. Not mine. Because I think instead of copy & pasting. You are just working with quotes and anecdotes.

Tal was very upset and called up the master (I think it was the magazine's >editor) to complain on the bogus analysis. The master explained that had Tal >actually turned to the next page he'd have seen that the line was refuted >exactly as his opponent played! Albert, come on! Did you know Tal? Do you believe all what is written in a book? The wording alone makes me laugh. Tal looked quickly, but - to fool the average public - therefore he couldn't understand the real quality of the line. ROFL. Please give me more of such anecdotes. I like it. And I persist: I'm not joking! > >As you know, Anand has a game that he lost in a record 6-7 moves. Uhm, Me too! :) >Do you know >how or why? Self-hypnosis! >Anand himself explained that he saw the opening analyzed in the >Informant and didn't bother checking any of the analysis. As a consequence he >fell for a 2-move tactic that won a piece. Even a genius such as himself >followed the moves so blindly he failed to see a simple 2-move shot. First of all Anand is not a genius. He's a genial gambler. But as a serious chessplayer he lost me. ;)) And then, didn't you know that Anand simply proved Einstein's relativity theory? Because, Albert, when you play in such a high speed like Anand, almost with light speed, then you become a 1200 (!!) player for some _short_ moments. Microseconds! That is against all known chess laws, but it is a very old Psychology Law! Yours truly, Rolf Tueschen > > Albert >
