I believe it's totally random if you get white or black first. Just a strange roll of the dice. Look at it this way: First you draw everbody with black, then you beat everybody with white

What's the joke in that screenshot, Gustaran?

What's the joke in that screenshot, Gustaran?

I don't know if it's really a joke. It's a screenshot from the latest Chessbase training on the French defense, which shows exactly the position me and pindicator have on the board in our game.

(I'm trying to scare him )

Nah, bring on all the GMs. I'll lose to all of them

Well, tournament #3 has an average rating of almost 1500, which is quite high if you ask me. Then again, I take every opponent seriously:

The average may be higher, considering early on Yuris is playing like he is at least the equal of us 1500-rated folks and he's still provisional. I think this will be the most competitive one yet, so maybe we can get you for a loss yet

I just hope I win a game...

Humble brag: First win in 12 moves (mate in 3 is coming)

In case anyone is still looking for some opening support, I would like to point to my "Free chess software" thread:

heh, my style of play is to lull everyone into thinking I know what I'm doing, and then make a trivial mistake (hang a piece or something)

[pindicator]

I hate it when i see a reason not to make a first move, check other moves, and then forget the first thing i saw and make that first move anyway

Well my first game finished in a boring draw
