As part of a discussion on that phenomena we asked the opinion of a medical professional: Lionel Adalbert Bagration Felix Kieseritzky (kibitz #88) <rgr459: a a physician, my preferred question to assess stool consistency is: if you stool on the floor, and drop a quarter in it, will it splash, stick, or bounce off?> |

| | offramp: I really enjoyed this chess quote, posted by User: zanzibar at Nuremberg (1883). The credit really goes to a <The Field> journalist, but his words might have been forgotten were it not for <Zanzibar>. Nuremberg (1883) (kibitz #6) <<Commenting upon the Nuremberg tournament, the Field remarks that "Chess-players, as a rule, consider themselves at least pawn and move stronger than they really are; hence competitors entering a tournament hope to gain a prize by reasoning that they will be able to draw with the recognised favourites and beat those whom they consider—estimating their strength at the above standard—inferior to themselves." The outside world might conclude from this that Chess-players are very conceited persona, but this does not follow. Every player naturally judges of himself at his best, and takes little account of games lost by careless blunders. These he willingly forgets as fast as possible. His error consists in believing himself capable of avoiding mistakes when there is every inducement for him to play correctly. To play well is the gift of fortune; but to make mistakes comes by nature.><BCM v03 (Aug-Sep 1883) p340/351>> |

| | offramp: A very interesting memory from that erudite User: ChessHigherCat, recently at Korchnoi vs Karpov, 1974 (kibitz #35). <ChessHigherCat: I knew [Korchnoi's] second during this match, Yacov Murey, and got to know him quite well in Paris. The first time I saw him blitz in the Jardin du Luxembourg he wasn't at all well-dressed and looked like he hadn't shaved for a few days, but you could see right away from his style of play that he was a GM, a totally different species. For one thing, he never just defended against a threat, he either neutralized the attack and took the initiative at the same time or else he launched his own attack elsewhere. Another thing is that in 5-minute chess, lots of patzers lose because they forget their king is in check, but Jacov had this sense of his king hardwired into his body so he could no more forget about a check than he could overlook an attack on a (particularly sensitive) part of his body. Also, patzers tend to lose themselves staring at a certain small portion of the board but he seemed to calculate according to the overall configuration of the whole board all the time.> One of the best attempts at explaining the chasm between us ordinary players and the top masters. Bravo! |
