Once I've passed the 2000 mark I can honestly say that I'm not sure if I played more than a handful of games against honest players. I always analyze my games (once they're finished) and find that somehow I've been playing against Houdini this whole time! Since that's how the world is I decided not to put a limit on my seek(s) and to play anyone!
If I do suspect cheating took place I will alert the admins and add you to my "gallery of shame".

When starting a game, if you do not make an effort to play through the opening lines (that are known to you) in the same day and in general not to waste time on forced moves I will either delete the game at its early stage or not play with you again.
I view time-abuse just as that - abuse.

If you want to practice a specific opening, I'm your guy! I'll be more than happy to help so don't be shy and just ask!

The players who affected me the most are: Alekhine, Morphy, Lasker, Rubinstein, Bronstein, Petrosian, Fischer, Kramnik, Akobian, Nakamurra, Carlsen.

According to game results Morphy scored 84.6%, Capablanca 74%, Alekhine 72.8%, Fischer 72.2%, Lasker 71.6%. So now you have a neutral answer to who was the most talented player in history.
According to ECO, NIC & Informator, David Bronstein was the single most creative innovator. He invented variations, combinations, sacrifices and gambits and was the first to pioneer hyper modern chess.
According to computer analysis, Rubinstein was the most accurate player in history who also played the best endgames.

By the time each side has played 4 moves there are over 288 billion options. Who the hell still thinks that chess is dead? The only thing that should die is pragmatic thinking!
