Set Busy 2 To Quash Rude online Chess players

 Dear  Roman Martinez de Aragon, Madrid Spain, 

A simple response to your concerns regarding the rude, loutish, immature manners of many ICC blitz players is DON'T WORRY BE HAPPY. It is a relatively small percentage of an otherwise very civilized group of Cassia devotees. 

I know Marty Grund and he has done everything possible to deescalate the level of extreme incivility that exists at the internet chess club. A benefactor of the game we love is Joseph Ocol who advocates ignoring the malcontents who are in many cases 50 year old men who were picked on in high school or never really made their mark in life with multiple failed marriages.  USCF can deal with these pricks in face to fact tournaments, but online chess much more difficult to manage the startling abruptness of bitter old men who never matured passed adolescence. Patent lawyer Charles Slade has written incisively about the the rising prevalence of obnoxious and offensive acts concluding that ignoring them HURTS THEM THE MOST. The baby boys want attention. Just do not give it to them!!

I do hope my abogado amigo does not choose to terminate his ICC membership. Report the jerks and they will lose their chatting privileges with possible suspension of their accounts. I don't think Grund wants to do that since he would probably have to refund the ill-mannered punk's membership cost pro-rated.  I generally wish my opponents a good game to try to induce a friendly atmosphere in long games, but blitz and bullet bring out the worst behavior. 

Much love to you Karlo Mi compadre!!!

Another Defenseless Stonewall Dutch Formation

 Superboy playing out of the country Denmark loves playing the Stonewall Dutch and I equally love showing him how positionally bankrupt his opening choice is!

This particular Dutch Defense is characterized by voluntarily weakening all the dark squares and then allowing White to trade off the dark square guardian, the f8 Bishop! So Black is irrationally putting all his faith on the rigid c6,d5,e6,f5 pawn structure which leaves White with the juicy and unassailable e5 and d6 dark squares as outposts.

In the diagrammed position, Whites positional hegemony is manifest(one of Stu Rachels favorite words even though as a philosopher he uses very common language in his school classes, almost afraid of using the SAT exam type of vocabulary)

White can win with the pawn avalanche beginning with the tactically supported h5. Note that if the anemic bad bishop at e8 captures, then the knight fork Nd7 picks up the impotent Castle(Rook)

I doubt that even Krishna Prem really believes the Stonewall is a viable opening. Krishna has invested quite a bit of time in producing monetized YouTube videos advocating the Stonewall Dutch and could lose ad revenue if it was widely known it had been refuted!

Max Dlugy knew long ago that Nh3 refutes the entire setup CRUSHING D. Gurevich forcing the aloof GM to switch to the Slav Defense which his best friend Yermolinsky had long suggested.
