What would that mean?> As <Boomie> has already explained this, I will gracefully step aside. He is right--I do not often post here--but would have been happy to respond had I seen your question of some time ago. Take care. |

| May-08-18 | | theagenbiteofinwit: In 2012 I won my cities amateur chess championship and took my 500 winnings to the local casino to play some 1-3. Turns out I met the 1972 chess champ there at the table. I asked him if he still played chess, and he told me "no, poker is more profitable." That statement marked the exact moment that I peaked in chess, as I began to study poker seriously and now I'm a live pro at 3-5 NLHE. Still, I love the chess and I'm studying it again because I've got the time to do what I please. Do you think it's possible to find a balance between serious chess, which pays very little, and serious poker? Grischuk seems to have briefly struck that balance, although he's given up poker, since it demands just as much serious study with GTO solvers and a constant need to improve one's game. Anyway good luck with your high variance donkaments ;) |

 | | Diademas: Thank you for your kind words <perfidius>. I try to stay out of the Rogoff page, but sometimes I act against my better judgement. If the discourse seen in there are representative for the U.S. in general, I think you're in deep doo-doo. |

| Aug-03-18 | | Nisjesram: Hey , <perfidious> I am learning English grammar these days - SAT English grammar book by Erica Meltzer and a lot of googling.
I have spent a lot of time googling on the first topic that I have studied - 'part of speech'. However, I am still left with a few questions unanswered. Can you please help me with those questions ?
Thank you.

| Nov-25-18 | | JimNorCal: With all due respect, <perfidious>, the Ju WenJun page is being polluted. I won't respond to your comment on that page but in fact your contribution and your determination to debunk Optimal just adds to the pollution.
I mean, stating essentially that "he didn't say anything wrong this time but he says lots wrong other times" is pretty weak. Why not just say, "yeah, I got it wrong this time" and let it die? perfidious: <JimNorCal>, of course you are correct on that point; but that poster's anti-Muslim rants are legion elsewhere. |

| Dec-30-18 | | fkohn: Oh so if you were hanging around Cleveland in 1977 you probably knew/know Chuck Schulien. Hence the comment on a Korchnoi/Schulien game on another thread. I can't find any games in the database so I assume there used to be one or more that got removed? |
|
| Dec-30-18 | | fkohn: I played 2nd board on the team that won the High School championship in 1974. Basically that was because no one from Cleveland showed up. They probably would have creamed us. We went on to the National High School Team Championship in New York and place 19th. As I recall the team from Cleveland did much better than we did. |

| | perfidious: <saffuna>, forgot one other, short-lived sockie--<ayertiam33>. Big shock to see that the post outlining the numerous sock accounts of <sybil> had a date with the executioner, whilst his hate-filled screeds are allowed to stand for all time. |

Not to worry--there is always a place for you here, a spot where all topics may be discussed without fear of such horrific retribution. We deal in realities, as we are not ensconced in the Kingdom of Delusiana. |

| | perfidious: <morf>, remember the John Jakes series styled The Kent Chronicles? There was a passage early on in which a Virginia planter refers to someone as a damned, perfidious spawn of Satan. Believe he also went on to call him a wretched, blundering miscreant--as if the other were not enough! |

| | perfidious: From the 1950 USSR Championship page, in case it, too faces the executioner: <<NeverAgain>, plenty of inter alia, anti-Semitic commentary has been allowed and even condoned elsewhere; this piece by Voronkov is very clearly a parody--to those willing to see it for what it is.Rich theatre.> |

| | perfidious: Foxwoods, part trois:
Another interlude of aggro featuring Cope carried on with us now four-handed, as I lay back a little after my narrow escape at the hands of Buster Jackson. Seemed to me it was time to tighten up and show down a bit of strength. Before long, Cope busted out and that left me facing former bracelet winner Stern and Seymour, the latter of whom I knew was no milksop. Once the action went three-handed, I opened the game a bit more and got it in before the flop with QT suited facing Stern, a hand which had served reigning WSOP main event winner Robert Varkonyi well the previous spring in his bid for the title. The QT mentioned managed to outdraw Max, and I had the edge in chips as battle was joined heads up, but this set-to was far from over. |

| | perfidious: Epilogue:
With Bill Seymour and I now going at it for the greater glory of mankind and a pile of dough, curiously I remember little of what went at the final table; but it was well after midnight by now and we had been playing since 10.00 the morning before. The one hand I recall with great clarity came with me holding roughly a 2-1 edge in chips. I brought it in as small blind with AQ, Bill three-bet and I shoved and was called by 88. The flop came 8xxx8 and all I could think to do was laugh when the river card was dealt. After that piece of business, I managed to fight back with much aggression, regain the lead and eventually break Bill; to this day, I cannot recall what the winning hand was--probably because it was 3.00 or so and we were both dog tired. A spot of dinner and four hours' rest left me far from ready to play the Omaha event at 10.00 that Saturday morning, so I had the good sense not to try. That afternoon, went to the poker room and ran into, of all people, old foe Dan Shapiro, who related his experiences in the hard fight Yusupov vs D Shapiro, 2002. |
