Originally posted by JS357looks like he left the site. many players here dont care about rating, and just want some more experience in a certain opening and a way to strengthen up for OTB. if things come up in their life they might rather stop playing corr. than OTB if they only have the time to carry on with one.
I am concluding based on seeing winning players like Ross Bollivant stop playing partway thru an on-line tournament and lose the rest of their games on timeouts, that is is good strategy to play slowly against good players. Are there any other outside-the-game strategies?
