| Jun-13-06 | | James Demery: Eric Schiller: Can you tell me what your thought process is when you are trying to decide on a move? You look at your opponents move and then what? Is there a 5 or 6 step process you go through when trying to decide on a move? I`m curious what kind of thought process someone who has achieved Master rank has. I was thinking of perhaps asking IM Day and GM Keene and GM Polgar the same question. |

 | | Eric Schiller: <Jdemery> The only answer I can give is: controlled chaos. As a trainer, I teach mental discipline at the board but I'm my own worst student and can rarely follow my own advice. If I could, I'd have a much higher rating!
Actually, thinking when your own clock is running is quite straightforward. It is making maximum use of the opponent's clock that makes the difference. I am constantly on the hunt for weaknesses which might be exploited. Otherwise I use my standard 4-rule approach to openings, strategy, endgame and tactics. I'm publishing all of this in my Big Book of Chess, which is at the printer's now. |

|
| Jun-14-06 | | gus inn: <Jdemery> and <Eric> to some it will be of great help to use our opponents time mainly for "making plans"/position evaluation , and ones own for,mainly,concrete variaions.
And ,off course,these areas often connect with each other.
Another familar tip , which often works very well for me , is ,roughly spoken , in a flip a coinsituation (two about equally strong moves): make the one which has to be done in any case!
And this also goes for many other desicions in life and works very well.
Any moral here ?
Yep , kiss the girl at the bar.The one you like to kiss in any way.
And be shure you doublecheck the Gormallyguy before you evetually let him in. :) |

| Jun-14-06 | | lasher09: <JustAFish> <Maatalkko> I googled CT-ART 3.0 yesterday and I was able to download the demo version. I haven't seen anything like it, or perhaps I haven't seen much. I like it. => |
|
| Jun-14-06 | | apawnandafool: <lasher09>from what you've seen, how is the training in ct-art 3.0 different from personal chess trainer? |
|
| Jun-14-06 | | lasher09: <apawnandafool> As I've said I've only played CT-ART for one hour, But based on that, I'd say CT-ART deals with specific tactics that are very useful and realistic, and they are categorized. Each problem is dealt with specifically and I think it has levels of difficulty. It's like playing an actual game (quiet similar with PCT). PCT is composed of 3 subjects - tactics, endgame, and strategy. Each subject is composed of units that consists of thousands of problems to solve starting from the easiest to... you know... PCT's main objective is to train through repitition until, not only your intuition will improve, but also the ability of the mind to recognize patterns and combinations and memory build-up. It trains through experience much like CT-ART. I think they're both similar in the sense that their problems are practical and realistic, but I don't think CT-ART uses repitition, or I may be wrong. But so far, I could say my calculation has greatly improved with PCT. I find it a lot easier to spot combinations and opponent weaknesses. And I'm still on the easy level of PCT, so I'm kinda excited. And I am also excited with CT-ART. I'll take advantage of every help I can get. I've only 'glanced' at it but I think it's gonna be my way to world championship and beat Kramnik. hehe... |
|
| Jun-15-06 | | apawnandafool: ha! i think you'll have to wait until he's very, very, old to beat him...unless you beat him with a stick. and thanks for the review on that pct. i'll check it out! |

| Jun-16-06 | | Chess Classics: <Eric Schiller> Would you be interested in playing in an open tournament against other members of chessgames.com? There really aren't any incentives that I can think of, but it'd be nice to have you. Thanks mate! Regards,

| | Eric Schiller: <chess classics> I'm playing an open tournament now in Las Vegas (2-1 in National Open), games online at http://www.monroi.com/wdc/round.php.... You may have to go in through their main page to see them. |

| Jun-20-06 | | mack: Eric, what do you know about the wrestler Randall Black? I see you mentioned him in a ChessCountry.com article, but aside from this I've not been able to find much at all. A few sites mention that he got the GM title when he was 16, but I find this very, very dubious indeed. |
|
Jun-21-06
| | Eric Schiller: <mack> The "GM" title was just part of his wrestling persona, pure fiction. He never made it big in WWF or WCW. I don't know much about him, though when I was writing the Big Book of Chess (out in July) I looked at a few wrestling sites and probably saw the same stuff you did. This is probably the best overview:

| Jun-25-06 | | whiskeyrebel: Eric, a few boards (well, several) down from you at the National open a 2200 rated guy answered my 1.Nf3 d5 2.c4 with a move I've never faced: ..b6..after 3. cxd Qxd5 4.Nc3 he fianchetto'd his Queen back to b7. I can't find a reference to it in your UCO or your Hypermodern rep book. Have you seen this move before? |
|
Jun-25-06
| | Eric Schiller: <whiskey> It is new to me, and not very impressive. But he may have just wanted to get out of theory against a lower-rated opponent. I don't know if the game is in the bulletin, I'd like to track it down. |
|
Jun-26-06
 | | chessgames.com: Eric, regarding a comment you left on Tal vs Benko, 1959, the file you sent to me months ago lists this position as a "Hyperaccelerated Pterodactyl"
click for larger view I fixed the master file to say "Hyperaccelerated Dragon" for this position. I noticed that some openings were designated as "Hyperaccelerated Fianchetto", I assume this is just different nomenclature for "dragon", right? |
|
| Jun-26-06 | | PhilFeeley: I like "Hyperaccelerated Pterodactyl" !! |
|
| Jun-27-06 | | whiskeyrebel: Eric, here is the game from the National open mentioned above with the odd black 2nd move. My name is Irwin and I'm rated 1921; my opponent was Varshavsky rated 2200. I'm not very happy with the set up I chose..my 9th move is especially bad I think. I tried not to be psyched out..but failed. I actually couldn't decide at the board whether he was being creative, crafty or was unhinged. Any advice is quite welcome. 1.Nf3 d5 2.c4 b6 3.cxd Qxd5 4.Nc3 Qb7 5.d4 Nf6 6.g3 e6 7. Bg2 Qa6 (hah! ) 8.O-O Bb7 9.Re1 Bb4 10.Qc2 c5 11.Bg5 N(b)d7 12.a3 Bxc3 13.bxc Rc8 14.Qb2 O-O 15.Bxf6 Nxf6 16.Nd2 Bxg2 17.Kxg2 R(f)d8 18.e3 Qb7 19.Kg1 Qd5 20.Qb5 Qh5 21.Qe2 Qxe2 22.Rxe2 Nd5 23.Ne4 f5 24.Ng5 Nxc3 25.Rc2 cxd 26.Nxe6 d3 27.Rxc3 Rxc3 28.Nxd8 d2...0-1 |

| Jun-27-06 | | apawnandafool: <lasher> i'm getting this newsletter from that website, it's great! i sent a link to the kibitzer's cafe. i'm gonna include some puzzles from it. but i mean, you know. someone goes to the trouble to teach you things for free, maybe their program isn't bad at all. http://www.personalchesstrainer.com... |
|
Jun-28-06
| | Eric Schiller: <chessgames> Right. Must have been my error. Hyperaccelerated Fianchetto or Dragon are both common terms. |
|
Jun-28-06
| | Eric Schiller: Thanks again to all the Chessgamers who helped out with The Big Book of Chess. It has just been published and should be at all major bookstores soon. |
|
Jun-28-06
 | | WannaBe: <Eric Schiller> I'll wait for the CliffNotes version! =) By the way, I came across this yesterday during FICS blitz, have you seen it before? 1. e4 e6 2. d4 Qa4 |
