I know a fair bit about chess organisation. That would take an unbelievable amount of organisation. A level of skill I am frankly not seeing in Chess.

It suggests I am not trusted in some way if its happening. not trusted by the chess establishment. My theory is i am not trusted by either the americans or russians for political reasons and the british establishment for mental health issues(a bad role model).

I will level with you. All these areas are really badly managed, with the political establishment not really caring for anything other than themselves. Be positive and just consider that chess players are getting better. Not super GM's and computers in a rubber mask.

i am both pro-american and pro-russian and an inclusive british nationalist and left wing not right wing a bit like the welsh nationalists(who are semi-communist and not extremely so because they are proud to be welsh and arent soviet puppets), i am not a communist but i believe as a liberal in propper diversity.

Diversity does not mean one culture giving into another it means all cultures being fully respected.

I don't know who you mean by "them", but what professional chess player angles are open to a 1600 player?

Legitimately teaching/training and illegitimately sandbagging are the two that come to mind.

The thing that stops me being a professional chess player is having insufficient talent. I think that is also true of Alan and almost everyone else active on this forum.

This is starting to look an awful lot like the twaddle that got you banned from Lichess four years ago and suspended from this site for seven days only last week.

I will just interject at this point to observe that it is very unlikely that *all* of Alan's posts here are meant to be 100% serious.

Though as ever, detecting them from the genuinely meant ones is often not very easy in an online format.

Is the person stopping AL from becoming a professional chess player living in an aircraft hanger at Luton airport and called "Spiny Norman"?

He used to stalk the Piranha Brothers and prevented them from conducting their various protection rackets.

On the other hand, you don't believe a word that you're saying. Which means you are in fact a communist.
