However, the chess version of this aggressive pugilist was the dead opposite not placing any of his pieces or pawns beyond the third rank! Who am I to complain though as IvanoDrago11 has induced me to overextend countless times and then dominated me in one sided end games. I did manage to exploit my space advantage by crushing him and his provocative play today. He ended up castling queenside behind a tattered pawn structure and was slowly suffocated in a Karpovian endgame.
Guys like Nimzovitch and Damian Lemos love this crouching "scared way" of playing our Royal Game in true Pterodactyl Defense style. Their mindset is good defense is as equally rewarded as an attacking manner of play, but I still wonder if people who play this way are gay bottoms? Also, solid performers and practitioners of he Hippo include Alessio De Santis,Eric Briffoz and Gary Gifford who market their books on the opening with phrases darkly, deceitfully, dreadfully, duplicitous or even dangerously deceptive. They disingenuously recommend the White Side of the opening hoping that Black will feel the need to refute it by overextending.
Sexual preferences aside, one has to admire this Hypermodern mindset and ones willingness to risk getting blown off the board for the reward of sneering at a blushing opponent for being over aggressive! So hip hip hooray for the Hippopotamus!!!
Oh yeah, all of your got the Rocky boxing movie reference?!
ccie1 from United Arab Immigrants UAE asks for take backs in 1 minute bullet and 3 minute blitz chess at ICC. If you don't feel like tolerating that immaturity and lack of accountability the solution is +noplay ccie1. this will add the punk to your NO PLAY list meaning he will automatically be rejected as possible opponent. Maybe its all that oil money that spoils them?
