I'm a big fan of Korch. His games are interesting and I appreciate his comments about chess. Also, he was kind enough to answer a few questions I asked him privately.
If I were in the market for a personal chess coach, I'd ask him. I think he'd be a tough teacher.

I've never been bashful about identifying a jerk. Korch isn't one of them, he's a nice guy. Your problems with Korch appear to be your problems, not his.

Only 4 more points and Korch will enter the top ten of the player tables, we are truly blessed to have a classy guy like Korch that shares his vast knowledge of chess with the only chess forum.

Thanks Korch and Congrats!
Korch is only 24, I have no doubt he's going to become the number 1 in this site, in a few years

Akizy is gonna be hard to dethrone... he plays slow and he's extremely strong. 2 games vs him could take you over a year (even if played simultaneously) and even if you could win one of the two (highly unlikely, double draw is more probable) your rating would only catch up that little bit. I'd give akizy quite a while in #1 before even weyerstrauss catches up.

You don't have to beat him. Consistently beating players above 2200 will do the trick but no losses permitted.

True, but once you make it to the top 2, it is almost obligatory that you play the other top player at some point (at least, it should be). Of course, they are all demi-gods anyway, and couldn't care less what I think on the matter 🙂
