moronovich Member since Sep-13-07 Elo 2316 . "Play the board AND the man ! ". But mostly the board. Was born in Elsinore,Denmark,1953.And I am still proud of it.As I hope everyone is proud of hers/his startingpoint. In many aspects life and chess do mirror each other IM experience.As science and belief goes hand in hand.So many "rules of thumbs" and many "exceptions" from the rule. I do agree with Bent Larsen who once said that someone who cannot contain a paradoxe is not using the full capacity of his brain.Actually I am convinced that there are no parodoxes,but perspectives which are more bright or flexible than others... Though some obviously are borned under more easygoing circumstances than others,I will second our esteemed fellowkibitzer <zarg> who underlines that "luck" is also somehing that we create ourselves. Ourselves,but also together IM experience. I try to live my life as if Jesus or Buddha knocked on the door , I would wellcome them as friends . And if they didn´t show up, it would be fine anyway.

Feb-27-15    FSR: Happy very belated birthday! What, if I may ask, was the refutation of 1...b6 that you and Miles found? Feb-27-15    FSR: Incidentally, you may be interested to know that Cyrus Lakdawala has just come out with a book <1...b6: Move by Move>. http://www.everymanchess.com/displa... Feb-27-15    moronovich: Thanks <FSR> ! I´ll just take it from the top of my head,so forgive me if the move order isn´t entirely correct,but often/sometimes, it is not that important in Owens 1e4-b6 2.d4-Bb73.Bd3-e6.4.Nf3-Nf6.5Qe2-c5.6.c3-Be7.7.Nb- d2-Nc6.8.a3-d6.9.0-0,0-0.10.Re1-Rc8 and White will follow with b4(!!) and Bb2 where Black is positionally busted,simply lacking space and counterplay. There are many deviations off course but both setups were the ones we considered best and most principled.And we didn´t believe in an early d5 from black,as some theorists do. I hope this may give you some ideas,but I have given up upon the whole project as I searched for something sustainable and everlasting. But practically it works as the majorite of the white players(under a certain strenght)dont know it,so it is definately worth a gamble,at least sometimes.. All the best and thanks for stopping by.
