Originally posted by gambit3 I do not consider a player strong until they are rated at least 2650 in over the board play vs 2600 and higher rated players. Tebb is not that strong a player. Perhaps his correnspondence play is another matter. Tebb may be a very strong correnspondence player. There are no GMs in here to really test the top players.
Shut up, you're rated 1600 and dare talk about mr. Tebb.
Two defeats I'm afraid in rounds 8 and 9. I've not seen the games yet, but it should be pointed out that one game was against a Latvian GM, and the second was against consistently the strongest player in the Merseyside chess league in recent years, Gary Quillan.
Sorry to see that a spate of draws has broken out on the top boards.

At the risk of sounding stupid (or even worse, upsetting Ravello), in the Tebb-Quillan game, would white have been better with 32. g5 instead of 32. Bxc4, because it seems a shame to give up the bishop pair here.

Well, he isn't. Now, Fischer. Bobby was strong! But, Tebb? Lots of fishies have reaches his rating and never got paid crap for it. But, Kasparov has a mansion, because he truly was strong!

There are two players in here that I would like to hit in the mouth. Tebb is not one of those two. I have nothing against Tebb. I try to stay away from name calling, rudeness, cusing, insults, terrorist threats and slanderous actions. Voicing a opinion is another matter. Name calling, cusing, insults, terrorist threats and slander are against the TOS are they not. As I have seen it Red Hot Pawn does little about these things. Red Hot Pawn seems to only deal with multiple accounts, threats and P R O G R A M S.

You expressed your opinion. Based on that, others have expressed their opinion that you're clearly none too bright.
