    other than that, I was referring to CC play.
    I hate to be fighting in Squelchbelch's corner but virtual means "only online" not necessarily implication of cheating. This is like those who get high scores in CTS but cannot translate this to improved performances FICS/ICC/Playchess. A high CC rating does not mean you are good or as good OTB.

    there are people who never hide nor deny facts even if it's not exactly flattering for them. and there are people who lie about everything starting from their nationality.

    it's quite clear to me which ones to trust.

    Yes I was talking about having a high virtual rating but being toothless OTB or FICS/ICC/Playchess. Wormwood, you don't happen to fall in this category by any chance? Hehe Hehe .....

    i have to admit that there is a certain integrity and honesty about a player that has the guts to document his progress and failures in all aspects of the game, whether OTB, CC or otherwise, and not only that, but as a direct consequence of this, success awaits him due to the fact that he is willing to look at his mistakes and try to gauge where they were erroneous, don't you think?

    What kind of openings do you like, Jie?
    What do you think of the Morra gambit, for instance?

    I'm sick of people who are not real chess players dude. Everybody knows we are looking for 128 players and you have people posting in the forums only and not playing chess. Should we line them up and shoot them?

    Dude, I hope you realize its not against the rules to participate in the forum only.

    What defines "people who are not real chess players?"

    Because if it means what I think it does, you must hate 95% of the worlds population.
