What?! YOU pre-juiced!??? e4, white wins by force! Napoleon said to the effect (I don't do French) "I command the greatest army in the world and nations fall before me. Why can't I manage 16 men on a field 8 by 8?" He was only a mediocre player. Yes, it takes a person of great ego and logical brilliance to be a chess champion.

J of K, congratulations for enduring against one of the luminaries of the game. I played Doug Root in a tournament in Bakersfield CA in the 70s. I think he was about 11 years old and he dismantled me so quick I couldn't believe it. He was a child prodigy but I think he lost steam or interest in young adulthood. I don't know but he dropped below my radar which was refocusing on other things by that time.
