@very-rusty saidIn fact even math is based on assumptions. (you can call the axoims that or you can call them rules of the game).
Or assume as some do!!! 😛

@ponderable saidAre you saying 2+2= 4 or 5?

@very-rusty saidI say 2+2=4, but is just a convention it could be 11 if we used base 3

@ponderable saidIt's always four regardless of base though.

The convention is how we represent it.
@ponderable saidWell if we are going to look at that way, we could call apples oranges and vise versa!!! 😉

@very-rusty saidWhat's in a name?

That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.
@ponderable saidDo you use that same motto for your chess games? 😉
No need to think, just perceive 😉

@wolfgang59 saidWell if a rose had originally been called a fart and a fart a rose we would be looking at it entirely different wouldn't we? 😉

@very-rusty saidThat is the reason for my low Rating I have much higer Ratings on Chess Training sites… but that only Shows that I don't use my potential 😉

@ponderable saidI know ratings don't really mean a whole lot on here....I'd like to use Mctayto as an example playing in the 1000's a good amount of the time, when he is actually between a 1400-1500 player!!!! Now, that is not using ones potential or SANDBAGGING!!! 😉

@very-rusty saidHe's 1500 at least, if not more, maybe even 1600.

On my best day, I'm 1400-ish, and he beats the snot outta me.

@suzianne saidI agree....I have played him 8 times but they were in tournament not clan games I won 5, draw 1, loss 2, now I don't know how many he may have just let me win, to lower his rating and jack mine up....It makes so much sense to have the Clan rating seperated from the other ratings. Kind of make it harder to (sandbag) I would say.
