Originally posted by Drew LHe or she has only played 2 other players, so of course he's only played players in a limited range of rankings. They're just 3 friends who want to play each other in chess. That explains the funny 6-queen thing. They just enjoy the game! Good on 'em (or him, if it's only one person!).
If you notice, the player rated 1500 has never played anyone rated over 1250
(Edit: His two opponents also only play a small group of other players.)
