    The way he responded suggests he only played lower-rateds at the start of his RHP career as he was finding his feet whilst a provisional.

    I personally appreciate a game with higher ratedplayers. My rating doesn't take much of a hit if I lose, and I gain some good insight

    With a rating difference of 300 points this doesn't say anything.

    Read these threads in which z00t have showed his arrogant attitude against Grob and other openings which are not for cowards. I challenged him to show how can he refute Grob. He did accept my challenge and failed to find refutation (even when I did not play opening the best way).

    Korch was lucky because I was tired and was even losing to 1500s at that time on Playchess, since I have no vacation flag at RHP I soldiered on.

    This is what would happen to DragonFire if he played me at blitz

    You can try to refute Grob against me now when you are not tired 🙂

    I want to discipline Smaug and DF first as they are making a lot of noise in the forum. Smaug is boasting that he can win against me with 200 games in progress so we want to see that happen.

    z00t choses his opponents in open invites or through messaging, I meet all of mine in tournaments, some are 1300, some less, some are 2000 or more they are not pre-selected. Do you see where I'm coming from?

    You cannot compare my games as a provisional player to what you and DF are doing now. I was such a newbie at RHP that some guy offered me a challenge that was unrated and I bashed him not knowing it was for no points. By the way Open Invites are not preselected. Anyone can hoover your open invite based on the rating limits.

    Dont you know why I`m not surprised seeing you avoiding again? 😀
    (for people who doesn`t know - I needed some time to make him accept challenge in Grob first time, because z00t tried to avoid playing with me)

    You are the one who is playing funny chess the grob and funny Sicilians instead of "proper chess". Play how Fischer, Kasparov and Anand play instead of hiding like that. Why do you or don't you think your opening choices don't appeal to the top Pros?

    Can you say why must I copy top GM`s if I
    don`t like their opening choices and none of my opponents (including foolish cowards like you) cant find unarguable refutation of my "funny chess" ?

    Maybe your answer is "Because z00t can`t win Korch if z00t is not able to catch him in opening trap" or maybe "Because z00t is too arrogant and foolish to refute mickey mouse openings"? 😀 😀 😀

    Doesn't say much for you if you can't beat someone who is playing funny chess

    Surely chess is about evolving new positions and if korch can do that and win then he is doing something right.

    Why have so many original chess openings gone out of fashion? Its because modern day players find different ways to play. It doesn't mean that these original chess openings are wrong, just that they are no longer fashionable.

    Just look at korchs' funny chess as the new fashion for 2008.

    🙂
