Originally posted by RahimKI believe he played Angie88 in a game. That's all I really know though. Keeping up this site probably takes alot of his time. He surely doesn't have time to play many games.
I was looking at his early games and It seemed as if he was trying to win in 2001. His recent games it seems like, well no comments.
When you guys met him at the meet up, did he actually play chess or just move his knight around?
Originally posted by RahimKMost of Russ's early games were not against people, they were testing games. He has never claimed to be a chess expert (quite the opposite). He did play one game against Angie (which he lost), but he did give us all extensive lessons in the Guiness defense, which i would say he has perfected to Grandmaster level!! 😛

I'm not saying he has to be an expert or anything like that. A couple of his games for late 2001 look like he was actually trying. Looking at his recent games, all I see is a knight moving back and forth. He made this site because he probably enjoys chess so why not play chess? Why just move a knight back and forth? Why even bother playing if your gonna do just that? Same thing goes for that guy he's playing who keeps moving the knight.

I don't really play. I had intended to actually become quite proficient by now, but it is all about time now, and for my own sanity, when I do get away from the keyboard, I try to think about something else!

(And yes, I was humiliated by Angie the other day…it was just the pressure 😉. Chris did far better though&hellip😉
