what can i say? I saw the new tourneys. And i am very disappointed to c that the Mini Duel started when i was still eating breakfast. I have never gotten into a single Mini Duel. The Mini grouped spring is full if i was smart enough to look in there the moment i got online. So i have no choice but to join the banded tourneys (which i hate) and the big tourneys. Very disappointed. (Probably gonna get my ass kicked)

Why do you hate banded tournys?
It's the only chance for us,low rated players,to have some glory in a tournament.
In grouped random,grandsplit or miniduel tournaments you'll find almost everytime a 1700-2000 player that will kick your butt.

your right Ravello. But i dont want to play 1200 and 1300s. Ok ok ok i do want to play them but for some reason my mind is telling me that i am supposed to hate it. (Im not crazy 😉 ) i mean i really want to get into the mini duel but i dont want to skip breakfast and wake up early just to get into a tourney. Whats up with this? Russ should start these tourneys at a later time. Maybe in the afternoon for us Americans 😉

Tlai why don't you try? If you go into a game thinking you are going to lose you probably will. I always start a game with a win in mind even against 2000 rated players.😉

I've read in many chess books that simply having confidence in your play is worth about 100-200 rating points! They say its really helpful to simply not look at your opponent's rating before a game in OTB match-ups, but of course on here that's much more difficult! 😉

problem is when i start a game against 1200-1300 i tell myself i should be able to win but more than half the time i lose

Originally posted by seraphimvulture Do you have a hide-rating button? Cause if you'd do, I'd certainly love to borrow it! 😉

If you ever have the guts to challenge me again (which I doubt) you better put masking tape over the screen to hide my rating; some of us actually improve our play rather than stagnating at the same level. Of course, it must be tough to work on your "game" when your trailer gets getting washed into the ocean every week!

Wow, someone went and got lucky in a few games!!! Nice rating. I shall challenge now and take pride in whipping some Freethinker arse!!!
Oh by the way, I also have raised up pretty well, now about 1650. Good luck to you!
