I will be there again this year Alan. Looking foward to seeing everyone again.

The greatest paradox of scientific checker playing is that the player who loses the game sometimes demonstrates greater virtues and abilities than the winner

I disagree with Mr. Ryan on this matter: all these thoughts - loser excuses and loser psychology.

Well, this is coming from a GrandMaster. He never went into a game thinking he was going to lose, he was just implying that even if he lost..he sometime showed better virtues than his opponent. Everyone has there opinion....

i think it means the tactics involved in trying not to lose and the desperation perhaps trying to escape
opening the mind as much as the skill involved in not getting into such a situation
