    Since everyone is so interested....on chess-mail.com my only tourney is #7759. Have a look..you'll see out of 4 games my score is 2 draws and 1 win. The last game is even material (middlegame) with my opponent having the better position. If I manage to draw , my final score will be 3 draws , 1 win. Not exactly bowling them over. (for a super GM engine).

    If you want to play a genuine front page player then wait a bit, get a few decent wins under your belt, then challenge someone like David Tebb. If you want to play a chess engine, try Ulf t.

    It's yet to be determined if he/she can dispatch 1700-1900 players.
    I have it arranged so all he/she needs to do is send over the game(s)
    I'm no GM, but I get lucky sometimes and find a decent line or two. 😕

    I'm a GM let's look at the evidence of such. I move often without thought so as to confuse my opponent and often myself. My moves are so strange they must be from a -3000 engine that's minus not plus (look at my rating) plus 2800 divided by 4 is 700 which is almost my rating so as you can see (as mskchess/robbiecarrobie would say) dear chess friends grand masterbis well within my reach...but if you would like a match please send one over...I'll give a clinic on how not to use the explosive english opening

    I played David Tebb in the 2nd round of the 2014 Championship.

    In each game I thought I was OK, then I thought I was a little worse, and then I was lost.

    Usually I have a very clear idea of why I lost, and when it happened. Against him, it wasn't about moves, it was about plans, and I had to re-evaluate what I was trying to do more than just trying to find a better move or two.

    It is well worth the experience to play him.

    Well I screwed up, I got Woad to chal me but I didn't even look at the time clock thing, he set up a 1 day timeout. So I lost, thinking I had three days.

    Would never have accepted that game if I had seen that. A good lesson for me, eh.

    At least we know where he stands on the skull-clicking debate.
