Howanever, well done, and well done at being 200 points higher than your chess teacher....do you use opening books ?
Yeah, I use opening books mostly when I am very unfamiliar with an opening or sometimes to double check if im am unsure of a memorized line

jeez Huck, did you ever get dusted by someone rated lower than you? I think there are a few out there rated lower, aren't there? Well at sometime there was. Did you think they were cheating? Of course you did. Were you able to prove it? 😉😛😀

By the way, I have never played Huck, I have no idea of his skill level on the chessboard. I am messing with him. Don't anyone get their panties in a wad, OK?

I'm betting you're overestimating your powers of wadification, and the effects of smack talk in the forums.....That's what they're here for 😛

I live 1 mile from Venice Beach
and there is this old man
who will play chess against you.
5 dollars a game.

Last summer he beat me 33 times.
He records all the games in a little book.

I finally played to a draw last week.
He told me that I was the first person to get a draw
in over 4 years.
I don't know if I believe him.

He plays all day at the beach. Kind of crazy.

His name is Walter Browne.

If it was the Walter Browne that was a GM from California, you would have been lucky to stay on the board with him. I would also question why you plunked down $5.00 - 33 times to play him. Did he give you half of your money back for the draw?

It's not "the" Walter Brown unless he is a Catholic and he thought it was time to give alms. 1300 players do not draw with GMs.

That was my point. Maybe I just danced around it. 😞
