Oh, and yes, let's use international notation; I much prefer it. So e4 instead of KP4.

Don't worry; I am certainly no better now due to the long time I have not played. Maybe we should play against each other one day. I use many different openings, though usually I open with either KP4 or QP4. But I have used other openings too, like King's Fianchetto or Larsen opening. Once I even tried Orangutan, also known as Sokolsky opening. You can play almosr anything, as Miles once demonstrated when with the black stones he answered QRP3 and QNP4 to his opponent's opening of KP4 and QP4 (and winning, though probably out of surprise by his opponent).

You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

P-K4 (e4) best by test per RJ Fischer
I don't always play this but most of the time I do.
P-Kb3 only works when you follow it with P-KN4, right? |
I would not say "test"; it was just his opinion; he always opened that way With one remarkable exception: In his 1972 match world championship match against Spasski he occasionally opened with PQB4 and PQ4 too for the first time, and successfully too.. Psychology, because Spasski did not expect that at all. He even played Queen's gambit, an opening which he had before officially condemned.

Generally, I'd usually follow with P-K4, allows the bishop to be brought into play early, gives the knight some leeway mid-board & depending on your opponent, allows an early castling move to bring in the rook |
I was joking, I just described the opening for Fool's Mate.
P-KB3 is not a move I favor unless you're going to castle queenside. But what works for you works.

Ohh you play RTS - Love it myself - have a mate and we play a lot together - together in teamers or 1v1.
But im not good, too old too slow  What do you play ? |
I've been playing Starcraft II since it's new and active, but I still prefer Starcraft and Warcraft III. I play Warcraft III most actively. It's just frustrating play a game with a dead community and developers who have lost interest.

Play SC II & COH both great games, and very diffrent

I'd be curious what you've written about chess.
Poker is just probability and psychology. The second part is more interesting to me. But you can make a lot of money in the right crowd. |
I've done some basic game theoretic stuff, but the game's too complex to really model that way. I mostly deal with knight's tour and other curiosities. I'm interested in using them for random creation processes in music which will retain a symmetry. The psychology of poker bores me. I usually play online and multitable which pretty much eliminates most psychological elements.

I played a little while ago (maybe 6 months ago), on my computer because my internet was down for a few days. Before that, I hadn't played for close to 10 years. Playing those recent times, helped get back into it, and now I can play pretty well again. But I still haven't played since that last time.
