So there’s this guy on chess.com, ChessTrainor, who’s “defending” the Sodium Attack (1. Na3) and perhaps even trying to name the opening named after himself (?). His support consists mostly of G/10 games against weaker competition.
Anyway, ChessTrainor responded to one of his detractors with the following:
your young and have no sense,Fischer is nothing compared to the Lord Jesus Christ.And yet in a passage of scriptures The Lord said,Greater things will he do,this is refering to someone else.And the reason for that is Jesus only live 33 years old so short a life so if some will live after him whose age is triple than him he is greater 3 x 33is 99years old in terms of life span many has surpass Jesus earthly life,So those are greater than him.Fischer only have 4 but mastered it so thats great and yet a have more than four openings if there such a word more greater or greater greater,i suppose.only in terms of numbers.I hope you understand simp,e english.CT
This is completely awesome. It’s a shame this is too long to put in the quotation rotation. In honor of ChessTrainor, I’ll go around the chess blogosphere, create an artificial argument if necessary, and randomly compare Bobby Fischer to Jesus Christ.
While the whole thing may be too long to put in the quotes:
Fischer only have 4 but mastered it so thats great and yet a have more than four openings if there such a word more greater or greater greater,i suppose.only in terms of numbers.I hope you understand simp,e english.
THAT is a classic that will live on long after humanity has forgotten you, me and even ChessTrainor. It is a Zen koan. Contemplate it long enough and you will achieve Samadhi or whatever that thing is.
I like the sodium because it appears on the periodic chart of elements. It provides that geek appeal. However, I won’t play it. Let me put it this way, I like women, but I won’t dress as one, unless it’s the right occasion of course…but the beard must stay.
Who would be the anti-Fischer?
@Robert: That is a capital idea, extracting part of the quote!
“Samadhi” is not the word, it might be “insanity”.
@Blunderprone: That’s the difference between you and me. If the target woman desires it, I will dress like a woman, if it gives me a chance with her.
Trying to figure out the anti-Fischer.
