I'm curious about something, Ng5, will all your contributions be very high level? I'm an amateur myself and I'm excited that there is this passion for chess in TL.

Issue me a challenge on chess.com
My username is alearthcore19
Please, no experts! I would prefer if you are around the 1400-1600 range. My rating is 1209 but only because I lose games on time

I'll play you in a correspondence game, you should be able to live with 3 days per move

I'm not the best, I only have a USCF rating of ~1400 (somewhere around there), but I never really attended tournaments during HS, but I've gotten back in to the swing of things and plan to attend some tournaments here in the future in Philadelphia. I'll help you improve if you want.

Hopefully not. I like to beguile myself by thinking I give insights to all different ranges. Personally I do believe I can learn something from everyone, even from the weakest players out there, and sometimes not even the best can teach you something new. Let me get my impulse back and we're good to go.

Nope. It would be a ton of fun, but given the fact that I don't drink, the chances are growing thin.

I will probably try figure everything out this weekend. Meaning new stream provider that runs from my netbook without any problems, the amount of time I can save up for chess, etc. I would like to play and stream tomorrow, but I really am not sure I'll be able to. At most I hope I can get my act together till next Saturday. I know I've been a slacker lately TL-wise.

Sometimes I also feel I could contribute more to other threads, but I'm kind of a lurker person and frankly... Not many people take their sweet two seconds to really think about let alone understand what I write about - even on TL. If the shoe doesn't fit...

That doesn't mean I don't love you all.

Hey Ng5, did you (or anyone else for that matter) happen to record that 24hr session that you ran a few weeks back? I am really interested in being able to catch up and watch it over a few days since I missed a good deal of it and really want to get back into Chess after a 16 year hiatus. I would love to devote some study time per day starting later this year, or next, and crank out a 2200 rating for NM title in the coming 10 years but being in my 30s, that goal seems harder and harder as the time goes by and 'kids' these days come in the NM/IM/GM variety shortly after birth.

Am I doomed? I should set my goals on just playing for fun and beating the 'average' 1200 raters during some OTB fun? Looking forward to more streams/feedback from you!

Dear Ng5, I'd like to ask how do you deal as black against a very early knight sac of7 after your nickname, that is Ng5.

Something like: 1e4... 2Bc4... 3Nf3... 4Ng5!?... 5 Nxf7 Kxf7 (I don't write the black's moves because there are several variations).

I'm very unconfortable in this situation, my king is exposed and also contributes to a bad pieces communication. His diagonals are open, his centre is fine, all this for the price of a knight for the f7 pawn.
Q. You've been criticized for using cheesy builds in the past, but now people are saying that you've played some good games today. A. I'm glad that they think that way, but that won't stop me from using cheesy builds.(oGsHyperdub)

Okay guys, here's some updates.

I will be back in from September. I will start streaming regulary, because it will finally be the first time I will have had good internet in 12 months. My campus internet screwed me up so much (and you can guess the speed they were repairing it with) that I couldn't even call home on Skype for eight months or so. (Of course they installed a new hotspot in my apartment the day I was moving out.)

I will do coverage for the US Chess Leagues explicitly for TL, which will either happen live, or if my timetable will not let it it will be a weekend coverage of games of the week. Either case it should be several hours weekly, by some very good players - some of which I have personal experience about.

Aside from that I want to start up kind of a 'state of the game' style streaming, it would be dual-weekly, most likely around 2-4 hours (from my previous experiences at least 4) of game/opening/position analysis or random rant on game psychology and other stuff.

I don't know if I myself will keep playing, I don't really feel like playing lately, but I really love teaching and talking about chess, so the rest is not much in danger. (Given I'll get proper internet *rant rant rant*).

I also have a special event in my mind which I will unveil later.

Until then I will try checking my mailbox and threads, so feel free to message me about anything. I will also try and cover the things that I neglected (meaning previous questions in my threads I have answered yet).

Anyway, this is getting longer than expected already.

Peace out,
Me
