Hi, i'm new here so i have no doubts this has been talked about before, but i was just wondering about what we know of the top 3 players on this site. Ironman31, Akizy, David Tebb. Who are they, how are they so good, why whenever they play each other, its always a draw, and will Ironman31 ever lose again??

Is it really David Tebb or just someone wanting to use that name?

According to past evidence, unless there's a crazy fluke, nobody will.

Does Ironman ever check the forums

Yes he does, and he posts occasionally. I don't know him, don't get the wrong idea, but I have seen him post here before. BTW, there is another strong player here, a real life IM. He's working his way up the list now. I suspect that there are more than one titled players here, but they enjoy their anonymity.

I've seen Ironman31 post a couple times. He seems like a nice, cheerful guy. The quality of the English in his posts is pretty bad if I remember 🙂.

I've never had trouble understanding what he's saying. And it isn't his first language so it's not like he doesn't have an excuse.
