Mr Simpson if I remember rightly you are currently competing in the " Ladies Open sponsored by arrakis 1300+".

When are you due to have the Op?

I made the same mistake, I think s(he) is actually female but just uses Homer Simpson as a comical name? Or maybe I am just being naive as you don't get many transsexuals in my sleepy surrey town

errrhmm, well done Watson, I was wondering who would spot that first😉 well I suppose there are a lot worse things than dressing in women's clothes at least he does it openly by entering women's tournaments

I even went over 1400, 1429 to be exact.
And now I'm 1300 again. 😞

Do you use opening databases? (I do as well as most players on the site...I know there will be a load of replies now saying 'I don't' but trust me most do on this site) if you do not, I really think there's at least 150 points just in that alone (certainly at the beginning...fortunately as you keep using them you start to remember certain preferred responses, which is good as otb chess is my main proirity (not cc))
