Dec-20-05  barefootin: An opportunity to brag on my own
development. Never having seen Black's
system before, I played (after 2...f5)
3 Nc3 fxe4 and now 4 Ng5 with the pawn
sac of d3! later, and got a crushing game.
Dec-20-05  aw1988: Not a bad plan.
Nov-03-06  James Demery: Did you Reassess the position and find the imbalances?
Jan-31-07  thesonicvision: lol. a bad silman joke, i see.
Feb-03-09  James Demery: Your own development? is that you Jeremy?
Feb-03-09  Jim Bartle: "Did you Reassess the position and find the imbalances?"

Yes, but I erred by selecting the candidate moves first.

Feb-05-09  James Demery: Thats right Bartle. You are supposed to come up with your fantasy position first then , and only then, select candidate moves. That was the mistake barefootin ... I mean Silman... made. I wonder why Silman/barefootin stopped posting here? Probably wanted to stay away from us patzers so we don`t ruin his game.
Jul-31-18  Saniyat24: Rooted Out...!
Jan-27-19  Granny O Doul: I see nothing in barefootin's post to suggest that he is Silman. Given that the vast majority are not, I'm guessing that barefootin is not either.
