My tip for the day is to spend months carefully analysing your games, living and breathing them, accumilating small advantages in each, until you are almost poised to launch your winning combination in nearly all of your current games. Follow your rule never to play unless you have time, complete silence, and a focused state of mind.
Then get really really ars*holed and rattle through all your concurrent games, playing the first poorly thought out move that jumps out of your blurred screen. Then pause, then repeat the exercise a second time, just in case you got lucky the first time.
Then go to bed.
Congratulations. You have achieved your aim. You STUPID STUPID kn*bhead.
How would you like to be paired against this guy?
He dropped nearly 800 points and then entered a bunch of tournaments.

Originally posted by arrakisI've played a few like that in tournaments! When you stink as badly as I do, it becomes easy to tell who is my peer and who dumped games so that they could kick butt in tourneys. Takes but a few seconds to confirm my suspicions. That's why I like the new system.

Originally posted by NordlysYou don't have an iggy list? Mine is mostly in my head (which is uncluttered by any useful information, so I have lots of room) but there are players I won't play again. Usually it's for people who say things that make me feel very uncomfortable during ingame chat. There are people who are friends and can say whatever they want, and people who can flirt, but there are some that just remind me too much of a stalker I knew before there was a word for it (stalking). I won't play them again. Most people who win against me because they dumped their ratings aren't the sort who'd send me a game otherwise, so I don't worry about them as much.

Blimey, we do have some cynics. Only meant to share a laugh.
The rating points have not yet been lost, as I am clinging on. I was being metaphorical. I did a great deal of harm to my position in most of my games, that was all.
And as for 3a), I seem to remember that is an allegation of having multiple accounts. Should the great detectives want to compare my games with those of my girlfriends, they would be confident we are not one and the same. Indeed I have great integrity, and will not even coach her, as I dont believe in it.
Do not rush to judge, and chill out a little 🙂
