| Jul-03-09 | | SugarDom: I'm sorry <Jessie>

I never meant to make you cry.
But tonight, i'm shifting back to Arnold.

| Jul-03-09 | | benjinathan: I just saw your posts on the UMAN page. My question: why do you care? Why do you care that some people like to play computer chess anymore than you care that some people like to collect stamps or play mumbly peg? I don't get it. Artar seems like a pretty decent guy. I don't get why you ridicule him and his rating, just because he likes to use computers to play chess. I know you think that you don't learn anything from computer chess, but I am not so sure. The computer isn't making moves on its own. It is following rules given to it by GMs. Anyway, I am not trying to pick a fight. I was just quite surprised by your tone. I wish you well. P.S. I have spent almost as much time as Artar over the last year reading chessbooks and my rating has not improved much either. So I don't think it is just computer chess that may be a waste of time ;). |

 | | Domdaniel: <Jess> Thank you, my queen, for that "genius" tag over on the live page. Perfectly true, of course, but it's nice to be appreciated by persons of taste. A Mr Myschkin seems to be leaving messages for you in my gaff. Can't think why. You have my unqualified support, anyhow. I suspect the universe will come to a Big Crunch when you finally overtake acirce, kibitz-wise. But with any luck the ending will be slow. |

 | | jessicafischerqueen: <Niels> I just sent you an EMU and then noticed you've closed the Center. Please write me back and let me know what's up?

| Jul-03-09 | | achieve: <Jess> Thanks for your emu, and yes, closing my forum was my, mostly, "knee-jerk" reaction... Sigh
And good to read your post at benji's as well.
I'll respond to your email in the morning - in a few (4-6) hours from now - and let you know "what's up". Need to get some sleep now first. |

Wonderful to "see" your voice!
heh
Ok I look forward, obviously, to hearing your TOP SECRET emu information. As for me- time to get back to chess.
I'm hungry again and it feels good. |

heh- one of my favorite pictures.
Did you now that was a pre-arranged publicity photo?
Also, <Bobby> only agreed to it if the board showed him with a won position!! Source- Frank Brady's biography, <Profile of a Prodigy>. Long may Chairman prosper. |

| Jul-04-09 | | Nf3em: << jessicafischerqueen: <Niels> well someone has to blow a gasket every once in a while.
Ok check this out-
The pivotal Game 20 from <Karpov- Kasparov 1990>= Kasparov vs Karpov, 1990
Position after <Garry> has just played <18.Rae3>

Ok I'm looking at this and thinking- why doesn't <Karpov> just play <18...fxe4>?
Wins a pawn by force and gives Black a connected passed pawn in the center. So if
<18...fxe4
19.Rxe4 Rxe4
20.Nxe4 Nxd5>
We would get this-

Ok who's better here, Black or White?
Hmmm I guess in some variations White gets the Black <e-pawn> here soon- Maybe it's not so good for Black. Or maybe White grabs total control of the <e-file> now -- maybe <21.Qe2>? and with both Bishops pointing at the Black king with dark square pawn targets around it-- Maybe White's compensation would be a dynamic attack... WHAT'S YOUR OPINION???
In the game <Karpov> chose to "bide his time", as he was so fond of doing. Play in the actual game continued
<18...Nf6
19.Nh2 Kh8>

">http://www.chessgames.com/perl/fen?... click for larger view
Maintaining the tension- maybe <Karpov> thought <Garry> would get too much dynamic piece play in exchange for the pawn-- CLASH OF TITANS. >
yeah, I agree! ... in exchange of the pawn White will gain control of the e-file and also the light-squared Bishop will be uncovered thus control the long diagonal c1-h7 and with the other Bishop pointing at Black's King-side -- more than enough compesation for the pawn |

| Jul-04-09 | | Nf3em: < <jessicafischerqueen>: Thanks for dropping by~~~!! May Chairman continue to prosper. >

| | jessicafischerqueen: <ChessMasta2000> Hello again! I've actually taken my email address down from my profile because I was getting way, way too much traffic to digest properly. However, feel free to ask me any specific questions here in my forum and I'll do my best to give my usual unqualified and irresponsible personal opinions on any of them. <what's your rating> Approximately equivalent to around <1800> USCF. Ok there's one answer. |

 | | WannaBe: Okay, in a nutshell, that page you linked to, is not <From> Wiki, but a Wiki formatted/styled page hosted on Azureus's server. (The page begins with wiki.azu instead of wikipedia.org/Azureus, think that is why was I partially confused... =) Okay, here is how bittorrent works, and why it faster... http://netforbeginners.about.com/od... http://compnetworking.about.com/od/... If you like the gory details, I suppose I can post more on it... =) |

| | jessicafischerqueen: <MannBee> thanks so much for taking the time. I read those pages and some of the links from them-
Well the port I have open now for my torrents is fabulous to say the least. It downloaded a 7.8 Gigabyte file yesterday in a matter of a few hours. At top speed it was gusting up to over 2.0 mb/s.
Now I have everything set up the way I like it.
Thanks again! |

| Jul-05-09 | | achieve: <Jess> Some tips on <How> to study chess: <
In chess there are methods to study the game that are much more beneficiary to you than others. The trick is to find out which ones are the best and focus on them since they leverage the most progression, while reducing the others. In general one can say that studying chess actively is better than studying chess passively. What do I mean by that? What is active studying as opposed to passive studying? Studying chess actively means:
- you create a serious study environment
- in which you find ways to really use your brain
- that are beyond your comfort zone
Examples of active chess studying are:
- Solving tactics puzzles from computer programs, magazine or book diagrams or from the board by means of visualization, so without moving the pieces, writing down the variations, checking them later with the solutions and keeping track of your progression - Studying a difficult tactical or strategical chess position on the board by means of visualization, so without moving the pieces, writing down the variations and conclusions and checking them by now moving the pieces and comparing what you see to what your mind’s eye saw as reflected in your notes. As a variation you might use a chess clock and add a time constraint, for instance 15 minutes. - Playing through a grandmaster game and constantly trying to visualize the given sidelines besides constantly asking questions such as: What is threatened with this move? Why does he play that? Why does he not play this? Etc. - Doing the same as in 3) with your own games, preferably the ones you lost(!) - For 3) and 4) making notes of your findings and filing your analysis. These activities are neuro-linguistic and help to imprint what you have learnt in the brain - The benefits of these methods are that you step out of your comfort zone, stomp your brain and improve your chess skills, which is very important. More about that later on. Important note: where relevant, make sure you choose positions and exercises that are beyond your comfort zone.> etc...
From: http://www.chessedelic.com/2008/08/... Also puts in perspective part of what was discussed at howard's regarding setting 'low ambition' goals and mainly trying to "have fun along the way..." Seems very clear to me that indeed taking yourself out of your comfort zone, in order to learn or achieve something, requires effort, persistence, not throwing the towel too soon, etc... If you want to learn to play the guitar, for example, and you'd not be willing to have blisters on your fingertips, which will later turn to a different skintype that is more "hardened", then you'd never learn how to play the instrument... With such an attitude NO-ONE would ever learn to master a musical instrument. No pain no gain, obviously, so there must always be an investment, before there is a return. It's "just" a matter of finding a good balance, through checking along the way what the progress is, set against the time and invested effort. As long as there is a healthy (!!!) motivation, from inside yourself. As the world's best ever Bass player (Jazz) once said: "People sometimes think I rolled out of bed one day and could play in the Minor key of B flat... They're wrong, I had to practise very hard." -- Ray Brown (1926-2002) |

| Jul-05-09 | | Travis Bickle: <jessicafischerqueen> Hi Jess have you seen my second Elvis set? If not come check it out. ; P |
|
| Jul-05-09 | | achieve: <Jess> Just to avoid misunderstanding. I posted the link because I thought it might be of interest, and it's written by a Dutch guy, Waldemar Moes, who really has made a name for himself because of his approach to coaching... But in my opinion you already do so many things in a superbe way, re your chess training in particular. So the lengthy post, reading back now, maybe was a bit over the top, superfluous, but it wasn't meant like that. He (Waldemar) also created a special chess coaching website - <betteryourchess dot com> which is very interesting. And tomorrow morning I will write you the promised emu. That's right!!
Ok- time for a 'good night' from here. |

| | jessicafischerqueen: <Niels> no worries- those EXCELLENT coaching tips are in no way at odds with the EXCELLENT posts that <dak> and <Big Crawdaddy> left. I was VERY PLEASED to see his emphasis on VISUALIZATION- Makes me feel good about having driven myself insane this last year for NEVER using my board as an aid to solving puzzles or playing correspondence chess. I suspected that this VISUALIZATION ability was the key to actual OTB improvement. Especially in my ratings range- approx- Class B Club player- <Tim's> post about "no substitute for regular play" also rings true with my experience over the past three years. <Josh Waitzkin> stresses this point as well. heh
