Jaymthegenius said: <I got my girlfriend Hiarc's 9.0 for Valentines day, I just think that Hiarc's has a very cute style of possitional play suited for a girl (also known for aggressive attacking abilities, so is also suited for a man in that respect.)>

Jaymthegenius said: <Deep Blue a man? Thats silly! As for me, I try to avoid playing girls in chess whenever I can because there is still a risk of loosing (a lesser risk then playing another man, but still a risk nonetheless)>

Jaymthegenius said: <but for some reason losing to a girl (master or not) IS embarrassing, this is NOT a genderism, as if you lose to a girl she assumes you do it on purpose to feed her ego, and shows she is capable of outsmarting, but to defeat at chess a girl shows you are not afraid to win a match no matter who you play>

Jaymthegenius said: <Did ANYBODY hear this statement? This post is NOT a genderist. My girlfriend sayd "Oh yeah! I've heard of a girl who defeats Karpov." I say " Don't be silly! No girl beats Karpov!" She say "Oh yeah! go to this site and look on the search!" Then I say " you win again! How does a girl defeat my favorite players? Makes no sense." I lose to her, I dont like pushing my pawns, when I play dragon, she castles queenside and pushes her pawns, after white move g4, h5 I was sad, I do not like when my opponent has pawns storming into my territory, and girlfriend does this alot.>

Jaymthegenius said: <An update! I defeat my girlfriend! Thats right! I havent played her in quite a while, I have improved alot since then (MCO, Killer chess tactics, hypermodern white repetoire, Secrets of the Dragon by Gufeld and Schiller, How to think in chess, and Turn advantage into vicotory in chess have helped me wonders!) Also, Fritz evaluation of many Staunton games (Me and Staunton play rediculously alike, see>

Jaymthegenius said:< Lucena the greatest opening inventor of all time? I think not! Richard Reti and Aeron Nimzowhich are far superior to Lucena in all aspects of chess. I would play the Reti vs. anyone from back then and win, I know I would win because I have read opening hypermodern repetoire for white by eric Schiller.>

Jaymthegenius said: <Did Lucena analyse 1.b3? Or did I imagine that? (I bet Nimzovich refuted any line Lucena gives!)>

Jaymthegenius said: <Kf2???? that's terrible! instead of 5.d4 he should have played 5.Nc3 instead. I mean, I've been told by many people that Philidor would be more then capable of defeating Chessmaster, and this game is proof that my case is right in that he would NOT be able to! As chessmaster said that Kf2 was a blunder>

Jaymthegenius said: <I would definately defeat Philidor, I would play the bishops opening like here, but would play 8.a4,bxa4 9.Bxa4 instead. As Eric Schiller has said "as it turns out, history recapitulates the learning of the average player" So Philidor today would probably be a class-J opponent in modern America (rated 100-300, around he would be!) though I am using USCF terms because I lack knowledge on the french system, (except I know that instead of R they write T for rook. for tour)>

Jaymthegenius said: <My comment's about Philidor are well grounded by the theory (which should be considered law by now) that people get smarter as the years go by, back in the 1500's Long devision was taught in the universities, but nowaday's anybody with a 3rd grade education can do it. Nowaday's we are better overall in chess then we were 200 year's ago, because not only the chess theory, but the smarter mind's of the people overall.>

Jaymthetactician said:<
Also on the chessbase database I've ran some games through a computer and how do you feel about McDonnell, Morphy, and Philidor calculating more accurately then youre sister Judith, Short, and Anand? (my point is that it is said that chessbase has many false games, and with Bird defeating Lasker and Steinitz, as well as McDonnells computer like calculation against Labourdonnais in a few games (though most horrendousely flawed). I have no doubts that some games are false. And some ratings are innacurately reported in them.>
