Yes, we're a small country. Only five times bigger than the UK.

I've only visited Africa once. I had never even heard of the country I had to go to (Gabon) so I looked it up on the internet and found out it was larger than the UK!
Originally posted by davidgrayson There' something wrong here. White could have mated on the
5'th move. There is no way white can have a rating of 2000+
There are many reasons why a player may be able to go from 1200 to over 2000 within 1 year.
This thread gives us all inspiration!
One of the worst of my games in this site. After losing one pawn and sacrificing second pawn for some counter play I gave up third pawn because of wrong position of my chess set.
So far I've only had one really wretched blunder (vs. Karami)*knockwood*. Plenty of other bad moves and bad positions but most were at least semi-plausible, and versus opponents who had to play well to exploit my errors (Ex: east in Game 4291049).
I was very worried vs. a 1200 player in Game 3403379 - 10.f4 and 11.fxe5 were just appalling.
Also 1500-rated Najdork had me in a head-squeeze in Game 4577197 but I wriggled out of it.
