Am I the greatest?

The logic for my claim shall be explained as follows:

1. Xenophobe is the highest rated player at RHP.
2. Electric Dad is the only player to have beaten Xenophobe.
3. I have beaten Electric Dad twice.
4. Therefore, am I not capable of beating Xenophobe, and by extension laying
claim to the title of "the greatest"?

I currently have no plans to test my theory in practice, and prefer to leave it
as a "working hypothesis".

Your logic is impeccable, my friend. And following your logic, I have
played you to a draw in our one game- a very tough game I would
add, however, I have played "the almighty" and won decisively. I am
sure you will be sending over a game any day to restore my humanity
and humility. Kirk

Did you have a muscle spasm while pressing the "post" button? That might account
for your four identical messages. It is of no consequence, I shall gladly accept
your challenge and impress upon you the finer points of my logic. Soon, that is.
I shall be out of town for several days. But when I return, I shall descend upon
you with all the fury of Monty Python's "killer rabbit". Not even the "Holy hand
grenade of Antioch" shall save you.

Sorry about that. Seizure disorder.

I have returned from vacation with the intention of challenging you as I had
vowed. However, as you do not appear to be accepting challenges at the moment, I
was thwarted in my effort. Increase your number of allowable games to facilitate
my challenge, or I shall be left with no option but to consider myself the victor
by default.

I accept any and all challenges. None are refused. I'll check my
settings to accomodate your need to bludgeon me. I trust you had a
restful vacation to reflect on the innate goodness in all. Send it on
over.

Karpov syndrome?

Karpov tunnel syndrome. That's what I get for typing such long-winded posts in
the forums.

Very funny! I hope your game with kirksey is going as promised.

Dave

Maybe one day I will.

Untill then maybe I am a "legend in my own mind"

Kinda like a few others around here.

Why do we even care who is the greatest player here in RHP ? I mean
50% of the threads talks about that. I don't get it ... Can't you just
have fun people ????????? Chess is about fun, no ratings.
