I never boasted, other people were saying I could beat you, not me. I knew you were a good player and that's why I wanted to play you. And I didn't leave because I blundered away a piece. If we would've finished the games, and if I were to lose, I would've congradulated you on the wins and move on. Instead, we didn't finish the games and you haven't moved on. If you want to beat me for real than play me. Just stop complaining about it.
'And the reason I posted is cause if I sent him challenges he'd probably delete them, it makes it harder to decline if he's challenged in a public place.'
Funny isn't it. That you abandoned the games and not me.
Why offer to play again now? You can't be serious!

Sorry, every time I see that turd mentioned it does something to me inside, cant help it.
did Fischer really say that? He's better known for saying 1. e4 is "best by test."
As far as your comment about 1...e5, maybe with perfect play black won't equalize, but that's probably true with any opening. Black's practical chances are about as good as any other opening at any rate.

Originally posted by BowmannHow is that boasting? I wanted to play you and figured you'd delete the games if I just challenged you so I made a thread about it. And yes I know the irony, but you can't think that I'm going to leave again. I have much fewer games and have no reason to leave. Not that you'd play me again anyway.

Originally posted by GalaxyShieldIf you HAD to leave for a reason, you ought to have let me know. You didn't need to give the reason but simply to notify me. You vanished without a word, something I would never do.

On your return, you will have had an opportunity to apologize. But you didn't.
Originally posted by TRAINS44If he doesn't want to play me that is fine; I'm not going to cry about it. But the thought that I should "leave well enough alone", simply because somebody is "underrated" or "T-O-U-G-H" flies in the face of why I play chess or participate in any type of competition.
I think Mr. Tmetzler better leave well enough alone. Bowmann is T-O-U-G-H to beat. He is WAY underrated.
I like to seek out those tough opponents; I would have thought that you would agree with me in that respect.

Originally posted by BowmannDude, what are you talking about? I posted a thread in the general forum stating my departure. Now you're just making stuff up and it's getting old. And I admit I should have apologized, and I'm sorry for that.

Originally posted by tmetzlerAnd I most certainly do, Mr. Tmetzler. Also well said!
