Metallica had many people who had a lot of time for playing chess many of us were retired too or some of us were semi-retired which means a lot of time on our hands so were able to play many more games. Now some clans refuse to play us. So we would have to win a very high percentage of Clan Challenges to have a chance.

I would say Breaking Bad is now the Clan to beat in ...[text shortened]... gure why even bother to play if your not play to win??? Then that is my way of looking at it.

I play to win and I try to be courteous if I do.

I hate when people find some hole in the rules (like throwing games in a "decided" challenge) to gain an advantage.

And I hate the behvaiour whenpeople who have to rub in that they won.

And I hate when people tell me that they won because they played the "system" clever.

So in the "Schachnovelle" I feel with the protagonist who is brought to his knees becuase the opponent "played the palyer" and waited with hie moves as long as possible. It was legal. And he won. And he deliberatly played a different game than chess.

I've never told you anything that was NOT courteous to my recollection.

As far as throwing games when a challenge is decided. If it is WON and the opponent is holding it up because they don't want you to start another challenge, I would throw the game in a heart beat. Does that make me more wrong than the person who is holding the challenge up so another one can't be started???

Who claims they played the 'system clever'? You of course don't have to say in the public forum but if you want P.M., me and tell me. I've never heard that one from anyone.
