It's part of the image: a Guru doesn't mix with the populus.

ps. Oops, I nearly forgot that apart from two current unrated games I am in the same position. So, there must be other reasons too. Good ones. Really good ones.

*that* is what I'm doing wrong. I keep actually playing chess, proving beyond a shadow of a doubt that I suck. Instead I should just stop playing, and just claim to be an expert. Thanks Huck! 😛

Hmmmmm....

Are there more non-players in the Chess Forum or the General Forum?

(Don't take this as an argument. I'm just asking. I don't know.)

I plan to wind down my games and stop when i reach 1400.

I then plan to wear a smoking jacket, smoke a pipe, and tell everyone how i beat someone from a queen down.


I'm just interested in the phenomena, thats all.

I think it's been well-stated on a number of occassions that RHP is a chat forum first and a chess site second.

No1 is a ghost. But I hadn't been aware that rwingett had stopped moving, too. I hadn't even be aware that the Freethinkers had a new leader. Strange.

The majority of players never posts in the forums at all. The majority of those who post in the forums also play chess on RHP. Both no1 and rwingett have been active players and dedicated clan leaders. I think there are very few people who have never played here and who are active in the forums.

I agree. The player table has 12,777 people who have moved in the last 100 days. I doubt there is an equal number who have posted in the last 100 days, though there is no table for that.
