    Not that I mind. Chess is a journey after all, not a race.
    I just noticed that you and I have never played a chess match....You are probably too high rated for me anyways.

    I would still give it a go though!!!

    Always open to a game old chap. Ratings don't always mean so much.

    I was once 1669 back when I was in club play. I have had some medicial issues along the way which has hurt my rating. Always good to play with a stronger player. Would be fun to play 2 games using each color. I am sure you will win both, but I will try my best of course.

    EDIT: I see you already sent the challange with me playing white! Now one with me playing black would be good. πŸ˜‰

    As long as you enjoy the game and have fun that is all that matters at the end of the day.

    I am sure you would be fun to meet in person.

    This thread has taken some twists and turns I never expected even one person being banned from the site. Now that is a first for a thread I started, I think! πŸ˜‰

    Well the person banned didn't start the thread I did.... I am sure I've probably been banned from some threads I started back in the old days.

    I will have to direct you to Russ for that answer...Obviously there was not a good enough reason to ban me from the site, although I have been banned from more than one thread though back in the old days! πŸ˜‰ πŸ˜€ Hell Trev, I think you are ahead of me on bans if you want to look at it that way! πŸ˜‰ πŸ˜›
