Originally posted by RJHindsI'm sure there are plenty American Christians on this site who don't cheat. Anyway, you should be worshiping me as a prophet as I predicted that you would spurt computer chess analysis and religious bile. Spooky.
In my case, I believe it is prejudice against an American Christian who is outspoken about how stupid it is to believe in the theory of evolution.

If there are any intelligent Americans on here please give me a shout so that I know you exist. Just saw a survey that over 50% of graduates in the USA thought a god had some hand in creation...?!!!
Surely people who are intelligent enough to play chess should be a little wiser so on here we should have some who know better...

(And I wish I could say the same thing to the "engine" witchhunters, but alas, they are on-topic here. Almost(!) as odious as fundamentalism, but on-topic.)

Originally posted by Shallow BlueMaybe he wouldn't have a 2200+ rating and then claim he has problems "visualizing knight forks". Ron isn't even that high up the player table. It's his own chess related comments which have focussed attention on his rating. Your rating is around 1500 but if you then come on the forum and claim you have no idea how the pieces move or what checkmate is people might wonder how your rating got that high. He should have taken the ( silent ) advice of others. zero posting = no foot in mouth.
Of course he would.
Me, I'm grateful I'm just a hack.

Originally posted by thaughbaerThe only face I know is 🙂 . (I don't know how to type in bold or most other functions either.) I clicked reply and reposted the smiley under greenpawn's. Then, when it posted I noticed his and mine, so I had to edit out what I was replying to. I'll be the first one to tell you that I am a little ignorant about computer usage. Everything I know, I have picked up by myself.
How is it that you needed 1 edit for this ?
* In my haste, I did leave out the simplest way. It would have been click reply and quote (as I did), copy gp's post, back up, reply, and just paste what I copied. It would have been cleaner, without the edit, but I went too fast.
