Empathy and humility are just not common personality features among highly rated chess warriors.<br /><br />bvAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8786764158320829279.post-72759095736217180552019-10-16T21:32:07.984-07:002019-10-16T21:32:07.984-07:00I've watched Carlini but too much slapstick fo...I've watched Carlini but too much slapstick for me.

He is a great wise cracker and trash talker, genuinely funny. Bobby Fischer was one of my heroes. Its just a shame the way he ended up. Stockfish is awesome. I use it all the time to train myself and expand my opening repertoire.<br /><br />on a more serious note, I wish you much good fortune regarding your recent health issues. If there is anything that I can do to help you please let me know. You know I have always thought of you as a strong and brave and from reading your recent posts I dont think any differently.

Might check out stockfish one of these days. all the best,<br /><br />RobBlue Heronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13516946085702606491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8786764158320829279.post-65722443065766951162019-10-16T20:07:38.324-07:002019-10-16T20:07:38.324-07:00l love Agadmator!

I actually find his videos to be comforting as he brings some happiness and joy to the world of high level chess analytics. I bet it would be fun to hang out with him. Did you know he is into photography? He used to support himself doing wedding videography, maybe he still does. I play quite a bit of chess, learned when I was 6 yrs old. Do you ever play stockfish? I just won my first "no take back" stockfish level 4 game ever this month! I usually just stick to level 3 as I like to win sometimes.<br /><br />bvAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
