Originally posted by fierytormentI haven't looked at any of his games for comparison and analysis, so I can't say. I have no interest in doing so either, I prefer to concentrate on my own games.
Plus Oliver, just look at his white openings, they are pretty much all the same....... shouldn't that tell you something?
Having said that, if two players have the same white openings, it doesn't mean that they're the same player.

You're right, you don't, at least not for this thread. But if you make a statement like that without support, then the statement itself is worthless. Then I question why someone would say something like that in the first place.
Originally posted by fierytormentHmm, there's always the possibility of two different people making the same openings and same moves over hundreds of games. There are so many chessplayers in the planet that the possibility is feasible.
When there is a consistent openings and the same moves over hundreds of games, it is pretty safe to say they are the same person. No one can dupilcate the exact moves he does except himself period. end of story
On this site the possibility is remote. At any rate, I'd expect two or three other pieces of support for it to be a slam dunk case.
My 2p for the thread.
