Profile / Personal info:
Real name: City: Country: Germany Time zone: GMT+1Age: Gender: maleHomepage: noneAdditional info: ********************** Für einen Mann, der nicht weiß, wohin es ihn treibt, gibt es keinen günstigen Wind. (Lucius Annaeus Seneca) ******************************* Due to educational issues, I can only accept matches with a 5+ day time- frame for now. I'll try to move faster, though. ******************************* How to avoid looking like a fool in chess: 1. If someone gives you check, do not ask: "Will my bank accept it?" 2. You won't avoid losing pawns by glueing them to the board. 3. A double pawn is not the result of a pawn promotion. 4. Do not call your King "President", even if you live in a democracy. 5. The ELO-Rating does not show how much of a fan your opponent is of the Electric Light Orchestra. 6. Do not say "Rest in Pieces", if you have won a match. 7. Stealing a pawn at an unattended board while walking by is not "en pas- sant". 8. If your opponent says "Your piece is hanging", he does not mock you! 9. Do not shout "Zugzwang" if your King has no squares to avoid chess. 10. A discovered attack has yet to be discovered. Seriously. 11. You can't reload a position if you messed it up. 12. You are not allowed to use a chess engine, even if you are an mechanic. 13. Double Chess does not mean you play two boards simultaniously. 14. You won't receive extra thinking time if you time out. 15. You cannot use three Knights from the start with the argument "but there were three musketeers". 16. If you lost a game, don't tell your friends how the referee must have been bribed. 17. Rook is not short for Rookie. 18. Placing a piece on the border of two squares is not a "Zwischenzug".
