Chess Players Wanted

[Cj_leonine]

Lately my chess game has been suffering. Badly.
Will someone give me some advice?

Don't care if it's about end game, openings, or whatever.

A good opener is to move one of your pawns. Or one of your knights.

Sweet, I play chess too
we should get together some time

What you should do is go find a friend, find some professional games (internet)
go to somewhere in the middle and start playing it out from there

It makes you think more - its good

as long as its Queen knight pawn, and you're white... he's right.

Orangutang is clearly the best opening attack there is... fiancetto that bishop while harassing a knight from going to c6

I'm sorry... not one to usually gay up a CT thread... but I could have sworn Blah wrote "Fellatio that bishop while harassing a knight"... which is easily 100x cooler of a statement.

PS - I was in a chess club when I was 10. I'm also friends with the Benjamin family, who are all Grand Masters... one of them played me and 30+ other people... all at the same time... and won every match.

as black, play this (when allowed)
e4 e5
nf3 nc6
bb5 a6
ba4 nf6
o-o be7
re1 b5
bb3 o-o
c3 d5
Marchall Gambit
My performance rating with it is roughly 300 points above my actuall rating (2000 to 1700)

RE: Chess Players Wanted

Everything starts with the opening. I suggest you start with a few openings that you like and work out the variations that lead to you having the upper hand or have ways to let you escape a potential threat. I suggest you start with double king pawn openings (games that start with e4 e5), as they are the most common and most logical.

While I'm probably not that good myself (I was into it several years ago and was in the 1200-1400 range), I like to think I have a strong theoretical background, but I keep having problems with finding threats my opponent is setting up.

RE: Chess Players Wanted

ha clearly all these responses mean absolutely nothing on their own.

RE: Chess Players Wanted

Best Opening Move ever.

Knight to C3

Pawn to D3

Knight to F3

Pawn to E3

If anyone can give me the name of this opening, you get a Chrome Point.

I have white down but I suck like a vietnamese prostitute when I start out as black. How about we start a game somebody?
