Who hates 1e4, e5? — I have a total hatred of symmetrical king pawn openings and have not participated in one for years and hundreds of games. I am not sure if this is because these games don't suit my style as black or white, or if it is because these games remind me of when I was learning to play and loosing almost e, play online chess ...

Around Dutch defence — a) Dutch defence (1. d4 f5) isn't very popular in top rated ames, is it? How do you think - why?
b) Anyway, there're Dutch players - and in Gameknot as well. It is interesting, which variation they play? Dutch defence players, - your word! Which schema does White ussually plays against you?

The X-Rated Albin Counter-Gambit — This article by Andrew Martin, which Martin admits himself is propaganda in favor of the opening, inspired me to buy Martin's DVD on the opening.

Help ! (with openings) — Im trying to learn something about opening theory.

Short Draws — Should players be banned from making draw offers in an attempt to make chess more marketable? Absolutely not in general. Draw is a natural result of a chess game, besides noone has the right to interfere with the players' free will (except captains in team play).
So:

Are quick draws ever a good thing? — I don't think so.
However I did agree to a very quick draw two weekends ago in a situation where I didn't feel comfortable. Looking back on the game and the position, I still don't know whether I made a good decision or not. But I think my position could not have been much worse if it was any , play online chess ...

openings — More and more I believe that it has no sense to know openings. I mean openings that are famous like sicilian,caro-kan,french,petroff and so on. Also openings with d4 with a name. Because for me in 90% of my games from the beginning my opponents take a different way.moves that not can be found in boo, play online chess ...
Simplification — 'Simplification'
this is something I do a lot these days, the process of trying to win, even by the smallest of margins because I know what I need to secure the mate.
OK, so I basically do not allow my opponent any counter play and simplifying whittles the position down to terms that prov, play online chess ...
am i right? — i've had a bit of good luck recently and my rating's improved to the point where i'm now regularly playing 1500+ rated players (who are all way better than me in my opinion, but that's another matter)...

Philidor Position? — Recently I studied the Philidor and Lucena Positions. Although the Lucena is straightforward enough, I understand the basics of the Philidor but am not sure about how to apply it in an actual game situation or when exactly it comes up. I just finished this game, and I think that around move 66 I mis, play online chess ...

Novice Nook #72 — Well, we've moved into the 2007 articles with this week's entry. It's entitled "Trading Pawns When Ahead" and provides a number of straightforward examples of when to trade and when not to trade pawns. For the most part, pretty simple, but worth a look.
