I think Opposition is a program user!

VERY well said Jan.
I am an "upstart" newcomer to this site but already through reading
the posts I can tell that Dave is one of the good guys. .....
Cheers

Thank you John

I hope you have alot of fun here and make some good friends.

Dave

Perhaps you don't look up openings, but you should have looked up how to spell
"Goebbels" properly. Hmmm...poor spelling, a clear hallmark of human error.

Oh man... I failed to catch that one...being so concerned about that
slam on John.

Good one big daddy!

Dave

I think I spell my own name just fine genius!

Uh huh, sounds like a load of propaganda to me. Does the alias "SeppDietrich"
belong to you as well? I would like to think there is only one person here who
would use Nazis for their user name.

All I want to know is why are you so freakishly obsessed with
Opposition?

In order to analyze "MANY" of his games, it would seem you have to
hand enter them, since RHP doesn't seem to allow one to download
others games. That implies quite a bit of...determination...on your
part in this matter.
But you have never played against Opposition, so why so
much...interest?

PS.
I'd like to see you play as many games as vaknso and keep your win
ratio as high.

PPS
I wonder if you have some other nick on this site, one with a grudge
against Opposition. At least that would make a bit more sense.

PPS
I believe "beyond a shadow of a doubt" that you need help.

OK, 1st of all this is a Chess site -
not wrestling, trash talking is not appropriate. Vaknso is one of the
best players on this site. He has excellent game, manages over 50+
at a time while having a life.

If you have a beef with oppositions DON"T play him.

There is no reason to use engines in games - we aren't playing for
money, we are playing for fun and to learn to be a better player. If I
wanted to use a program I would play the program instead of another
player. That way at least I might learn something

I don't know Oppositions and I don't know you but I do know Vaknso
and he is a good guy... Don't trash the Good guys there aren't enough
in the world.

Well put!

Dave

Goebbles, I get the feeling reading all the responses that it's almost
like you were wearing a sign that says "kick me."

I have no problem here. I'm not ashame of my 48 percent win ratio.
Every last win came honestly. I never intended to trash J Goebbles in
my original post. Nor did I intend to defend Opposition. At the time I
made the post, I did remember having played opposition. I
remember now. He was rated several hundred points higher than me
as he still is. I came "that close to beating him". I remember that.
In over 1000 games played, I have no idea how many I lost to
programs. Do I care? I lost them honestly. I play for fun and
competition. As Bessyboo said in a post a long time ago, "those using
programs will get no enjoyment and will not be around very long."
Remember that post Sally, When you were #1 rated at about 1608. I
do.
This is a great site with a lot of great people. Some are great because
they are great chess players, others are great because they are great
people.

I am just content being one or the other...I try hard in both areas.

You happen to grab both John.

I am honored to be able to call you my friend.

My tactics are flawless? I never blunder? If that were true would I
have lost to Jumbo Whiffy, CZ Bish, FatGingerGeeze, LuckyVlad, or
Mastermo? My rating here at RHP is 300 pts below my USCF's...I
guess that means my over-the-board games are stronger than
the "program" I use here LOL. All I did was make a comment that
anyone who would win dishonestly by playing himself (perhaps you
don't see that as dishonest), would probably win against others
dishonestly also. You sure took my comments personal...I wonder
why. Do you live in so Calif by any chance? I would love to play you
face-to-face. Thanks for the compliments on my game, although my
tactics are not far from flawless...well, maybe to a player of your
strength it is...

I refer to mr Goebles ORIGINAL post. Mate, go home/away most of
us will assume you are just another nick of an argumentative player. I
say this because NO ONE has the right to make such comment within
ONE ? TWO months of being here. IF you are that good and astute,
why are you here ?
