Mr Chessguru, I wish you goodluck-or should i say buhari... Anyway,while I may not be very good at chess openings,my middlegames and endgames are better,and I believe I can give you a run for your money.My question is: Are you based in Lagos? |

Nice to know you have high hope about your chess career.just wanna comment about the smith-morra gambit against the sicilian. You rarely see this gambit at the grandmaster level cos black can easily refute this. In my opinion its not a sound gambit. chessguru: |

Chess is such a wonderful game...Playing online isn't great cos of our useless network here... I play online via Jagplay and sometimes Mxit...Russians and guys from the state are quite good... |
Re: ROAD TO GRANDMASTER - By Akinov !! by gmobik: 10:02pm On Apr 03, 2015 |
I'm on chess.com as well, user name JohnObik Available for a game. I believe if I had stuck in to Chess I'd have been challenging for the world championship title if not the absolute best. I was once called the beast of Baku, just like my favorite Gm. I could still give a decent game. Books are you best route. Russian books |

Re: ROAD TO GRANDMASTER - By Akinov !! by prof800(m): 10:47pm On Apr 03, 2015 |
I do not think Akinov is bragging. He is just a man with some balls. Or a lot of balls. Nigeria doesn't have a grandmaster. Being grandmaster is a very difficult feat. Might take several years to attain. Plus I've met some masters who have given up on becoming grandmasters. I just wish him all the best. 2 Likes |

Re: ROAD TO GRANDMASTER - By Akinov !! by 817: 11:25pm On Apr 03, 2015 |
Akinov, I admire your passion for Chess. I see you have openings (raw lines) as part of your prep. I suggest you first understand your chess personality. Are you cast in the mould of a Tal, Kasparov, Fisher or are more conservative and risk averse like Karpov or the current world champion Magnus Carlsen. This would determine the openings you would focus on developing as part of your arsenal. Second I suggest you get the Houdini or Komodo Chess commercial Engines from chess base. They are arguably the 2 strongest chess engines in the World and come packaged with a lot of analytical features which every serious chess player must have. Goodluck on your endeavor. |

Re: ROAD TO GRANDMASTER - By Akinov !! by Nobody: 12:05am On Apr 04, 2015 |
Good try Akinov. I am a class A player but will not lose sleep over becoming an expert or master because I see no use for that. A GM once said 'nowadays, if u dont become a GM at 13 years old, u might as well forget it'. We start too late in Africa on every issue then rev our engines to maximum in order to catch up with foreigners who go slow and steady but started early. All d best |
Re: ROAD TO GRANDMASTER - By Akinov !! by chessguru(m): 12:31am On Apr 04, 2015 |
Sincerely speaking , i was not expecting my 'secret' thread which was meant to be some kind of diary to HIT THE FRONT PAGE i was away at the chess club to play against some tough guy who beat me 5-3 yesterday and guess what the revenge was sweet, it ended 9-3 today in total (in my favour) 1 of his victory was to let me go home as he does not like to lose the last game (SMH) @ kaycshine i am so sorry if you still think i am bragging , i am the most vocal voice in Nigerian chess , not because i like the sound of my voice but First because i love this game with so much passion but because i live in a place where we do not have much Chess activities like in Lagos, i have to look for a way to release the passion else it will destroy me.... i let lose the chess venom in me by being a Chess blogger, commentator, promoter , manager and coach. I was the chess coach of a university and a whole state all of which yielded GOLD medals to the glory of the king of kings. I am the Manager of the current number one ranked chess player in Nigeria and i hope he will get sponsorship to Egypt to play at the African Individual before month end. (These are facts about to state a few things about my Chess and i) this thread is not about bragging but about my personal chess diary/ quest putting it out here is to share my passion and also to motivate me to train towards becoming National Champion later this year. i Promote chess by default** @ prof800 Thank you very much !! ![]() @ ibnquasale i am online , i am on time , chess sharpens the analytic and cognitive skills of mankind @817 you are sighted !! i have 15 Chess engines at my disposal... houdini, Rybka, stockfish, Crafty,Fritz ETC @trappatoni Smith Morra Gambit is a weapon against the Sicilian, it is fun to play and chess is fun !! @raumdeuter i have not played any of the players you mentioned , Bomo Kigigha is the current National champion and he is a friend.... they are all my friends, i am preparing to tackle any of them IM Oladapo Adu just qualified to play at the FIDE chess world cup taking place in Russia later this year after winning Zone 4.4 Tournament in Togo where Nigerians dominated he was on channels TV some 3 hours ago speaking about his success. @idupaul i am Akinov prime ' I carry in me the venom of a thousand GRAND MASTERS ** not that is bragging** @ Sheikwonder i am not based in Lagos, 2 Likes |
