One Players' Observations
Posted: Sat May 26, 2007 8:11 am
I have an observation I would like to share involving many of the games that I've played here at Net-Chess. Please do not misinterpret my intentions because I am simply a mere hobby player like most of you. I would just like to let it be known the many times so many of my opponents have let me off too easy when there were many other stronger moves that could have(should have) been made. I desire only to strengthen and uplift my opponents' games, in order to strengthen my own.
The particular moves that I speak about are a3/h3/a6 and h6. It seems that many of my opponents make these moves whenever the board has become congested with many options and perhaps they become confused regarding which option to persue. Don't get me wrong, these moves can be excellent limiting moves at the right time; but too often I see them made at the wrong time. I sometimes wonder if my opponents make these weak moves due to a lack of tactical and/or strategical knowledge, or could it be just plain ol' lazy .....?? I'm not sure .....
Anyway .... I have a thought about how we could possibly resolve some of this situation. I have always heard it said that if you're going to complain about something, at least give some thought to and have some positive recomendations and or solutions. Thus, I would be willing to play some 'non-rated narrative games' with anyone so inclined. The object being for each player to voice (by way of typed messages to one another) what they are thinking and why, as each contemplates the current board position and his next move. This would allow for some 2-way-over-the-board feedback and might prove to be very beneficial to many here...... myself included.
I'd be very interested to hear ANY feedback .... and Please remember that ..... I Share because I Care ! ! !
