:(you know who you are; Martinus - if that was really his name - was NEVER a champion. Despite his shallow claims he never lasted past the second round).
EXACTLY! That's what I'm on about! In an earlier post I mentioned my first published article on mid-second round positioning. That's where it's won or lost, my man! Martinus (though I never heard of him) and the whole linear/rational school of strategy to boot are blind as to how the mid-game mentality CREATES the options of the beginning and endgame. There's a great formula in RPS-Europa! (fall, 92)that a non-linear math whiz associate of mine came up with, lays it all out. Too bad about the Invitational. I was never invited, but I did play against some of the street bums outside (as opposed to the OTHER bums inside, heh!)
