Concerning Eugene:
I admire his sense of humour most off the times.
But his results and way of playing chess here make me sick!!
See the results page: very stupid losses against weaker players (excuse me), when the rating is too high lose 14 games in a row. Not special, if not Eugene awakes against very strong opponents, as now f.e. cnita or cleenders. We all sometimes play changeable, but this is not normal. If you don't believe me: look at the games...

so if you don't like his play, why play him? Lord another crybaby. You don't like it, I think you need to look at yourself first before you attack another player..... especially one that is going through some tough times.

Dear Eugene,

1) I didn't resign 2 games against you, you resigned one too.
2) As I said before, my biggest frustration was, you didn't answer 2 or 3 moves long my question why you played this opening.
3) A player who resigns in games as 1105094312 and 1105094314 for example, I don't take serious!!
4) Your invitation for playing you in a couple of games makes no sense, because you only play real chess in a site-tournament. For the other games your son makes moves or you resign in clearly won positions.
5) Despite all: I wish you all the best in your not so healthy position!! Hope you're with us for many years!!

I don't see the need to feel insulted over a players choice of opening. There are always going to be players that feel the need to play unorthodox openings because want to try something different or that they believe the only chance that they have to win is to surprise their opponent. I've got no problems with those types of openings because I'd rather encounter them here when the games don't matter than in a tournament where the games mean more to me.

As far as the resigning won or equal positions, the only reasonable explanation is if ecperreault is avoiding a timeout by resigning. I do understand that he is currently dealing with health issues. But a glance of the two games that were provided don't show a clear reason why he resigned those games..

While I can understand the desire to avoid games against ecperrault becuase of that chance that he will play an unorthodox opening, you can side step that by choosing a thematic match. Then you will be able to avoid the completely crazy openings and play something that's more in your comfort zone.

It seems I hurt you. Why not react as a man? Why don't you make an account for your son, to let him learn chess? (f.e ecperreaultjr). What is the learning of resigning very winning positions? Why not letting your son play against cleenders or cnita? He will learn a lot!! Why so upset? Am I right? Why not reacting in a very little sentence on my last wish?? Why not saying in point 1 and 2 you weren't right??? Why talk about holiday-cards? Why talking about my (not-)concerning about the youth, where you don't know anything from me?? Why call greg? Where is your common sense?

Why should it matter if someone resigns or plays his/her openings? Who gives a rat ***? Good god what is it with you chess nerds that the littlest stupid sh** bothers you? Good lord grow up.

"It seems I hurt you. Why not react as a man?"

You question his choice of openings. When he challenges you to a match where you can guarantee that the opening won't be one of his offbeat choices, you avoid the challenge by stating that he will resign early (There is no way to tell now why he resigned the games that you provided) or "not play real chess."

Right now, ecperreault is the only one acting like a man. You question his honor, but you are giving him no chance to prove that you are wrong in all of your accusations. If you were going to play, I'm pretty sure that he wants to handle these games himself. So I see no reason for you to avoid him.

He didn't need to ask for my support. You made a comment that didn't need to be made and is coming very close to starting a flame war. The only point that I agree with you on is starting a separate account. All of your other statements are using past events as proof to what will happen in the future. You haven't proven anything to me and that is why I am responding to your posts.

I'm sorry. I was under the impression that you shared an account. I understand that you don't want to share his account name. I wouldn't put up that type of information either.

I honestly don't care if you did share an account. I don't take the games on this site seriously because losing doesn't cost me anything here. My opponent could consult with a stronger player, use a computer or do anything in the world that would give him a competitive advantage over me and I would have no problem with the result of the game. Once it is over, I'll have a game that I can review and see how I can improve as a player.

Guys, in my opinion this discussion on selecting unusual openings is absolutely pointless. Lasker, who was world champion in chess as well as a famous mathematician once was asked by a journalist if he preferred mathematics or chess. His answer was swift as well as short. “Chess”- “Dr. Lasker can you please explain to our readers why you prefer chess?”-“Well if I solve a complex mathematical problem another mathematician can come and claim that he has a more elegant solution and therefore is the superior scientist. If someone would make a similar claim in chess I simply can checkmate him!”
Let us all follow Laskers's advice: If we do not agree with the moves of our partners let us proof on the board that we know better.

The point I tried to mane is NOT the unusual openings, as you can read in the 1st post. I didn't even mention it. I'm not recalling old discussions...Look above who starts speaking about 1..,a6 and so on...
The point I tried to make was the unusual resigning in clearly won positions.
Now the son has his own account, nice. But why say then the son makes moves on your account, and then say he doesn't?
@ dstephens and flyingtiger: as you see the problem isn't the opening question. Thanks for reacting, but that's not the issue.

Nor is there a need for you to question how some one plays.Your the one that started the thread not me. So either back up your words or I think you need to shut it pretty quickly since your making yourself look like an .. Either way I could give a **** how you feel.

Don't want to spread any unpleasantness;but I have to say,my thinking is not to worry about what others do unless its harmful or directly causes you some problem or other. How others choose to play I don't really see as anyone's business but their own. Also bear in mind that not everyone is as competitive or takes things as seriously as others. Also you don't neccesarily know what's going on behind the scenes either.

Case in point;I can recall at least 1 draw with Islanderfan where I had a won position. However,we were both kinda stressed at the time over various things & both very unhappy with our play (one screw up after another). Many might say play on,play to win! However,I play for fun. I'm not trying to impress anyone (fortunately,lol),I don't think winning is everything, & I'm not overly concerned with rating points. That said,we both just wanted the game over & tucked away in the "try to forget about it" file. Sure I could have won (barring any more stupid errors), but I wanted it finished more than I wanted a win. Don't see how that's much different than the resignations you mentioned,but why should it be a problem for anyone? I've also resigned games,I thought I might be unable to finish regardless of how the position was because that's the courteous thing to do.

Basically,don't judge the actions because you can't know all the facts. Honestly,you're not even owed an explanation either because this involved interactions between other folks that didn't involve you. Not trying to be nasty,just making a point. Hope this lengthy response got my point across without offending anyone,as that was not my intent.

I enjoy Chess for the fun and comfort of it!

If I face an odd opening, then I take it upon myself to show why that opening is wrong, and have fun with it !
I'm never insulted by anyone's choice of openings, I look at it as another challenge and as is been recorded; Anthony Miles BEAT Anatoly Karpov in his prime in the early 1980's with the opening move 1.e4, a6!?, so no judging a book by its cover:)

This site should be fun and entertaining and very , very non judgemental!
We all need to work to make it better and more friendly for others and Id say this would include not being easily offended or take exception to a players choices of opening..
It is ALL CHESS and that is what we are here for !!:)

WHEEEE Its a weekend!!

You might not want to recall old discussions but this is the second time that you have criticized how ecperreault plays on this forum. You are right in saying that you weren't originally saying that you have a problem with how he plays in the opening. But when you make comments like "because you only play real chess in a site-tournament," it seems like that you are talking about his openings since he mentioned it first.
Like I've said before, you can show past games that ecperreault resigned, but you can not show why he resigned those games. He might have a good position against an opponent but if he is unable to finish the game, he can either take a time forfeit (unlikely because he hasn't forfeited a game yet) or resign the game. Since the motives behind the resignations aren't clear, it is not fair to ecperreault to criticize him because he resigns those type of positions.

Ultimately, the main problem that I have is that you are using a public forum to criticize another player over issues that aren't very important. You could have used a private message to settle your problem with ecperreault but instead you went public with it. That is why I felt the need to step in.

With that being said, it is best for everybody to just back off of this topic and just play. Facts are getting lost in translation and continuing to argue about this will only bring us more stress.

@islanderfan:apology accepted, though it hurts to remember tragical moments in my life. You couldn't know..
@dstephens: thanks for the reasonable reaction
@the world: eugene and I played 2 rated games this evening (1105102869 and 1105102870):: I won both within 5 moves. As you remember Eugene challenged me, and I accepted, but it appears that he only did it to make the most severe insults. Be happy you can't read back his move comments. I thought it was an attempt to reconciliation, but there came a huge amount of xxxx over me...
@ecperreault: you refused my hand to normalize our relation in a very rough way. I can quote from the comments in your games with islanderfan, but I won't do now. I tried really to play and help our quarrel out off the world. It appears impossible, and that's a pity. Everybody who reads your nice humorous reports: enjoy them! I won't, because I met another Eugene....

cmulligan

You're right,that's what must have happened.Thank you for taking the time to explain this to me... I'm serious. My infrequent posts over the years could easily have gotten through because no one else was submitting at precisely the same
moment.

Regarding my post which didn't get through , I'd like to update my thoughts in the form of a few comments to boeien:
1) As you observed, Eugene's real motive in challenging you to a 2 game match was to respond to your public criticisms of him by going off-forum. In view of your prior forum complaints about his sometimes resigning games for no obvious reason,
your crediting yourself for beating him within 5 moves in both games is rather ridiculous.In neither game had you in any way beaten him. He resigned the games simply because he'd gotten off his chest whatever he'd wanted to convey to you and didn't wish to have any further association with you.
2) In answer to your question about why Eugene brought Greg into his forum answers to your forum posts,I would have thought that you'd realize it represented his unwillingness to have any more DIRECT forum involvement with you.
3) Except in cases where it would unfairly impact an ongoing tournament or artificially inflate another player's rating, it's nobody else's business why or when Eugene chooses to resign a game and he owes no one any explanation.
4) I think you seriously underestimate Eugene's true chess skills and wish to go on record in stating that I consider them well-advanced and uniquely challenging.

Without intending any slight to you,
David
