Instead of appearing agressive, you should work on not losing to 700 players.

Maybe he's the person who played the match.

He's the guy fro thunderbirds
Might as well be called the Dick Tracy gambit.
There's a great story about Fischer losing to some guy in this at a simul. He said it was a 'blindspot?' so maybe he was just playing all his first moves very quickly and didn't really see the board?
Chicago Tribune, March 24th 1964, Sect.3 p.1:

<A sailor from Great Lakes Naval Training station using a new technique - the conference method - was the only one of 54 chess players to defeat Bobby Fischer, former national champion, last night in the final of the young grand master's two-day chess marathon in the Edgewater Beach hotel. Fischer, 21, lost to Gary Thornell, described by a member of the Chicago Chess Foundation as an average player, during a five-hour session last night after he had won 56 games, drawn 11 and lost four matches Sunday in a 9 1/2-hour session. Three grand masters stood behind Thornell and when Fischer turned away, they coached the sailor. At the conclusion of the evening's play Fischer, who drew four games besides losing to Thornell, said the Chicago players were the best he has faced during his nationwide tour.> |
