You said: wolfy was a much better player than I was from what you could see from our play: Obviously you can't see well. We each have 3 wins...I would call that pretty even in my books. My question was how he has managed to be in the 1500's....Your answer was of course WRONG!

Are you a moderator now?

Do you have powers of saying who can post and who can't?

If not ...[text shortened]... ould be much appreciated if you didn't yell. Using upper case letters is considered yelling.

If you're implying that I've cheated then you're even more of an idiot than you portray.

My ego doesn't require an increase in mediocre ratings points to be satisfied with playing chess.
I play because I love the game.
I accept that I'm not that strong.

Though occasionally I see what's essential in a complex position; I'm just as content to indulge in swigs of serendipity and luck.
In truth, most of the time, I struggle just to see two moves ahead.

wolfy,

Where did you think I was implying you cheated? Perhaps you are actually more an idiot than I assumed. Sorry for over estimating your intelligence!

We've each won 3 games, so I'd say we are around the same playing strength but yet you seem to keep up in the 1500's....Saying it was because of complex postions and a little luck as you struggle to see two moves ahead would have been good! 😉 Even if you win the next two games against me score would be 5-3 for you still not over whelming by any stretch of the imagination.

EDIT: talk to wg59 he is the one who said you were much stronger player than I was!!! 😉 He won 2 and I won one in the games between him and for some reason we didn't have the 4th perhaps he wanted to quit while he was ahead? I don't know the answer.

I said wolfe was a better player than you from what I have observed
Do you understand that?
I've played him 9 times I think. All good games.

I've played you 3 times. Rubbish games I gave no thought to.
I lost one, big deal. I was blitzing it.

Against wolfe its 5-4.
He is a far, far better player than you.

All I was doing is blitzing in both game against you and wolfy, so what does that prove now?

Nothing of course is the correct answer.

I'd like to be able to tell you to have a nice day, but just don't feel like it at the moment! 😉 😛

Yet another thread derailed by VR and his detractors.
(Yes I am also to blame)

Can the RHP community just IGNORE him for a month?

I’m not sure if Ireland’s PM qualifies as “head of state” yet he certainly possesses the qualities needed in leadership these days...a great leader does everything she/he can:

Coronavirus saved his job, Irish politics a mess at the moment. He does seem like a genuinely decent guy though.
