Thanks.

You're welcome, Lyudmil.
Despite your outrageous claims and the disastrous chess.com threads that got out way out of hand because of your attempts to fight fire with fire I can't help feeling that in real life you are a great guy to shoot some bull (chess-related or not) over a few beers. That's a lot more than I can say about some posters here.

Out of 803 hand picked games, not even a single game for your talkchess family? At least we can discuss some games deeper. Because there's no analysis yet for any of those games, as you claimed.

Thanks Ted!
Disastrous, what do you mean, it can hardly get more disastrous than here.
"Shoot some bull over few beers" - have to check that in the dic.

What do you mean, I just posted one.
Now try refuting Bxa4 does not win for black.
This is my favourite forum(when Harm is not around), I would have posted here constantly, just too busy.

From your game:

[d]rr4k1/2nqbppp/1n2p3/3pP1B1/1ppP1Q2/p3NN1P/2P1BPP1/1R2R1K1 w - - 0 25

Here white plays Nd2 which is as bad as it gets, how about Ne3-g4? Could even win it for white. Against you I'm pretty sure SF would have won it.

There are other examples of bad play from white like 27. Bxe7 where Bg5-f6 would hold a draw.

You better come up with another example, your credibility is suffering.

I even downloaded Houdini 1.5 to check it's evaluation and yes, it suggests Nd2 the first 3 seconds on my slowish laptop. After that it's Ng4.

You can't be so clueless about randomness in move selection by engines, can you?

Score turns in black's favour.
Black is winning or sufficiently close to a win.

In analysis, it will turn out the same.
There are better moves for white, but there are better moves for BLACK TOO.

As you see, I have spent countless games, hours and analysis sessions before formulating my knowledge.
Concerning the validity of the 'spearhead connected passer' concept, I have formulated it explicitly, ONLY after seeing its validity corroborated in at least some 50-100 examples.

So that, all you are doing is insinuation.
Do your analysis better.

This will get out of had again.
I simply don't understand - why all this hostility to my work?
After all, I am not KILLING PEOPLE, I am just suggesting NEW CONCEPTS.

Well, the correspondence GM told me over there on Rybka forum:
"Lyudmil, don't pay attention to your detractors.
People hate the idea of adapting to new things."

Must be it...

PS. Anyway, I am just on my last to accept negative reactions.
Got too much of those...
