    i doubt the 1600 plus level will fill to 64, unless you want to wait several weeks months, but i like the idea, count me in!

    On the plus side, the 1200-1599 tournament is up to 53/64.

    Yay! for being a mediocre player!

    Oh dear, what luck I have. As a mediocre player around 1200 I am in a group with only 1500+ players...

    I feel your pain. In The Aves Clan From Gambit tournament, I was matched against Quirine. Actually was up a rook for a knight in 1 game and had I played been smart, probably could have drawn with him. Not to be though. I'm liking my grouping for the ginger tourney thingy though, I like my odds(with respect to my opponents).

    I know what you mean. In the Aves Clan thingy, I was matched up against GuaravV. He didn't really crush me though, which boosted my ego. I just lost very slowly.
    Luckily, my rating is so down in the dumps right now that I can play the lowest band here 😀

    I had a time like that a couple months ago. Where I couldn't win a game to save my life. I think I made it down to like the 1040's. Then my buddy joe t gave me some advice and I promptly shot up to 1426, a RHP high for me. Don't worry, you'll get out of it.

    It wasn't anything special. Just a simple pointer and a boost of confidence. Which I suppose was to his detriment. Me and joe both joined at the same time and have played games since. After his words to me, I believe I won like the next 4 or 5. It all comes down to looking at the board. I was being to hasty. Once I started taking more time and looking at all my options, I was winning more games. And its worked wonders. I've gone from a consistent high 1100s/low to mid 1200s player to a high 1200s/low 1300s player.
