How do cool people play chess - The full tutorial

I had sunglasses once, just for show-off, plus - I ignore people - I'm cool!



See? I ignored his threat and continued my own.

Did I calculate? Not at all.

Cools don't calc. Nerds geeks and squares do, maybe four-eyed too, who cares.

If you're cool - you ignore, if you're ignorant - you're cool!

If I'd lose the game would I publish it? No.
Do I have 5 lost games like that for each won game, but prefer to publish only the won ones to create an illusion that I know what I'm doing?
Umm,... No.

No.

Still, Benko wore shades...yet Tal was the one who was cool.

Always go in the path of your bishop.

Again - ignoring his pawn-grabbing - at the end.

A brief opening explanation:

If I'd play 3.Bb5 - Spanish, opponent May play Bc5, if I'd play Bc4 - Italian, opponent is Likely to play Bc5 - what I want, then I lose the e-pawn and play 0-0 - gaining something - after d2-d4 opponent doesn't have Bb4+ - my king isn't on e1 - so I have d2-d4-d5-d6, all thx to his Bc5 move. Wise of him is to play d6 instead of grabbing the pawn (or of castling, in his case).

I highly recommend this gambit, and really any c3-d4 thrust - against the English opening, after 1...c5, or against the Sicilian, and IN the Sicilian (e6, d5) - you're having all the fun with these pawn-thrusts. In the game, I messed up because I'm an idiot.

In summation:
* Play c3 d4 d5 d6.
* Don't be an idiot. (= don't play with a flipped board because "it's more interesting" like I did)

Can we get a Noteboom game in here? It's what all the cool kids play. "Yeah, sure, you can mate me, I have 2 connected passed pawns, virgin."

This is the game I'm most proud of - I lost Badly, but I'm cool and don't care. Dragon spirit.



Look at the end position - I don't even have spite-checks!

Yes, please do.

Although d4 d5 doesn't count as 'cool', do you have sunglasses at least? does your older brother have one? anyone in the family? and I mean the expensive ones, not the plastic flea market garbage - show-off matters.

Of course I do. I can play a cool opening just for you - what do you want?
