It seems some pool players also enjoy high level checkers play. Who'd have thought there was such a thing?

Can anyone explain the trunk lines to the "Bristol Cross" and the "Ayershire Lassie" in checkers?

Is it because you're aiming to play better checkers that you posted in this forum? You'd get more input if the thread was posted in the general or off topic forum. Maybe Mr. Wilson will move it for you.

No it's because I know there are some enthusiasts in this forum. It all ties in with aiming, trust me.

Checkers is thoroughly misunderstood by most. I get tired of the phrase, "He's playing checkers while So and so is playing chess."

Most don't realize that one can become a chess master in about 2-4 years with 8 hour days of work.
Checkers is another story......It would take 10 years with 8-10 hours a day of work to become a master at checkers.

Well I just knew you were another checkers expert! I got the Bristol Cross stuff from Low500. He's also a retired schoolteacher and is a checkers expert. He's also a HUGE fan of yours (thinks you are brilliant) and hasn't stopped talking about CTE, which only took him 1 week to learn. You might consider responding to some of his posts because while he's been idolizing you, you've ignored every post he's made. I have a lot more observations, but I'll let Low500 chime in on his own behalf, if he chooses. I'm still curious what the Bristol Cross and Ayershire Lassie are. Low500, care to share?

You are incorrect! I am no expert at checkers but was around it for a good portion of my life.
My father authored 3 books on Checkers:
America's Best Checkers
The Tinsley Way
World Class Checkers

I spent time with the best players that ever lived...Tinsley and Lafferty and many others.
Don Lafferty was as solid pool player to boot.

You can search Robert L. Shuffett if you need more. He won numerous state events and was nationally ranked.

Man, I just knew you had brains!
Knowing Marion Tinsley is like walking with one of the disciples in the gospels.....(no sacrilegious intent meant).
I haven't played seriously in so long, I don't think I could even force someone into First Position anymore.....(even with The Move).
Congrats to you.

Stan, now that you two retired schoolteacher -- checkers expert -- CTE loving -- Poolology hating individuals have been introduced, let me recap the wonderful things Low500 has been saying about you and CTE after learning it in 1 week. You must have missed these posts because you never thanked or acknowledged Low500 in any way, ever, so here's your chance to make up for that:

As far as Poolology goes, "hate" is a strong word, but maybe fitting even so. Stan, if you recall, you entered my Poolology thread, which had nothing to do with CTE. Your only post was to announce that you were leaving the forum:

Luckily for you, Low500 had recently opened an account on AZ and started his hateful speech (which he said he was against) against both Poolology and Brian personally. Just as you bowed out and haven't posted in three weeks, this guy Low500 has been taking up a cause against Poolology. A few examples:

I thought you guys should be acquainted after all the hard work Low500 has done to promote CTE and Stan and simultaneously disparage Poolology and Brian. How did you ever miss this guy, Stan? He's your most vocal supporter. He learned CTE in one week and knows everything about Poolology without seeing any instructional material. He's a keeper!

Dan,
You are nothing more than a smart a......!
Stan Shuffett

Actually I did see the webpage dedicated to your father, and the checkers connection. BTW, you father seemed like an incredibly accomplished individual and a patriot. I mean that. I never knew there was a real checkers "profession" and found it genuinely interesting. I should have known as most people have no idea there is professional pool, either!

But, c'mon Stan. This Low500 stuff is silly.

OK, OK. I'll let it go.

Yeah, let's all tone it down on here. I have caught nothing but hell from the jokers and clowns because I posted the charity drive for RKC in a few different spots so more would see it. I find I need support and can not defend myself against them when they gang up in packs like that.
Let's just say; "to each their own" and let it go. I know Stan is trying his hardest to let the pool community in on something he knows is great and Low500 is a dedicated believer and supporter.
I can see why so many talented people with valuable opinions have left AZB.

Please......
I don't want to be drawn into any of those arguments.
The ignore feature works good and so does the report space.
Leave my name out. I just like to shoot pool and make simple opinions here and there.
Nothing more. :thumbup:
What is the 'charity drive for RKC'...?

Sorry to mention your handle. You can find one thread in the first page of the main forum. RKC is down and out needing knee surgery and I started a fund drive. His nature of work means when he can't work, he has zero income and I thought the AZB community might want to help out. And they have been.

The amount of time and effort it took to meticulously wade through each and every one of the threads/posts above is absolutely mind numbing. I'm certainly not wasting my time to click on the links and I'm sure no one else did. It's overwhelming to just see it on the screen.

Your passion in pool seems to revolve around 14.1 and you've stated it's the only game you play.

Why in the world are you spending/wasting all of your time in the aiming section when you claim not to use any aiming system?

Why aren't you spending the bulk of your participation in the 14.1 section spearheading it's growth and popularity with instruction, insights, questions, answers, perspectives, and techniques for high runs?

However, I predicted as soon as poolology came out that you would be jumping on it's bandwagon (or creating one) to use it as a comparison to CTE for a way to continue badmouthing it, the users, and Stan as well as make it seem like you're a "FAIR and HONEST man" who can be objective when you deem something as good vs. something which is detrimental to mankind in the world of pool.

You're neither fair and honest, objective, or knowledgeable about the system to post the way you do. Unfortunately you've gone off the deep end like PJ and LF did for 20 years.

CTE for haters and antagonists = C razed T hroughout E ternity. Your post above definitely reflects it!

I think you have quite a bit to contribute in the 14.1 threads. Stay where you can be of the most benefit to the forum and get a grip on yourself when it comes to aiming, especially anyone or anything that has to do with CTE.

You're losing it!!

Wrong. Very easy to do if you know how to use the search feature, and if the person you are searching only has a handful of posts to begin with.
