What are your goals, tactics, etc, etc, etc in chess? Reply should be no less than 500 words. destroy the opponents king. ermmm. let me edit this tomorrow Is it tomorrow yet? erm, nope. I like to start with unconventional openings/defenses. I think the strongest part of my game is either a good understanding of opening theory as well as a great tactical mind in a small-piece endgame. I don't memorize many openings, but I can usually come out of any game /opponent to move 12/15 or so down 1 pawn at the most. At the same time, by being unconventional, I often can seize early leads or push the opponent into tempo wasting moves. My other goals in the opening are to usually seize the center, and establish the possibility to castle opposite my opponent. In the middle game, I like to maintain my center where possible and create bad bishops for my opponent. I find most amateurs are horrible knight players, so bad bishops, or even bishop exchanges typically find me thinking opportunistally. I try to avoid excessively dynamic or excessively closed positions because I simply am not good enough or currently practiced enough to see combinations/compensation very well. Assuming I get to move 20-25 even or with a lead I tend to start trying to obliterate the opposition's king. If the opponent is well defensed, then I will settle for piece-swaps until we're down to a few minors and then I hope and trust I can win. |

Aske, maybe you are too young to remember the rubic's cube, but if your not. When you first saw or got a rubic's cube, how many minutes (or should I say seconds ) did it take for you to figure it out? |

LOL That's actually what I did! The pop culture reference so many are aware of is stickers, so I went with it. Oh, yeah. Start with the corners, the rest will fall apart into your hands, and your stickers stay good. |

Ha! Aske, you hack!
You stole that rhetoric straight from King_Slayer over at freechessinfo.com.
I've been talking to some regular FCIers. pawnbrkr, bishop_guy063, kinghunt, and poison_pawn1966.
I did enjoy your tussle with Patzer. That dude is such a tool. I hear he's close with pawnnfool.
