-Removed-To bad God wasn't as merciful to you as to me!
I told you I am very happy playing on a 2nd place Clan and already have a bigger plus minus than you've managed in 6 years with only a plus 34 playing people you've beaten before and yet for some reason their clan leader keeps matching you up. Maybe because you still even lose games to them at times. Could be from too much gabbing in the forums? 🙂
You can ask what my plus minus is since I joined my new clan if you wish, I am doubtful you will though as it would be quite embarrassing for you! Here I'll just show you as I know you will not look at it.

That is 72 wins 9 draws and 28 lost games and not quite 6 months up yet. 🙂 That is a plus 44 not counting the draws 10 more than you've accomplished in around 6 years, from last time I looked at your stats.

"...It has been said -- and is probably not true -- that every great man has been a chess player. But was there ever a chess player who was also a great man? Of course not and never will be. It is impossible. Great skill at chess is not a mark of greatness of intellect but of a great intellect gone wrong."

i thought it was an interesting general take on intelligence and chess playing skill

@very-rusty saidBill Gates was noted to be a bad chess player.
LOL@ gooster, highly unlikely.
If you were smart you'd be brushing up on your chess, rather than having a Clan carry you.
What makes you think you're smarter? You see it is all in your head.

Some guesstimated his rating to be around 1200-1300.
Some very bright people are just not that good at chess.
And some very good chess players are not that good at life.
Bobby Fischer being a good example.
That being said, I wish negative references to any player in my clan cease.
I am asking respectfully, of course.
@mghrn55 saidSo what you saying gooster is like Bill Gates?

Good in business not so good in chess? Or not so good in life or both?
Perhaps if you informed your clan player we are talking one here and we know who we are talking about not to be negative to other clan members, he may get more respect that he is getting......Just saying! 🙂

Have a great holiday season.
@mghrn55 saidThank you kindly, we will be remaining small in numbers again this year.
All the best to you and family as well.
Have a great holiday season.
Day before yesterday we had a break out of 274 cases of the new strain of virus going around the highest since the Pandemic scare close to 2 years ago. So we have to be very cautious. I can see the change in many people I know, they are more moody and irritable and getting tired of it. Things open up then they have to put restrictions back on.
It will be a tough Christmas but we have each other and family in our little circle (bubble) which will be nice, some are not so lucky.
