just about to leave for day 2. I went 1.5/2 on day 1, winning a Gruenfeld and drawing a QID.

using and engine isnt cheating .. the difference between a master like myself using an engine .. and a novice like your slef are worlds apart .. you think if you were playing kasparov in the world versus kaspy he wouldnt be using fritz .. he admit-tingly did ,, the difference IS .. i don't plagiarize the engine , mimdlessly psoting what it says ,, whioch some of you obviously are ,, i use it to explore a given position ,,, BECAUSE its more out of laziness .. i can beat the damn thing ,, do you understand that ... i can beat the engine i am using on my quad core..... therefore i am using it merely to save time sifting through various tactics .. i am a ranked fide master and dont like being called a cheater ,,, i do not quite think you fully understand how an advanced player uses and engine

What exactly is preventing Black from playing 18...dxc5 after 18.c5? I tried looking through the posts, and can't find an answer.

I can use a statshack way better than my brother but it still remains cheating.

Yeah dude read the rules next time. I don't fucking give a shit if you are a fide master, you don't use engines. When the rules tell you to do something, and you clearly violate it, you have no right to keep violating it. Get out.

hi guys,

and for the next move I think it's a no brainer right ? because unless all of you are:

- extremely high or drunk
- extremely masoquists
- extremely capable of winning a game down a queen,

all of which I'm quite sure you're not - then again I don't think anyone could win this game down a queen hahaha- , I think you guys are gonna Rxd2.

I saved the screenshot already for that move, so just confirm me that you want me posting it today right away and we can move on to the 20.

Btw Lightman, could you fix the moves? I'm pasting these into a pgn game viewer, but they're invalid because castling is not written with zeros but with O's, and also we played Na4 and not Na5. It's annoying to fix these mistakes _every_ move.

Yes, we play RxQ of course.

Wow people are ver hostile towards chessmaster :S He can't even vote so what's all the rage about... He is only providing analysis you can even avoid reading it if you are so hellbent on it.

He IS using it to save time. After all is said and done the only one that has a say is lightman. If he has an issue then chessmaster should refrain from posting and save his analysis and notes for after the game is done.

Lightman are you O.K. with a FIDE Master using an engine to analyse moves and posting them during the game?

jfazz HWATING!!! Pics please! Were can we follow this tournament? Any chance we will be able to see them later in chessgames.com?

Also lightman just update the move Rxd2

Nope.

I'm honoring vetkel's original rules that come all the way from first and second TL Chess tourneys and TL Chess match I, which state if you read them-


1) RULES:

> No chess engines or outside help, please.


I think your teammates have handled well the situation with chessmaster asking him not to use chess engine nor to post again in the thread, which is why I haven't felt the need to get involved; at this point if I see another post of him here I will ask for a mod to ban him.

Team Liquid has always had a strong reputation and firm policies against cheating/cheaters in their website activities, and although I'm not part (neither the match is) of the administrating team (or TL activities), I believe it's my and our duty to carry on that policy through all its inner activities.

I'm going to post your Rxd2 move right away now.

Ok, I haven't been in the loop for a while, but R1d1 looks good to me. Note that after R1d1 Nf7, e5 is possible. Unless we can win a pawn we should not play cxd6 unprovoked.

20. R1d1

Thanks for the help Lightman.

Rfd1 is correct in this case. You would use the latter if the rooks are on the same file.
