I dislike cheaters and engine users. I like creative players and i like aggression.

ratings are irrelevant, if your 1300 i will beat you, if your 2000 ill try to beat you. as long as it doesnt look like youll cheat ill take you on.

They give a pretty good indication of how good someone is, and there are plenty of good reasons I don't allow 1300/1400 scrubs to challenge me - I don't want to waste my time.

I'll tell you what...I'll make an exception for you. If you get to 1549 I'll accept your challenge - good luck!

Dude no!

That would require me to try.

I just want a FEW interesting games.

To go with my 100 'other' games.

Well, if you're good enough to beat me than you should be good enough to hit that level, if not then go away.

I'm sure the "I can so beat you" argument works against 14 year olds, but it won't work against me. No 1550 no game. In fact I think 1550 is quite lenient.

That's my point, they have no answer for that. I don't need to hear excuses, your rating is what it is.

well that is true, unless your building it up from 1200. i made the mistake of not trying to tackle any 1500s when i was provisional. so now its baby steps up t owhere i should be.

plus i didnt take the site seriously and timed out of some early games.

Making mutliple moves in a minute on different games will hinder anyones ability.

I get bored of waiting for games.

I basically want 6 serious games and 100 or so non serious games.

I don't give a crap about ratings.

I don't need excuses - it isn't my fault that you suck, and don't even try to pawn it off on time either.
