Then what kind of a dragon would that be?

Oh, you mean you develop a new game for free but it's just like Tanki, yes? Cool. What's stopping you?

Or maybe like.... That was what I felt like when I obtained and jacked up Firebird-M2.

You didn't answer my question. Would you volunteer your time to help develop/Program Tanki?

Another quality article!

Would you volunteer your time to help develop/program Tanki? Maybe they need your ideas.

That is a contradiction. Counter-attacking is something like for black with the Latvian Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 f5). There is nothing defensive about counter-attacking. Do you mean you go ultra-active and counter-attack? "Russians do not retreat!" ~~ GM Alexander Ivanov

How is this racist?

What? I've been playing chess for 40 years. I never got higher than 1858 USCF, but then again I played tournaments sparingly after high school. I could have been a master already, but I did not have the money and resources at the time since college took away a lot of my free time. A lot of my 'chess friends' have gone on to be master, but then they spent all their time at chess. If the odds are heavily against you, it is the higher-rated player that has much more to lose. Even if you believe you cannot win it is sometimes best to trymake them sweat a little bit. Down't play passively and let him roll over you. It's fun that a low-ranked player can make masters sweat a little. I play the Open Game (1.e4 e5) for both sides), basically the Two Knights Defense, but specialized (for my level) The Berlin Defense, same variation used by Kramnik back in 2000 with his Championship match against Kasparov. The book is 'The Berlin Wall' by John Cox. I find it a very interesting read. Every year on Presidents' Day weekend there is the USATE (amateur team tournament). I've played in that once, it was pretty fun.

My best game was a few years ago where I was able to draw an IM.

Blitz and Bullet chess is fun!

Ah, so you play Team-Pong. That Best Helper paint looks nice, like it came fresh out of the car wash. + Gratz on that. P.S. Does 20% against any turret make a difference?

It is a big step to admitting that.

Like when a tank isn't respawning.

Gratz!

I guess it feels better to jump on a winning team. OK, I'll try it your way..... :P

Ignore the clan paint requirement. It is not worth the worry.

You mean 'gnug' leader? :D

I see chess is incorporated with the play of Russian tankers. They play aggressive, attack with all 'pieces in coordination' and, at the very least, position themselves to control the center of the battlefield - just like controlling the center of the board as it is the shortest distance to all points of the board so mobilization comes quite easy that way. Many beginners are enamored with openings (turret/hull combinations), but in the end it is the mastery of tactics and technique (knowing your tank's strength and weaknesses and using the environment to your advantage) that count the most.

It's a workhorse, though.

I almost became a battle moderator. But the commands do not work on a Mac.

W-what??? :huh:

I've been doing you laundry and having your car washed and mowing your lawn all this time and now you say applying is free?

I don't use credit card, but we can work something out. :) B) :ph34r:

Yeah, it is more dead than my skills.
