@very-rustysaid I may have won a few more but our games as I recall were usually pretty close, and you were a tough opponent. We will have to see where were at now since it has been a few years since we last played, when you get down to a game count you're comfortable with.

Why on earth has this received so many thumbs down?
@very-rustysaid Yes I noticed you don't play so much anymore....You are a pretty decent player. We have played 30 games in the past.
I believe it has been a couple years since we last played!

Hi VR, I have about 60 games on the go, which is more than enough for my addled brain these days. I recollect that you often came off better in our skirmishes!
How come a lot of forum posters haven't played a game of chess in over a 100 days?
Just curious
RHP is a chess site for enthusiasts of the game to interact with like-minded individuals. Playing is just one aspect. Talking, discussing, forming chess bonds is just as valuable a contribution to the site. In my view.
I love to interact with cricket enthusiasts on various sites - I certainly don’t play anymore!
Another question:
I land my probe on the moon, haul out my grand piano and set my metronome to 120 (120 beats per minute). Will my Mozart’s “alla turca” be the same speed as Mr moonpianst’s, who has also set his metronome at 120?
My thoughts?
What a pusillanimous and cynically selfish post.
Children teach you that you are not the most important thing in your life. They teach altruism and selflessness, because they are the future and they deserve your selfless devotion and commitment. As a teacher and parent I have discovered how much joy children give.
My thoughts? How sad I am for you on your pusillanimous and cynically selfish path…..
@sonhousesaid @AverageJoe1 You really are stupid. You really think it is about the payments? This is about covering up the payments, but your knowledge of law is very limited, basically to what your orange Jesus told you about law and he is an international expert, right?
“Orange Jesus”! Like it.
Basically he’s just a bollock-faced foghorn of ignorance, a pusillanimous mealy-mouthed old windbag disabled by his own narcissism.
@martinssaid Why don't people reply to a courtesy hello and good luck greeting.
I am amazed at the number of people here who don't bother to reply to a friendly greeting.
Sure, I don't like chit chat in a game as it can be distracting, but surely good manners are part of chess!!
(Yes, I am aware that language issues can be a problem; but most of the time I am talking about people flying English speaking nations flags)
Chess is warfare. On the battlefield even the most chivalrous (and British) warrior would not greet his intended victim with a polite “Good morning, old chap” before running him through with his sabre.
On a beautiful deserted island in the middle of nowhere the following people are stranded:
2 Italian men and 1 Italian woman
2 German men and 1 German woman
2 French men and 1 French woman
2 Greek men and 1 Greek woman
2 English men and 1 English woman
2 Polish men and 1 Polish woman
2 Japanese men and 1 Japanese woman
2 American men and 1 American woman
2 Australian men and 1 Australian woman
2 New Zealand men and 1 New Zealand woman
2 Irish men and 1 Irish woman
One month later the following things have occurred:
One Italian man killed the other for the Italian woman.
The two French men and the French woman are living happily together and having loads of sex.
The two German men have a strict weekly schedule of when they alternate for the German woman.
The two Greek men are sleeping with each other and the Greek woman is cleaning for them.
The two English men are waiting for someone to introduce them to the English woman.
The two Polish men took a long look at the endless ocean and one look at the Polish woman, and they started swimming.
The two American men are contemplating the virtues of suicide, while the American woman keeps on bitching about her body being her own, the true nature of feminism, how she can do everything that they can do, about the necessity of fulfilment, the equal division of household chores, how her last boyfriend respected her opinion and treated her much nicer and how her relationship with her mother is improving.
The two Japanese men have faxed Tokyo and are awaiting instructions.
The two Australian men beat each other senseless fighting over the Australian woman who is checking out all the other men after calling them both “bloody w*****s”.
Both New Zealand men are searching the island for sheep.
The Irish began by dividing the island into North and South and by setting up a distillery. They do not remember if sex is in the picture because it gets sort of foggy after the first few litres of coconut whisky, but hey are satisfied that at least the English are not getting any.
