@wolfgang59 saidYou would never catch me in one of those new-fangled automobiles.
GoaD certainly does use an engine!
It's steam powered and made mainly from brass.
(He polishes it on Sundays.)

@badradger saidLife is too short for 'might' sir.
yeah but i am on the up right now i might challenge Goad next LOL
@ghost-of-a-duke saidWouldn't you rather play someone around your own strength, or do you just like winning easy games?
Life is too short for 'might' sir.
Go for it!
@very-rusty saidPeople who use chess engines sir invariably don't log in after 7pm. (Bedtime).
Perhaps for driving his vehicle but not for playing chess.
I would know if that was the case been here long enough and played against enough of them.

@ghost-of-a-duke saidHow would you know what time they log in?.... 😉

@very-rusty saidMost of my games here are against opponents of a similar rating to my own, but I genuinely enjoy playing people of all abilities.

@very-rusty saidI feel for you
LOL...it was meant to be "funny', but if I have to explain it to you...well you know the rest!

@ghost-of-a-duke saidWhich White Walker are you talking about there are a bunch of them.

And don't underestimate the badradger. He played an amazing game against that White Walker chap.
@very-rusty saidThe White Walker chap he recently held to a draw (who then disappeared from the site).
Which White Walker are you talking about there are a bunch of them.
I know you play people around your own rating, don't you enjoy those much better where you actually have to work for the win?

@ghost-of-a-duke saidOk, that is a good point.
The White Walker chap he recently held to a draw (who then disappeared from the site).
I learn more playing stronger opponents, that's true, and I do enjoy closely fought games. But I also enjoy game board banter, and ratings don't mean very much when it comes to that.
@ghost-of-a-duke saidThat might have been a tad too convoluted for some readers to understand.
People who use chess engines sir invariably don't log in after 7pm. (Bedtime).
@very-rusty saidThat is so true.
I agree ratings don't mean a lot on here,
@ponderable saidSplendidly understood sir.
That might have been a tad too convoluted for some readers to understand.
(I interpret your post as: only immature people use engines)
