It seems like there are some players here who are obsessed with their rating.
To the point of it consuming them, and taking over their sanity.
I play here to have fun, and get better.
It seems like a good opertunity to get away from blitz, and, the randomness of speed chess.
Corespondence Chess is a great way to get analytical, and explore the many great nuances of this great game.
It seems a pity there are a few players who take losing to an extreme

Originally posted by GrandmousterI know what you mean I found myself doing that on yahoo and used to get upset when I was beat by a much lower rated player, so I decided to disintegrate (resign at the point of winning) my rating and just play for fun. It did cross my mind to do it here, but as I like to play in tournaments it would not be fair where there is a rating ceiling and I know from the clan leagues that I really struggle against >2000 players so playing in opens leaves me no chane of winning (although I am playing in the 2006 site championship, but that's different as I think it's good to be part of that competition).

The more i study, the better ill get, and my actions will speak volumes.
There are a precentage of people in society whos only game is to make other people misrable.
I know how to spot these people, and thus dont get affected by them as much as other people.
But sometimes its fun just to try to match the general Tone of these people, and play their game for a while

Originally posted by GrandmousterThe only reason we were taking jabs at you was because you claimed prosoccer was cheating and didn't prove it.

Then for some dumb reason, you posted a game you were playing against someone in that same thread claiming he was a cheat, which obviously got deleted. Yet you were to dumb enough to notice and kept rumbling on about it, claim cheat this and that, while we all thought you were still talking about prosoccer.
So it's not us, it's you.
