I would like to see a poll on who everybody thinks is the best OTB player in this tournament.
Parent - By Schachmatt (****) [us] Date 2012-02-17 16:35
My guess is David, very speculative guess however, don't really know much about many of the participants.
Parent - - By keoki010 (Bronze) [us] Date 2012-02-17 16:39
:lol: I know whom it isn't; that's me!:red:

Can say the same, even, I may be fighting for the bottom spot with my 1400 elo :lol:

Since we din't know much about the others maybe we could go by the honor system.

Me around ------------1600 FIDE
Kam "        ------------0400 FIDE (:evil:)
Schachmatt-----------2100 FIDE (by his own admission)
Parent - - By Schachmatt (****) [us] Date 2012-02-17 17:38
2100 US, fide only 1916, haven't played much fide rated chess though
Parent - - By David Evans (***) [gb] Date 2012-02-17 18:37
natmaku has strong otb rating better than me i forget his rating its pretty decent.
Parent - - By David Evans (***) [gb] Date 2012-02-17 18:38
otb is not that important however a good eye and a good sense of danger is however needed
Parent - - By Wrath of the Titans (****) [sa] Date 2012-02-17 18:44
I had a decent rating during my youth in fact most of my friends became titled players while I focused mainly in my studies and career. I'm glad that I discovered computer chess and correspondence chess, enjoying it a lot.

Btw, there is a monkey at my back.
Parent - - By David Evans (***) [gb] Date 2012-02-17 18:46
Did you see my black game nak v the gm on infinity chess one bloody board...
Parent - - By Wrath of the Titans (****) [sa] Date 2012-02-17 18:48
Yes brilliant win. Congratulation it was a strong play.
Parent - - By David Evans (***) [gb] Date 2012-02-17 18:49
getting to finals is tough in this format
Parent - By Wrath of the Titans (****) [sa] Date 2012-02-17 18:52
Yes tough indeed. Lady luck seems at your side.

Thanks Matt, one of the true people here. I guessed maybe about 15% would answer truthfully. "pride goeth before a fall." As much as I try to open up here, most seem real guarded. Given the nature of the internet, I can understand in a way. Use "nom de plume's" to keep at a distance. No problem if a person feels that way. Some people know each other personally and have their well guarded cliques. Again, that's their choice.

I have found two people to trust in 58 years of life of life. God and my wife.

This most likely my last post here. I will let Garvin know if I plan to continue in plenty of time.
Parent - By Schachmatt (****) [us] Date 2012-02-17 20:26
idk... Most people are cordial, but just busy!  Stay well!
Parent - By Turbo (***) Date 2012-02-18 03:40
Ya Scott(y) keep cool, we're all glad that you play and post here! :-)
Parent - By Sebastian Boehme (**) [de] Date 2012-02-18 12:18
For what it's worth:

German rating around 1700, too.

Cheers,

I for one in my younger days had a 1968 rating. Thought I was pretty good, :smile: I played natmaku 3 casual (human) games on playchess and was wiped off the board. There may be some top players here, but if anybody ever wants to set up a small match, my money's on Alvin. :evil:
Parent - By Wrath of the Titans (****) [sa] Date 2012-02-20 09:12
I'm lazy now playing human games, I prefer to have a silicon friend beside me. :cool:
Parent - By Master Om (*****) [in] Date 2012-02-20 10:33
In that case ask Alvin to play me :-)
Parent - By David Evans (***) [gb] Date 2012-02-20 11:09
have to agree scott he has asked me a few times to play but iam aware he is decent otb so would prob smash me..
Parent - By ppipper (*****) [es] Date 2012-02-20 14:20
Although I feel much stronger nowadays, that was more or less my rating when I used to play in my OTB League some years ago. I will be back to otb in coming years.
