Between 1172 and 1202 there are over 4000 players. I found out
today. I won one game an i got a resignation and I jumped 4000
position in rating. Whow!

Injustice? Injustice? Just try moving 500 moves in a day and not
moving anywhere on the MAP list. Is not your rating enough to satisfy
you. We grunts on MAP must neglect our families, our lives, go
without vacations and sleep. All this to maintain the illusion....excuse
me, delusion that we are somehow in a competition that matters.

Yup-- odds are good that both you and Gil will win your current games
against me-- and you'll each get something like two points for your
trouble, while I will only LOSE a couple of points, AND gain valuable
experience/practice in preparation for future games! In other words, I
win, no matter what! Sorry, guys....😉

All games win or lose are a learning experience...I learned alot from
my games with Knightmare...so much that after 2 draws and a loss I
finally got to play in an opening that I am really good at and finally
got a hard fought win. But along the way you learn a person's
tendencies...their likes and dislikes...as well as your opponent learns
yours. So every game I play I go back through just to see not only if I
could have played it better at some point...and also if I showed
my "poker face" on a bluff. Trust me...I have swindled some points on
here with a tactical shot that if analysed correctly would have lost...but
I counted on the human error that could take place. Tim you almost
fell for one in our current game remember..hehehe...but you have
learned to look deeper into a position due to our games...and I am
glad that has happened.

Oh well...enough of my rambling..back to the board.

I wasn't saying anything bad...just that he has the best shot to hit
2000. He would be the first to do it on here...pretty cool if you ask me.

No offense meant.

Is it justice that half a dozen players share the space of 100 or so
rating points, while 4000 or so are crowded in a 20 point spread. Now
tell me Dave. Looks a lot like the the real world. Rich live on estates
and poors live in cramped housing. (This is not-serious folks)
