what about this for an upset?

Funny how Adram looks for any way possible to bash Littlemcniff even when it is an "only chess" forum. By the way that chess site is one of the best out there and LM's witty way to advertising it was funny.

I have known LM for years. I have never seen his USFC rating below 2250. I have seen him play many OTB games against GMs and IMs over the years and I find it sad that people want to believe in conspiracy. I have played him many times OTB and have seen him make mistakes that were crazy, but he'd come back and kick my butt. First time I saw him do this, I asked him why such a stupid move, and his response was "to see if you will find it"

One thing is for sure when his last ten games are up and he leaves, this site will be boring because it will lose one great player who helped many people learn the game. oh well now I am debating if I will renew my membership...

Too right.

I find it highly amusing that a player with an alleged USCF rating that has never fallen below 2250 has played so many "crappy games" on this site and been beaten time and time again by so many sub 1500 players.

For instance do these look like the standard of games that would be played by the number 1 player on the site

Game 2765395

Game 2729707

Game 2765332

There are many, many more examples. Littlemcniffy has even put my win against him in his profile lol

It really doesn't matter what is said about me anymore. People that know me love me, those that hate me will always talk trash.

no apparently it was a rather draconian measure, no explanation, none given, kind of
like Stalinist Russia, you post a game and wake up in the morning to discover that the
KGB came at dawn and removed it! Lol, our modulator friends must of had a reason,
although i see the game itself was posted elsewhere and yet it stands. Wait a minute,
it lives! How can one explain it? Magic?

No it doesn't. Flash got it right and it was what it was. And rightly so.

agreed! but we should be careful, there are not a few Colle extraction units and swat
teams lurking in the undergrowth, just one mention of it can incite a riot 😉

Shhh it happens.

Thats the problem with us lower rated players, too many games and too many mistakes.

Maybe in 4 months time after I join improveyourchess.blahblahblah I will be rated at 2400!

😲🙄

So how do you explain all his losses against us crappy players?

I don't see many players in the top 100 with a heap of losses against sub 1500 players.

Well, he was probably looking for God, but found his engine driver instead.
