I play fairly decent vs ark, although he beats me everytime, they're usually not crushing wins. I will beat him eventually 😛.

what the...why are everyone saying "ark is next akizy, ark plays brilliantly" etc etc.

seems like normal, only little better than average player to me.

Only people without a sense of reality say that. I was just a surprisingly good "1500" to Weadley, and that's how the thread got started. I'm not really that great.

Are there many walri who play at your level?

I'll judge how good you are in about nine years, when I'll have played for as long as you have now. 😉
