Subject: Sam's Games from the World Open
|
I played poorly in the World Open in games 4 and 5. I do not know what
went wrong with me, especially in Game 4. Perhaps these games can be
used to lure another opponent into a one thousand dollar grudge match
like the one I won the previous weekend in Chicago.
The last game, which I won, was fairly interesting against a
promising Junior.
My score of 6-3 earned me a prize of $37.50, but was not a great
victory considering the entry fee of $280.

Why not? Already, I am a knight ahead.
I would have won the game, but I made several mistakes later.

As I've already explained this opening is a forced win for White. The first
player must play accurately, even computer-like, but he always prevails (in
theory).

Of course, the game does not end in the opening, and I understand your
doubtness about the Knight' sac.
But do you really enjoy playing f6, or Ke7-f7-g6 in the opening? Look at the
King's itenerary, isn't it a hazard-shape?

This was the second year in a row he's played it at the World Open.
Last year he beat a low Expert/high A player with it, although he didn't
have as much luck with it this year.

To have luck with this opening is like to shoot yourself and hope to live

You have to put it in context. There was a long running thread where he
kept posting analysis defending Damiano's Defense. It's a losing battle
because the defense is no good, but with a mix of analysis and optimism
he kept coming up with ideas.
Anyway, this was happening early last Summer and so when the World Open
happened he actually played it against a good player and won with it.
That's putting your money where your mouth is and you have to respect
that -- even if you don't respect the opening or Sam!

Aparently, the good player did not play good moves in that game!
I doubt Black equilized with the opening and won convincingly.....

Haven't heard of this idiom before...
and you have to respect

To respect what? the attempt of trying to defend a lost cause?
it's simply being stubborn!
-- even if you don't respect the opening or Sam!
That's not an opening, it's just walking willingly into a trap and
praying.....
As for Sam, I do not judge people.

What ever happened to that Shyster-girl that had you charged with Rape and
arrested? Did she ever pass the Bar exam? You wrote several love letters to
her, apparently you weren't getting any from her.

I won the match and got paid One Thousand Dollars.
It has always been my policy not to gloat over my victories and to be
respectful of the opponents I have defeated.

You deserve to gloat. He was trash-talking and you bitch-slapped him like a
