No I don't think so it would like you beating a two year old and congratulating yourself at the end of it. It would be a complete walkover. Where's the fun in that? The fun is in the fight.

Much as I like a good fight I enjoy the complete walk over.
I always try and add that wee bit of panache.
I was curious how these guys could play 40-50 games at once so
I sent out 53 challenges and I would screen play all my moves and take
no longer than 5 mins a move.
I 'cheated' twice. Two games popped up where I simply could not resist
taking it to a full board.
Had loads of good fun winning about 35 drawing a few and losing the rest.
I lost just over 200 grading points.
I lost to the one move per day guys who took their time and to one
very silly opening blunder moving far too fast.
I get PM'd weekly to play or join a clan (I've seen the clan forum...no way)
I usually decline games as I like to keep the deck cleared.
Looking forward too, but then again not, logging on one day soon.
These things can eat up my time.
I get my fix doing blitz. Pity the blitz here is not frequented more often.
and finding all these round two games waiting.

As I very very rarely play 1....d5 v 1.d4 then no.
The Trap it contains has been sprung on here 20 times with
Black winning 19 of them - there is always one bod who screws it up.
It can be fairly succesful as the trap comes from a normal sequence of moves.
The Trap
matti72 - oroklini RHP 2012
The screw up was actually quite instructive - Black allowed a back rank
mate he could have prevented using the old switch back trick.
