SSLC Score Chess Name

Many chess players lean towards antisocial if one is pressed to classify psychology. ICC players often have what appears to be random handles or names as their playing moniker. However the Indian player with the name karthick496 struck one as quite an information packed handle.

Indeed, it is related to a Scholastic Excellence Award where the 496 is the number of marks earned on a SSLC exam. Incidentally M.Prabhakaran won top honors with 497 marks way back in 2013. 

What does this have to do with Chess, American Jew Hater Bobby Fischer, would query? The guy with the exemplary score of 496 played 1. f4 allowing Black to take the initiative less than 10 moves into the game. This often happens when people try to play reverse openings like the Dutch Defense with White. Does anybody know if D. Gurevich still plays what many GMs consider an unsound opening? Somebody was saying he tutors rich Chicago kids for around $125 an hour which is better than living under a bridge like some high rated chess paupers. 

If you must know SSLC stands for Secondary School Leaving Certificate in India. It appears to be a test you have to pass to "graduate from 10th grade". Would be a good idea for American Public Schools who routinely graduate illiterate people not qualified to enter the work force or live independently.

Finally, chess commentator Stefan Emanuel Sylvester Kindermann, is the only player of any repute who really advocates the Dutch King as an active piece in endings. The Austrian book writer is quite personal in his exposition referencing wine sipping during  postmortems, adjournments and game analysis.  He is right! After the g7 fianchetto Bishop is gone, the a1-h8 diagonal becomes a super highway.

Flummoxed Swiss Chess player,

Bouby, from Switzerland, had played almost perfectly in this chess game having overcome challenging tactical issues in the late middle game.

However, the Swiss Jugadore played too conservatively and eventually blundered with a King move that allowed White to jettison(a term Houston/Atascosita chess teacher Clarence Yeung loves to use with his students) his h-pawn.

Despite Black's menacing central pawn mass, White went on to win the ending due to her actively placed King on d5 square in this Internet Chess Club blitz game that arose from the Bird's Opening.  I am certain that Jon Ludvig Hammer would not be shocked at the result of this game as he is a specialist in taking chances with activating his monarch with the heavy pieces still on the board, much like Nigel Short who deviously and bravely marched his king to h6 supporting a checkmate at g7 with Timman's Queen still roaming the board freely!!!!!

And Mr. Short, many female American atheists admire your willingness to stand up to the idiots who "pray to their fictitious" God for a win in a chess game!!! We are so astonished that "intelligent players of the Royal Game" could possibly believe there is some invisible force that gives a damn about the result of a board game!!! Belief in a a benevolent supreme being is the most large scale mass delusion in the history of the human animal!!!
