I would like to play this opening with someone. Of course, I will play with blacks and the game can be rated or not rated. Needless to say, to be serious and not to use engine please. Anyone ready? Some requirements:
- Don't talk me "too much" during the game because I lose concentration; and to be polite.
- Caro-kann advance only, please. Classical variation could be discussed with knight in c3 or knight in d2.
- Hillbilly attack and knight f3 not allowed.
- Minimum rated 1700 in classical.
- Minimum games in classical 400.
- No blitz players with hardly any classical games, unless you tell me and promise me to think your moves.
- Recommended to have high average opponent over 1600
- Recommended to be subscribed to CIA forum
I hope somebody will play with me, and the requirements will not be very restrictive.
Interested send me a message or write in this post.
Have fun whoever!
Requirements are obviously to restrictive.
Man you are not even 1700 yourself and want to play 1700+.
You would get very lucky if you found such oponnent.
Nice, so you think your opponents will always play the Advance?
Nobody will join you are asking for too much when you are not even 1700 on classical. Also what the hell with promising you I will think my moves, lol?
You wont find anyone, get MCO, look at the lines and look for a chess master that plays the Caro Kann to study his games.
What do you think it is the most restrictive point?
Advanced variation is the most common but so is the modern variation and exchange. Karpov played the Caro often you should look into his stuff.
And what "- Hillbilly attack and knight f3 not allowed."
Nf3 is a decent move though.
Human, all points are restrictive. Why do I have to promise I will think my moves? That is just humillating. Why do I need to join the CIA? Why do I have to be over 1700 when you are just 1659? Why do I need to have at least a life in classical games here (400).
Be humble, and accept everyone that is up for some games if you dont want to play anymore against them after some games just tell them. You arent a Super GM.
" Why do I have to promise I will think my moves?" I was confused and sill am.
i want to learn the caro-advanced with white. We can play some 5min blitz if you want but not slower. feel free to add me.
Not enough restrictions in my opinion. He should get a urine sample and a background check too. You can never be too careful about who you play chess with on the internet.
Agreeing an opening in advance for a training game is probably an excellent idea. Matthew Sadler mentions it in the book "Chess for Life". He learned of the idea from one of the people he interviewed for the book, and then started doing it himself.
The difference was that as far as I can tell they got themselves a regular training partner, or maybe a few regular partners, rather than trying to find a person that wanted to play that particular opening. That means some weeks you get to practice an opening of interest to you, other weeks it might not be what you want to look at, but it's what your partner wants. It also means both people have to be willing to prepare and try out the agreed line, whether it's what they would normally play or not.
