The main reason for playing here is to build a solid over the board repertoire. I do not play junk lines, or weird variations. You may look at my public games and feel free to find a hole in my opening preparation. I prefer challenges that somehow matches my current rating, if your rating is too low I will decline your offer. If I feel that I am playing your computer, I will play "extra hard" to beat you.
Tournament Entry Rating is calculated by the formula (CurrentRating + HighestRating) / 2. The entry rating will never drop to more than 100 points below your Highest Rating.
