You're right. I make up websites including diagrams and technical data to show everybody that an online twit pretending to be an expert on something is actually just an online twit.

I figure if they want to waste my time, I might as well waste theirs, and reduce the number of calls they can make in a day.
I used to do that, before I registered for the telephone preference service.

Dont try and justify your nerdiness, this is pretty normal behavior from your type. The denial, once exposed, is also routine stuff. You will just have to face facts - you are a walking, talking cliche.

I'm curious, how many fellow grandmasters, like yourself, would make move 38 in this game, instead of resigning?
Game 4115262

BTW, what's my type? You honestly think anybody but your own deluded self thinks I spent time making up a technical webpage to show you up as a know-nothing? Don't make me laugh, GM.

When was I supposed to be a grand? You were accusing me of being a computer only earlier this very day - I usually would resign but was fairly annoyed in that game that he had not resigned against me in an earlier position so didnt feel I should be too generous myself.

I get the impression you feel you have the upper hand here, well believe me I take absolutely nothing of what you say seriously - little kids like you should be seen and not heard.

Game 1083526 Kind of like this sort of position - although at least I was forced to lose my game.

Did I? I thought I merely commented on your total lack of shared chess knowledge, which I find strange for a Master like yourself.

I simply compared your lack of chess knowledge coupled with your Master rating to your claim of being a glazing manufacturer, while not knowing anything about glazing.

Lack of chess knowledge? I can justify almost every move I make - even if they are sometimes bad. Plus, I frequently contribute to the chess forums with useful tips to help developing players.

All this coming from a player who has never even broken the 1900 mark strikes me as having only one motive - jealousy.

I dont recall ever making a claim to being a glazier (the correct terminology) - It was actually just made in a sarcastic way, which you failed to pick up on.

OMG! That's hilarious!

By the way, the correct terminology is "glazier". LOL!

All I see from you in the Only Chess forum are threads like this... Thread 82866 and this Thread 82387

Yup, really helping people improve by bleating on about how good you are and how you've misplaced a book.

I get the last laugh though, you actually believed me and went off trawling the net for your "sources" like the pedantic bellend you are.

Plus, I will get the last word here, since you have already ruined an otherwise good topic so it is unlikely now that anybody else will want to post in it.

Troll! this coming from the man who has never made a productive post in his life. It is only your freinds in high places that keeps your account active around here - anywhere else and you would have been gone a long time ago - with great celebrations to follow.

Both those topics are actually useful, in their own way. One carries a serious message about how easy it can be to become complacent with your possesions and, only when it is too late, you learn the lesson.
The other is helpful, not only to the lower rated players by showing that with some hard work it is possible to reach higher levels of play, but also to the higher rated guys to give them a heads up that I am going to do my best to take my place amongst them so to watch their backs.
