A lot of the time I select a lower rated player because he has a game time more to my liking or has asked for a player in area of my rateing. When I offer a game I do not select a rating so anybody may accept it. Most all the time it is accepted by a low rated player. At such times I have little control over who I will be playing. I play whoever accepts. I never delete a game.

Who are you to say what a record means to someone other than yourself? I would much rather have a winning record than the losing one I currently have. You are the one who is wrong.

It's actually my record using an opening, and I'd brag about my rating with it if I could calculate that - but I can't.

Originally posted by dmnelson84I don't care about it. I care about how I do with the KG, in fact, my record with it doesn't mean crap if all of those players that I beat are rated 1100 (they weren't). Like I said, I'd have the rating with it there if I had the motivation to calculate that.
