09 Nov '12 00:20Originally posted by gambit05I did not think you would want to do the things I suggested. I said all that to point out the fact that you are going to have to live with your doubts and you are not going to be able to win every game if you play those at the top. All of us enjoy challenging games and like to win. But it is going to get boring if all you do is win.
I don't play the game for a rating and I don't play it for easy wins. I want challenging games versus strong opponents. Some wins, some losses, some draws. Most important is to enjoy them, to improve and to stand your ground to even stronger players over the time.
I am aware that occasionally one will face some cheaters, some blatantly use their engine ...[text shortened]... cheaters would be banned, if only the blatant ones. But it seems that this is out of control.

I am tired. Too much work to do. I don't find the time to properly think of good chess moves. The matchup of my games in the past couple of months is 50-something (top-3). However, the matchup of some of my opponents is 80 to over 90%. Do I really play human opponents?

My attempt to try to remove the appearance of a certain name from the thread list had more recognition than I expected. My thinking was that a blank post would remove the name of the previous poster from the list, but not hijack nor detract from the thread.
I was not completely successful, but I hope you ...[text shortened]... e are oblivious to the positive results of our efforts, and it's refreshing to be appreciated!

09 Nov '12 11:18Originally posted by gambit05It was Game 9107800 which I'm sorry to say you have recently resigned - but that is not the point. I came across the game about move 8 or 9 and bookmarked it because of the intriguing position showing at that moment. I enjoyed watching it and became absorbed in some your attacking ideas that you were threatening down the kingside. The way the material imbalance played out and even the gentle move rate of one or two a week just added to the "viewer experience". I felt that what you have said about the style of your play and your hopes for your games was clearly demonstrated despite the final result. Once again thank you.
Oh wow, thank you very much. You really cheered me up, more than you may think. Could you show which game you have watched?
