Shows me that I have to study even harder - Especially the endgame, something that Bonin seems to know how to handle just by playing a million games... If it was the first game to end I was quite unaware of that. I understand the frustration you have in losing to me every time - Multiply that by the frustration I feel when I lose to some 'randome IM' who only plays chess all the time and is not known for studying at all and yet keeps beating me (whatever the position), despite the fact that I specifically study chess with the goal of beating guys like him! And imagine how pleased I was that Alex Lenderman completely crushed him in the Queen's championship last night! (10-26-2007) In fact many of the players there seemed to enjoy it as like 5-guys brought me the game-score (I'm bulletin editor & Bonin is also known for not being able to write down his moves in a way that can be deciphered for publication). Seems quite a lot of people are even more annoyed about this player who always 'struts around like a parrot' & acts like the tournament is just there for him to win all the time!, Regards, Larrylarrytamarkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17301153577858838658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5114234807276194338.post-13790272832191438472007-10-27T02:08:00.000-04:002007-10-27T02:08:00.000-04:00And the beat goes on.

Instead I am looking to put chess players on youtube & I would be pleased to hear from anyone who is interested (See my recording of Dr. Frank Brady's lecture there). Larry S.
