@gambrel saidIt’s a good job your chess rating is slightly higher than Very Rusty or he would be along to chastise you for it and probably give you some unsolicited advice on how to rid yourself of drugs.
Are bad m'kay
I just finished a totally brilliant game. Brilliant until I analyzed with that site's analysis engine. My brilliant moves were dubious at best, his replies were blunderous.
Must be the drugs.
@divegeester saidGooster, what you are unaware of is we know each other and have chatted on the phone for hours, something you and I have never done.

His chess rating is more than slightly higher than mine, which wouldn't stop me from chatting with him in a P.M., if I thought he had an issue with drinking.
He is trying to lighten things up, and you took him seriously!

@very-rusty saidThank you for making me aware that you know how to use the telephone.

@divegeester saidWell, I know someone should as you can be a bit slow at times.
Thank you for making me aware that you know how to use the telephone.

@divegeester saidYou're mental?
I chatted to someone for hours on the telephone once.
Then there was this other person whom I’d never chatted to on the telephone for hours.
It’s mental!
Sorry, to hear about your issues gooster. 🙁

@very-rusty saidAre you now going to move from mocking me about my substance abuse to mocking me about my mental health?

@trev33 saidBack in 2009 we each won one when I played you in 2020 you won both of them.

So out of 4 games you've won 3, of course 11 years in the difference of the pairs of games.
Have you played any against Gambrel?
I was talking about NOW, he would be quite a bit higher rated than I am.

@gambrel saidI must point out, this was when I was at my best. My rating here was 1800-2000, my all time peak was 2020. At this time I was also 2x city champ. I held it twice. The first time I defeated our city's youngest ever champ, in the shortest championship game in city history. The second time I beat our local Dragon scholar (1800 USCF) with the black side of the Dragon.

My one game edge on Trev was a TO win too.
