Honestly, I doubt I'll be getting far enough into theory for move 8 stuff to even be a consideration. The next tournament I'm playing in will be an open so I guess it's possible that I'll get someone who is good, but most of the time on the internet or even OTB against people of my level you get...

Oh yes, what is the line recommended against the Scotch Gambit? That's my go-to as white. When I play against it, I normally go for something like 4... Nf6 5.e5 d5 6.Bb5 Ne4 to nullify white's development, but this normally results with doubled pawns on c6/c7, which can be a pain at times. Also...

I've got a coupon for 75% off FEIST if anyone wants it.

I think Ng5 was called bad by one of the old masters because it breaks principle and it's used as a means of getting into the Fried Liver (which itself isn't too well regarded because it tactically doesn't work or something), but it leads to the variations that people seem to like because it...

Yeah, fair points. I've been avoiding the Berlin simply because of its reputation at SuperGM-level, even though I know it's illogical. Also my current against 3.Bc4 is the Two Knights, which can be fun when you get a real game but online (i.e. all of my play for the past two years) absolutely...

If you find anything good, please let me know. I've been playing e5 for a while now and I'm still feeling uncomfortable with my choices against the Ruy and Italian. I've also consided putting the Alapin on hold for a while, in the hopes of finding something less line-based (considering I don't...

I guess so? Unless it's about a specific event, in which case you may as well just use the tournament's thread.

I used the same levels trick on the other one, just at a different level chosen to avoid the cutouts you can see in that version. Still, it's better than the jaggies so I've updated it. Thanks.

So CEOtaku seems like a strong option - what other events are there in the second half of the year? Just want to make sure all of the options are considered. EDIT: fixed

No transparency in the image so it looks kinda bad, but it's up.

Ok, I'll be putting this on the front page soon. Would "Main Stage" be the most appropriate text?

Didn't see it in this thread, so for history's sake I'm posting it here. Just found the pools image from EVO 2013 on the server - here.

After Defend the North in July, there's nothing on the front page until November. Any events in that timeframe that people are planning to focus on? There's Summer Jam in August and CEOtaku in September, at the least.

Just noticed there's a guy in my local interclub tournament with a rating of 282. How, even.

The wings seem to flicker because there's one frame where they are much bigger than in the adjacent frames, which makes them seem to flash. The head-bob seems unnatural but the neck looks fine - have you considered leaving the head in-place and either just keeping the neck gradient animation or...

I know I say this a lot, but second-hand sticks on ebay are usually a cost effective way of finding out if a stick is right for you, and even more so when you consider the outrageous prices you'd have to pay here for a new one.

Any chance someone can find me a logo that's suitable for use in an icon on the forum index? Thanks.

Can someone please try to source me a copy of the logo to use in the forum index icon?

He also just finished winning the US championship, which probably took most of his energy. It's also pretty unsurprising that Nakamura won the whole thing considering his record with faster time controls.
