Now all can see
What a lesson or two
Can do
Fom me...hehehehe
Both of you play well and they were both great games...and I looked
forward to more games and helping you both.
I will say one thing for Franklin...he has improved dramatically since
our last lesson...either he has been booking up or he is on mind
altering substances (hehehehe Just kidding Franklin!!)

I think that was sort of a "backhanded" compliment there Gil.
I think we need to get back on track with the sportsmanship of this
whole thing...my guys lose...they write me emails and feel like they
let the whole team down...to which I respond that hey..they tried..they
played and I hope it was fun...that is what this whole thing was about.
One of my guys wins and he (Joe I am hoping that you didn't really
mean it cause I know you are a great guy) gets accused of having
a "false" rating. I have played Franklin a few times and he is correct in
his assessment of his play...shining moments...and moments in the
toilet. But he is a good player...and a good person.
So let's keep this friendly...points or no points.

not at all intended like that Dave. I had not even taken notice of
Joe's remark about the rating (In between meetings in Paris, just
wanted to post something). I was just trying to make Joe feel less
uncomfortable with the loss.
If it sounded the way you obviously read it, then I apologise to you
and to Franklin.
Sin.
Just read these comments, need a chance to defend myself!! I never
meant anything about the rating at all - I knew that Fex had resigned
all his games, what I meant was that I might have been complacent
because going into the games I saw that Franklin's rating was low!
No harm intended, he played a great couple of games!

Thanks Joe...it just seemed weird to me...I meant no offense...as you
saw I said that in my first post about how great a guy you are...I just
didn't want alot of other people thinking the wrong thing and that
Franklin dumped games or something to get his rating down.
As you have seen...alot of people will chew a cheater to death on
here...and he is not one. Missleading comments can be construed
harshly.
I was pretty sure what you meant but had to make it positive so
nothing bad was said on anyone's part.
Just trying to keep the peace...and as Sin said...keep it fair.
Although...you both had special training during this game so I feel I
am a instigator...hehehehe.
Chess classes are still open.
Thanks Joe...you really are a great guy and a great friend to all.
