I'd like to thank whoever it is because this thread is highly valuable (OP is world top best player !!), due to this thread for a week now I'm learning from zero Chess and it's a real blow, I like it very much spending a lot of time to learn openings and play. I was also digging a lot of information about the best players, their games, the history of Chess and when doing this I fell on this player and thought... well it could really be him !

BTW, the best free and ad-free chess website I've found is http://www.lichess.org have a look (they also have an app).
