No such thing...
No such thing as a meaningless lie. Seems a guy who doesn't really fit in attempting to post meaningfully in this forum is kidding himself.
Since Christmas playing hardball with myself, weighing pros and cons, considering other viable options. Games down to three. Still unsure.

Originally posted by Grampy BobbyI think you should visit and learn all about other chess sites and come back to give us your findings.
All I've ever known is Red Hot Pawn, although I'm aware that many members also play regularly on other sites. What, in your opinion, are RHP's
primary advantages over its on-line chess site competitors (game/forum features, access reliability, member maturity, tone of civility, fee, etc)?
5 years plus or so should do the trick. Looking forward to your findings.

But it is a marketplace of ideas and you are going to get the occasional idiot standing on the street corner spewing nonsense, so just walk on by. Have you tried some of the other forums?

As far as games, well this is a chess site. Expand your horizons and play someone other than your brother and that tight circle of friends. One way to do that is join a clan that is actively playing a lot of games. Pooh is now hiring, hint, hint. 😉

games per month (392 games/21 months) with a total of 123 different opponents, averaging 3.2 games per opponent (392/123). Your stats?

Originally posted by Grampy BobbyNot as good as yours sir. 😳 :'( 😞 Been here 20 months with 346 games for 17.3 gpm. I do have a few thousand more moves and 45 more GIP's, so maybe I can bump that stat on up there by the end of the year. Of course there is no debate about rating, yours is far better.
Your stats?
My only point in the first post was to encourage you to stay around. I thought if you played more and different people, it would bring some of the old excitement back. 🙂 In the past year (April 07-Apr 08), you have completed 90 games....39 of them against Kiki46.
