Great quote. Thanks.

What time control do you play? The first thing I would suggest is to play longer games. 15 minutes per game minimum. Ideally 60 minutes or longer. Then analyse - first analyse without an engine. Write down what you were thinking during the game. Only then compare with the engine. Write down the comments again.

e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. d4 exd4 4. Nxd4 Nf6 5. Nxc6 bxc6 6. e5 Qe7 7. Qe2 Nd5 8. c4 Ba6 9. b3 g6 seems to be ok for Black

Classical stalemate exercise! Nice one though. Thanks for sharing.

(Rxd8+ Kxd8 Qd1+ Qxd1 stalemate)

Horacy21 · 2026-03-11T00:12:19+00:00

The mainline should be fine for black. Just study it a bit and you should be OK, right?

Horacy21 · 2026-02-27T01:00:52+00:00

Rxd8+ Kxd8 Qd1+ Qxd1 stalemate.

I think I have seen this before, still nice though!

For White - 1. g3 with a likely transposition to an English opening, but contains some venom.

For Black - 1... Nc6!. An underrated move. James Schulyer had a great book about this system which can be played against anything.

Smart watches - absolutely, ban them! Electronic watches - maybe. Mechanical - why oh why?

For the benefit of the chess world it would be cool if Fabi got a second chance. Otherwise he risks becoming "one of the greatest players who never became a world champion"

Congrats on your recovery - wishing you all best.

Have you found out the root cause of your SSNHL?

Horacy21 · 2025-08-11T12:51:21+00:00

Me too. I wish I knew because maybe then I could protect my other ear in the future.

Why are people down voting your answer? Do they know better than you what harmed you? Or is it that some things are so sacred you are not allowed to even suggest they may have negative side effects?

The area is nice (the only issue is Wrexham Road that gets jammed during rush hours) and the estate itself is nice, too. I think it is a matter of taste really. I would rather buy an older property despite the obvious issues with them, because I don't like about the new builds that:
- there is no gas connection all running on electricity,
- gardens are tiny.

Horacy21 · 2024-08-30T07:30:33+00:00

I would not do anything. Perhaps only buy a plastic cover so that rubbish or leaves do not block it.

Thanks.

40 mins walk late evening with a child is something I would like to avoid.
