    Again: I hate those stupid open invites like slippytoad's ones:two set pieces with position imposible to reach in a regular chess games and with absurd rating limits:one 2400-2500 and the other <500.

    A waste of space for legit open invites.

    How many people on this site are even OVER 2400??? That's just one guy right? That does seem like a very silly challenge. He just send the challenge directly to IronMan and see if he accepts.

    Positions are also very silly since they are impossible to reach in a real game.

    it's fun to play interesting positions, whether they are possible in a normal chess game or not.

    Russ, you seem to have broken my game limit counter. It is allowing two less than the normal six. I apologize for placing narrow invites. I will attempt to be more broad from now on.

    Yeah,sure,so what was the point in putting the rating limit <500 in one game and 2400-2500 in the other?

    Just say that you thought it was ''fun'' to have your invites listed there for some weeks because no one couldn't accept them and let's end here the question...

    Gawd. Aren't there some miserable people on this site. Chess is SUPPOSED to be fun. It's a GAME. Some people seem to loose sight of this and take it waaaaaayyyyyyyyyyy too seriously.

    I hate this, This pisses me off, blah etc. Lighten up. Things could be a hell of a lot worse. There's people out there wondering how many days or even weeks it will be until they can find fresh water or food and your het up about some lad having a bit of a jape. Behave.

    If you had such a huge problem with it, I wish you would have just contacted me. I didn't know I was getting under anyone's skin until I happened to run across this post on the forum.

    Why are you getting pissed off about something while knowing things could be much worse, as you exampled? This reaction is a bit hypocrit, even your problem is relative. Both of you and Ravello have a point though.

    I can understand Ravello questions the usefullness of some open invites, probably in a way calling it silly and / or stupid. Sillyness or even plain stupidity can irritate people too, and it's usefullness cluthers up this website (even just a tiny bit).

    Sorry. I didn't state my point clearly. The first part that appears to be me ranting was supposed to be an example of peoples whinging and whining.( I hate this this pisses me off etc.)😛
