Originally posted by KeplerOK. I think you are right - not unfair.
I don't see it as being unfair. I might as well claim that my 20 year old son has an unfair advantage because he has a better memory and has youth on his side.
But do you support my suggestion of introducing random chess in RHP-not just the ability to play it, but organizing tournments etc.?
I believe lots and lots of RHP players would be inetersted in playing random chess tournments.
And more people will feel compelled to join RHP.

Originally posted by Dragon Firedragon fire this might surprise you, but i didn't actually read your illogical ad hominem rich post. But if you would be so kind, just provide some counter examples, i.e. demonstrate these new and unknown ideas that using databases have uncovered. i admit it can be a useful tool for some here, i just happen not to be one of them.
Following your reasoning it would be unreasonable for a Doctor to consult a DB of drugs to treat an obscure condition, a Lawyer could not consult his tomes of past decisions and the Judge couldn't either so must make an instant decision and myself as an Accountant would not be allowed to look up tax tables but must commit them all to memory.
Wake up a pt that your laziness is the sole reason why you cannot improve and stop looking for excuses.

Originally posted byThank you, it is indeed a fact that i have learned little if anything.. other that even a compleat self-absorbed idiot can learn how to type, go online and play chess. Think cludi, clivestraddle, seadevil, ironman, blitz chatrooms, etc. i'm sure the list is endless.
Has anyone learned from previous posts?

sure you wouldn't. Let's see, who adopts the cowardly lion approach and who doesn't, who is responsible and who isn't, whose rating does drop by several hundred points OTB and whose doesn't? Try again.
Perhaps you are too fearful of this because you know that I would beat you, DB or no DB.
