HI Kewp.
Just got up to read me my emails to find out where I have to show my
pretty face today.
Spot on - load of utter drivel. but this is the place we are allowed to put it.
(don't blame me - blame the blitz site, it was empty)
Seen enough of his games to see there is this good player wanting
to get out and I did try to get him to leave ...[text shortened]... hat is today's free advice which is not too bad considering I am
just out of bed.
Cheers.

No animals or humans were hurt in the aforementioned rubbish, or drivel. 😉

It's one thing to have a bit of give and take going on in forum threads, but a 10-page thread consisting almost entirely of two users exchanging insults is a bit pointless, don't you think?

WOW...10 pages was it? How they fly by when your having fun. I hope you didn't bore yourself to death by reading everything.
It was the wee hrs. of the am, and we weren't hurting anybody, just bantering back and forth. You do realize you don't have to read everything that is on here. 😉
That gbaway script they have will work for anyone, you could get that then you don't see anything said by the user (S) you don't care for. That would solve your problem perhaps?
Originally posted by KewpieIsn't it repulsive to be subjected to all these worthless scoundrels and lowlifes?

Your listed location is "by the lake." I'm betting it's Lake Superior.

I for one will pay attention to your welcome threads and post to them.

Good thing it wasn't a Clan game. 😛
I must have lost interest after the game was already won huh. 😉
In case you don't know 1100 players don't write chess books.
2000 players aren't really good enough either. I suppose kevin pretty much leads you around by nose though....ROFLMAO!!!
I could have given you some mate-in-one that I have miss ...[text shortened]... e we will all be allowed to do it. They might as well just do away with the Chess forum. 😛
All I need to do now is pawn a family heirloom for a bottle of Thunderbird and I will have hit rock bottom.
I knew there was a reason I stayed in the "only chess" forum, and I have found it.

You write chess books?
Originally posted by Very RustyI fail to see how referring to the draw between Geoff and myself had anything to do with whatever point you were making. We were in a tournament, and we both had our tournament strategies and reasons for doing so.

I felt I owed you the courtesy of a response to your question, but I really am going to stick to the "only chess" forum ( I discovered this by scanning the "recommended" posts).
I'm sure you must have your reasons, but I'm not going to worry about it any further.

Originally posted by Paul LeggettOh yea, that was after 8 or 9 moves wasn't it.

That is called an agreed draw in advance, which I strongly disagree with.
There was certainly lots of play in that game left, and we all know it!
I fail to see what the recommended posts have to do with you and GP agreeing to a draw in a game after 8 or 9 moves. It certainly isn't fair to the rest in the tourney. I can only hope you don't do that in Clan games! 😞
Most of the recommended posts are insults or ridicule at people, usually right at the top.
