So far I have 2 wins and 1 losses - or 3 wins - and standing around 22xx. I never really played standard much. Even on my old account I haven't played more than sixty, more than half of it against an engine. I wanted to be the first who beats it in 15 minute standard.  I think the possibilities are quite rich. I'm actually expecting it more than I thought I would. I daresay I'm anxious. Which is weird because I've never been social and always been very private. The sole thought of talking on a mike made me go ewww :r at first. I'm negotiating with the correspondence site's owners, maybe they'll let me stream my ideas on running games. It could even serve them as advertisement. | ||

It would be best if you posted the hours you could watch in CET or EST, but I have a strong feeling I will manage if you don't. It would also be nice to know how regular you would like it to be. | ||

If you can do comments however, be it either during or after games, I would probably watch your stream quite a lot. Not going to make any promises, but I could see myself watching a stream like that for about an hour some days. I'll be most likely to watch during the evening 18-24 CET, but could be any time really as I'm a student an have a flexible schedule. EDIT: Oh, and a specific request: Maybe play some Caro-Kann, please? | ||

And detection software specifically detects engines only. And even then it's not as simple. There shouldn't be any problem with streaming. Sidenote: I can comment on my blitz games, the only thing in question is about my correspondence games on another site. There I could show the move, but maybe I'm not allowed to give explanations - my question to the admins is pending. About the Caro. It should be fine, sure. I would prefer to play against it with white. With black it can get kinda boring I would probably deviate with the g6-h5 or the early Nf6 taking double pawns sideline too much. I could show a few Panov games too as white for the kicks. Just not in a longer time control game. Ever. I'll show you some nice lines I use with white, though. They are not completely sound, but I play them even in correspondence and it's quite fun. Especially because I 'invented' one of the lines as I forgot where to sac and I took the wrong pawn. Maybe I could participate in a few open simuls it would give a long time to show my ideas. As for the date. From 22-23 CET (16-17 EST) could be one and I could also play six hours later at times. PS: Is there a way to hide your contacts' email address from MSN's chat windows? I would hate if I had to close it coz of privacy issues. | ||

And they also check match-ups with engine moves actively, etc. It's not that hard to catch the brainless version of cheaters who don't know crap about chess. Personally if I suspect someone I just flag them in 5-minute. If they really are brainless morons they don't know how to play even the simplest endgames for example and they just flag spending a helluva lot of time on a few moves. | ||

The only thing I can think of is if you were feeding the moves into some software that analyzed the best move. Either that or invite Anand over to sit with you as you play. Ng5: I did a quick search on google as I wan't able to hide my own contact adresses in dialogue windows. Unfortunately only answers I found were negative: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=24565. I understand this concerns you, but the many starcraft streamers on this site don't seem to have much in the ways of privacy settings as they stream, and given the forum and the semi-celeb status some of their contacts have, I would assume they would experience trouble before you do. About the Kann. It was actually the black lines that would interest me, but of course you have to play openings that are entertaining to you as well. I'd like to see those variations you invented, though. | ||

While Hikaru is much stronger than me, the way he treats non-masters in discussion is disgusting. so famous players actually write on forums and talk smack?

Would it be possible to see a thread? haha :D Naka and people like Radjabov can be quite assholes after games. Not just standard BM, like moving knights is a very useful skill toi have. But ICC is also the first place where people don't just keep harassing me if I'm a smurf IM or GM or who I am in real life, what my rating is etc. A lot of GMs smurf. People like Chucky, who can be called anything but a pushover. I always crack up when I think about all the discussions going on about who I might be in real life. They just accept I play and some of them watch me at times. It's nice. Before ICC I don't think I told my real name to anyone save for one person on the internet.

We can go over some lines out of games themselves. I mean I did play Caro a lot when I started playing. It was the opening I wanted to learn first, but it somehow never turned out to be the sheezy. (shizzle-mizzle-fizzle) Even today when I randomly go back to my old openings (like the French with b6, the Philidor with g6 and so on) I can rarely get myself play a straight up Caro without going into the g6 lines as black. I would really love to broaden my knowledge of the Slav and the Queen's Indian lately. I'm just too lazy and stuff like the King's Indian or QGA (Budapest, Albin, etc) are just effective enough in blitz that you just drive yourself into a certain laziness. Maybe I should take up 15 minute again and try there. Edit: Two more posts and I could sign up for the TSL commentary contest.  | ||

Would definitely tune into this if I was online at the time, I'm in Taiwan right now so there's probably a time-zone difference (11pm right now). Sort of an off-topic Q that doesn't need to be answered - what's your current occupation? Pretty sure you are over 30...or late 20s .-. Oh yeah - I can't speak for the skill-level of all the viewers here, but it would be much appreciated if thinking processes were dumbed down (as we suc) - I think using move notation is fine but overall not that technical (somebody mentioned Day's casts, and I think something analogous to that would be awesome). Sometimes I see the king randomly hustling around in the midgame or a random pawn moving forward 1 square and would like to really know why it's "the strongest move" then (or at least a sound one). | ||

As for arging with Naka, its not that he is a bad guy, he just doesnt seem to respect anyone who isnt at his level. Which is ironic, because he talks too much smack for somebody that has an overly inflated rating via not playing sufficiently strong competition. For example, look at his results at the 2009 US championship vs 2009 London Chess Classic. It will be very interesting to see how Mr. Big Mouth does in Corus Group A (starts jan.15 iirc) against the likes of Carlsen, Kramnik and Anand. | ||
