Yes, tough guy. My win:draw:loss record is 3:4:3.

Funny thing is I beat him easily in '08 (2:0), in '10, he won 3 games and I won one, and in '11 we draw all 4 games.
Not so strange actually....
I started playing chess again in 2007 after a 30 year break.
I made some progress in the last 6 years, as I have a good amount of spare time to study chess.

...Apart from that, I have a lot of bad results against quite some page one players. For some reason I will not mention them together with Atticus2 😛
You don't want to make me feel ashamed of being no longer good enough for page 1. That's kind of you 🙂

Or the opposite.... You deserve to be a page one player.
A lot of the actual page one players don't !

How do you feel about me analysing 20 of your most recently completed games vs RHP 2000+ rateds, all of which have 35 or more moves with Batch Analyzer & Houdini, then publishing the results in these forums?
It would be interesting to see how well an honest player correlates to a strong engine.

It wasn't my intention for this thread to be one about accusations and witch hunts, but I only have myself to blame.

I know every thread devolves into a theme about RJHinds and/or engine cheats, so I shouldn't have expected anything different, but I always hope.

Perhaps if we publish our wins against him, we can find a common thread or a weakness. Of course, he'll learn, too, but in the end that's what is it about. We'll all get better in the long run!


I thought it was a very reasonable suggestion, though User 350028 doesn't seem keen on it.

You can analyse what you want if that feels good to you.
I don't care. I (and all other players here) cannot judge the value of that.
What is it worth when you only played here 30 games since 2008.
What is it worth when you did not play at all during the past 395 days?

I played about 6000 games in 6 years. I learned something I think....
I won about 70% of my games, which is quite normal when the majority of those games are played against lower rated players.

The only thing you do on this site is producing some verbal garbage in too many threads.

I would recommend you to play chess or to leave this site! 😀


Play on a site where even the most obvious engine users haven't been banned for the last 2 years. No-names playing above GM standards in terms of engine-like chess with dozens of games in progress...
Why on Earth would I want to do that?

Perhaps back to topic - raise a glass to a nice guy (Jan that is) and he knows how to play chess. PS I got a draw once!!!! (out of 10). Cheers for the hidings.

Maybe the way to go is to counter his Sicilian with the deadly 2.Bc4!

Wow, how did you find those?
Nice to see some games from 2007, when I was young!

Jan.

I apologize as I can fully understand now why you would not play here.

As you told before in this thread, you are using "Batch Analyzer & Houdini".
Maybe you should join an enginechess site?

I don't think anyone should be reluctant to see their own figures. Besides it would seem that now they are of curiosity value only. Most people will have made their mind up one way or the other without seeing the figures anyway. There are easier ways to spot the train drivers. Some of them seem capable of getting both feet in their mouth at once while wearing great big clowns shoes.
