It takes a big man to admit that.

Those are much cheaper these days. 😛

And in some cases, they can be stored on a one Gig flash drive 😛

Looks like you are on quite a win streak. Now tackle some like-ranked opponents, that usually straightens it out for me pretty quick.

Haha wanted to see how this was progressing 🙂 Apparently the pressure of being such a genius has overcome him.

Surf's up dude!

I resigned 120+ games, so I have to start over again, I have severe mental illness lol.

My fellow chess players, Im currently doing my own personal investigation into the psychology of the human mind, how would one react to such a big statement, especially of a chess player, whom seem to have big egos. my fellow chess players, I love you all and I am willing to play and beat any one of you, god bless.

And the Nobel prize for modesty goes to...

this has always fascinated me as well, the correlation between chess and egocentricity. It is understood that one cannot help make mistakes, we are after all imperfect and prone to aberration, therefore to brow beat ourselves for silly mistakes seems to me to be counter productive. secondly there is the experience of losing not because of our own mistakes (blunders), but because our opponent simply outplayed us. Why are chess players such bad losers? Indeed, winning is fun and loosing is not, however it seems a strange phenomena, that somehow our egos prevent us from admitting that our opponents plans were better, his calculation more exact, his knowledge, technique and powers of imagination superior. what is with that?

I love you robbie, your analysis cannot be matched.
