Considering I beat him twice in blitz I tend to feel he is not Short.
He claims to be him though, saying how he had a match with Kasparov and such, saying his rating is 2645. Sure, and I am Judith Polgar. Thats why I beat him twice🙂

The GMs prefer to play correspondence chess at another site (iccf), which is nowhere near as good as this site--trust me--because the ratings there are recognized by FIDE. Anyway, I *doubt* he's the real deal.

Not saying that this one is the real one, But he doesn't have to restrict himself to one site.

When I play Nigel I will make short work of him. GET IT? HAHAHAHAHAHA

Somebody named Bobby Fischer from Iceland declined my challenge about two months ago. Could it be . . .?

Edit: for you slower people, out there, yes! this does imply that I am Bobby Fisher! and I'm not off my rocker!
