Rahim,

I'm looking at this thread and taking in what your saying. Someone on this site 1900+ was kind enough to play me and give me advice when i was 1000+ (just).
Just from him spending time playing one game against me over a few days has helped me to get to nearly 1300. And another guy in one of my Clan League games was nice enough to talk me through ...[text shortened]... sser players who want to learn and play honestly appreciate threads like this one,

Thanks

You are welcome.

But since my rating is lower and I'm therefore dumber than you please go ahead and explain me why you keep using that sentence (in other words, so that an ignorant like me can be enlightened by your wisdom). What's your point exactly?

And please as I said earlier, don't assume I'm crazy. I just think you are full of............

LK,

Honestly i cannot see what the problem with this thread is,
Rahim is offering advice to players of a lower ratin than 1400, he is higher than that rating and is offering his help in us getting there.
The more players that reach that rating, the better games you will have.

Am i missing something???

YOUR RATING SPEAKS FOR YOU . Ponder on that if you must.

As for your:

You must be crazy if you think you are helping anybody. You are just wasting everybody's time in RHP forums my man

Whether I am wasting there time or not, it does not concern you.

You must be crazy if you think you are helping anybody. You are just wasting everybody's time in RHP forums my man.

There's no problem mate. I'm sorry. I send my apologies.

I just think he is not competent to do that at all. I don't think anybody should listen to him.It's absurd...

Not competent?

I'll show you how competent I am when my OTB rating gets updated. It's late as usual. But I refer you to this Jerk:


The Edmonton Reserves was much bigger than usual this year, with
41 players overall. This annual Open Swiss tournament runs at the
same time as the Edmonton Championship, for eight-rounds through
January and February. The Reserves included several Expert and A-
class players who were knocked out of the early rounds of the Edmonton
Championship.

But even the Experts couldn't catch Rahim Khataw, who shot out to
an early lead with five straight wins, and never looked back. Khataw
finished with the fantastic score of 7/8, which will rocket his rating
up by almost 150 points into A-class. In fact, Khataw had already
secured the tournament victory before the last round started, since
his nearest rival, David Ostapchuk, had to withdraw from the
tournament due to illness. (David had 6/7 and was suppose to play a 2017 player, and I had 6.5/7 facing a 2047 player next round. So basically he had to win, and I had to lose for him to win clear first.)

Round 8 results:

Board 1:
Rahim Khataw (1706) 1/2-1/2 Vlad Rekhson (2047)
Sicilian O'Kelly. Khataw played well against his very strong
opponent, and was up a pawn in a rook ending when Rekhson offered a
draw. Rahim accepted, although I think he could have tortured Rekhson
with the extra pawn for a while. A Topalovian 7.5/8 would have looked
cool on the crosstable.
