Originally posted by hammster21I sincerely doubt it will drop much below 1650 ever again. I have one game in a drawn (maybe lost) position against a high 1300's player (seems his real strength is closer to 1700). Other than that though I am doing okay.
The higher it is.... the farther it will fall. Trust me. But congrats while it lasts.

Originally posted by epic0002I certainly hope you aren't implying engine use. Though it is true my 'tutor' is Fritz.. I play against my computer all the time.. find it's a great way to learn.

BTW, wishing you luck...quite a paradox since chess is anything but luck 😉

whats an engine ?.. you sound a little defensive for some reason
Which is why I wouldn't want to teach myself through playing an engine; I think I'd (A) go bored or (B) start to get a very boring style.

Originally posted by RamnedMy rating hike is almost completely from games vs. 1700 players (though it is true my run from 1650 to where I am now was all from 1300's and stuff... I put up a bunch of invites saying I'm willing to play anyone (nice guy eh?). Bunch of lower lvls accepted and I beat them with my KG in 20 moves or less.. it was fun 😛. On the other hand, I am playing decently as of late... not missing too much tactically and I've never been a bad stratetician. The only thing that worries me is the transition into the endgame. I've found 1700-2000 lvl players are very good at taking an equal midgame and turning it into a winning endgame just because their king is one square better if you know what I mean. I have no clue how to 'practice' that... maybe I'll be stuck at the low 1700's for the rest of my life 😛.
