How Really Important is Keeping the Middle, Bridge, etc.

*Dusts off old forum*

Well I've been thinking for some time and well how really important is it? People say its important, but when other moves are better we have to often change our strategies.

So what do you guys think?

Re: Results of 2008 Youth tournament

Josh, no offense to you, but you've been harping on the case of the Youth and the rest of the Nationals for the past week. You seem to be the only one to have a problem with it and you didn't even go, so... It says in the rules for the National that the title goes to the highest scoring player 21 an...

I still am in Michigan. I just am on the western side of the state when I'm at college.

Re: 2008 A.C.F. 3- Move Nationals & Youth Ty.

Good day, everyone. It was refreshing to see old faces as well as new ones at the tourney this year. You always learn something new at a tournament. I watched a couple of Ron King's games and that really helped my game throughout the tournament. It was my first time to Vegas, so the lights and prett...

Re: 2007 Youth World Qualifier

besides honestly ....the desert doesnt change much cept in the winter it gets alot colder at night It sure does! Although it's still nothing compared to the winters of Minnesota (or any other northern state for that matter). I suppose it's all relative. --Ryan Don't remind me that I have to trudge ...

Re: 2007 Youth World Qualifier

In response to tommyc, Heh, who cares if it is desperate if it gets the message across and something is done with it? Thank you for your support. I will do what I can to push for a change of the dates at the very least. Even if we do fail to change it for this year, at least we can say that we took ...

Re: 2007 Youth World Qualifier

i like how your keeping on this corey u have any ideas? If you were to ask me I would first of all go to the WDCF and request a change. However, since I doubt that I could handle changing all of this alone I would need some extra help and here is where that begins. I would need to recruit some extr...

Re: 2007 Youth World Qualifier

So... the pressing question is: Are we going to impliment a "Plan B" for this event?

I do not like to be forceful when offering up an idea, but 2007 is fast approaching and we need to do something fast if we are to have the dates changed in time.

To gain something, you must first be willing to sacrifice something.

That can be said for all fronts.

Re: 2007 Youth World Qualifier

Dr. Beckwith, Prague did host a successful tournament, however, if my memory serves me right no American youth checker players were there. It may be easier to hold a tournament at a certain time for the adults. However, you still inconvenience the youth. I know it is not that cheap to set up separat...

Re: 2007 Youth World Qualifier

Unless I take a year off from school I will be unable to attend, I am sorry. This will also be difficult for Ryan since he's in college too.

Is there any way we can appeal for an earlier tournament?

2007 Youth World Qualifier

Hello everyone, I was just stopping by and wondering if anyone had an idea about when or where this will be held as well as how much will be invested into this (hey, I'm a college student things like this get a bit pricy:P) I assume there is some sort of bid taking place right now. Thanks for readin...

Weekly Wisdoms

Ugh, it's Tuesday already. I knew I'd forget about this, but anyway every week I will be posting seven wisdoms. I'll start off with the quote I held tightly to in the days of ZCR: If you do not try you have already failed. You can only satisfy revenge by being even more vengeful. Grudges must be let...

Re: Greetings From Corey Modich

I'll start those Daily Wisdoms on Monday and I'll udate them each week (wait that's not daily). I'll cover a good seven days so I don't forget to do that, as I have a tendency to forget things.

My comic site is nothing to brag about as of now. I'll post it up when it is finished.
