Decently here, thought I hadn't started for serious yet and I should catch up some things (i'm talking about small stuff here, a extra hour or so). I don't want to fall behind as I did one year ago...  Laziness and having a hard period through my life during that moment... I could blame on alot.  |

Originally posted by KaradurOriginally posted by Uly It's a shame, that's why I don't want to talk about it... I teach chess, the problem is that my rating is 1300 (It varies from test to test and in practice, I beat a +2100 rated player once), that means I'm very weak, so my good students give me trouble. So the most annoying thing is explaining them the castle rights, the enpassant, and the minor promotions (They're always like WHAT?? IF I CAN PROMOTE TO QUEEN WHY WOULD I WANT A BISHOP?? and such...). But there are few very good exeptions that are very strong, and so they ridiculize me on the class, point my errors and ruin my life... Like I used to do to math teachers when I was in high school... Life is just revenging... I'm on vacations right now, back to teach chess in February 7th, wish me good luck. |

I see. I wouldn't be ashamed of doing that, as it's definitely something not all of us can say we do (teaching something, that is).Originally posted by Uly  That sounds confusing enough right there. Although I don't play chess, so that would explain a bit of it  I never had the opportunity to make fun of my teachers for making mistakes in class, although it sounds like something that'd get you sent down to the office Here's another random question for any of you to answer: what do you like (or did like, if you're out of school) the best about school? |

| @Karadur: Minor promotion is when you are winning the game, have a position in where promoting your pawn to queen stalesmates the opponent, and so you better promote to something else (Like Rook), they have problems understanding that, I have to give a LOT of examples till they understand... Still in excercises they pick rook instead of Knight and other annoying errors. I still prefer being the teacher... And I like the school's girls the most, "they come in a big variety of cute variations"... But I've never have found 1 I like to be my girlfriend or even a friend for that matter... They still smile to me and talk about their problems... Aside from the girls, I HATED school, being teacher cannot be considered like school... Edit: Got rid of quotes.

| Oh, yeah, I like chess. We play it every now and then at work. Only problem is that our breaks are too short. And one of the people at work is the Northern Norwegian Chess Champion. He plays in real tournaments, and such. That doesn't mean that *I* am very good, though. |

| Here's a good question...why WOULDN'T you promote to Queen when you got the opportunity?...unless it throws a match to stalemate. | |||

| Well, I can see situations where knights would be more useful. Also Trap, Chess doesn't take THAT long to play... Maybe an hour at the most... |

| The best way to play chess is speed chess, where all moves must be made in two seconds or less... unfortunately, whenever I play with friends, we always break that rule |

Originally posted by Uly Truthfully, I was wondering why you'd promote to anything other than queen (Except maybe Knight in selected circumstances)...now I understand. |

Originally posted by neotransotakuI should test doing that, apparently one of my teachers are very good on that game. ...well he have one of the highest IQ's in the country, so that's not really odd. I do have gift to do well on chess, I just need training... against good opponents. |
