This is so good, I had to copy it.
Thanks Flex
I also had to move it so the text would not be shorten.
Congrats again Michelle

Originally posted by flexmoreI agree totally and would like to extend my respect to skeeter. Doesn't mean i didn't raise an eye brow at a certain thread though 😉
you may be right that this is part of skeeter's style ,
there is a good place for timeout tricks and swindles to be played - they are within the rules, this is the game i know over the board also, chess is weaker without it, and i imagine you know it also.
without these tricks chess becomes a boring convention of "i will respectfully yield in some ...[text shortened]... se.
(how often does kasparov lose on timeout? - but he will win on it with no hesitation)
Originally posted by pradtfThanks again prad, but was it really 'nobler in the mind' or should I just shoulder arms against a sea of troubles to suffer 'the heartache and a thousand un-natural posts?
congrats skeeter!
you have overcome not only the opposition, but also the 'slings and arrows of outrageous' persons 😀
your achievement will remain an inspiration to many!

I should give you my advice upon the subject, willy-nilly;
I should show you in a moment how to grapple with the question,
And you'd really be astonished at the force of my suggestion.
On the subject I shall write you a most valuable letter,
Full of excellent suggestions when I feel a little better,
But at present I'm afraid I am as mad as any hatter,
So I'll keep 'em to myself, for my opinion doesn't matter!
i have found that gilbert & sullivan can usually answer the deepest of shakespearean questions 🙂

My question is why are some people upset at Skeeter and her number 1 rating? I guess it is just me because I play on this site just for the pleasure of playing. I'm not getting paid to play chess so what is the controversy? It is only a game people. My congrats to skeeter on her ranking. If Mr. Tebb is upset about the rating then he should challenge skeeter to a game but, I don't see any postings from him so he must not be too concerned about it. Apparantly her record speaks for itself. I will probably never attain a ranking that high because I make too many moves a month and most of them are bone head moves anyways. While I love to play chess, I also like to do other things in life. Skeeter go and enjoy your rating and have a beer to celebrate it. Preferably a Guinness stout but, then again I'm biased.😀

.... and she would be more moderate and more temperate but rough winds have shaken this darling bud and so her summers lease has all too short a date.
and so, from pirates of penzance:
Every moment brings a treasure
Of its own especial pleasure;
Though the moments quickly die,
Greet them gaily as they fly,
Greet them gaily as they fly.
Far away from toil and care,
Revelling in fresh sea-air,
Here we live and reign alone
In a world that's all our own.
Here, in this our rocky den,
Far away from mortal men,
We'll be queens, and make decrees--
They may honour them who please.
i, and many others it would seem, certainly honour the queen's decrees, regardless of the winds.
in friendship,
prad
