That or he'll hit 3000. Whichever. 😉
hmm... the problem with the top ratings is that people like ironman will practically never lose - so their rating just gets higher and higher and higher.... *yaaawn* - hmm... well, i guess it's just a matter of how long ironman can enjoy the total lack of challenges...

The loss Ironman had was a mouse slip - he told me so, and you can see by the end game that he made one huge mistake that he would never make normally.

He's playing a few games against the top players that aren't looking too good for him. It's just a bit frustrating to see that he takes the full amount of time to move in them. Nothing wrong with that of course, but he does move quick in other games, so the games are progressing really slow. We'll have to wait. 🙂
