I've never really gotten into the technical aspects of chess. As far as Nd2 e4 and all that jazz. I've always looked at chess from an emotional standpoint. As in that knight is a part of me. If my bishop is trapped I feel it. Maybe that's the reason I can't seem to make it past A 1700 rating. But I wouldn't change it if I could. I like to think as these pieces as my people. So I don't have A come out per say, I just play the game as it unfolds. I try to see my opponents next likely move and the move after that and so on and so forth. On the other hand I know some chess technicians that are hard to beat. And I imagine everyone has an emotional side to their game. I just think mine is more defined. At any rate tell me your opinion on this subject........until next time, viva la CHESS!
