@gertrude saidWhy do YOU even get involved gerty?
I'm sure you really care
but I could be wrong
he called you stupid a dozen or more times in this thread
but I'm glad you're ok with him
bless your little pea pickin heart
He admitted to having issues which took much courage on his part.
Why do YOU play both sides all the time, then sit back and watch for your amusement.
I think that makes you a very small person.

@very-rusty saidHe’s higher than that rusty. In our first games he made moves and had understanding of them and mine that show up in higher rated players. A different level of understanding than 1500 to 1600.
You got to watch Gertrude, more like a 1500-1600 player at least.

@very-rusty saidThat sounds great to me Ty. Ok I like you again๐.
I understand Mike, lets put that as water under the bridge.

@very-rusty saidI already know I’m higher than that, I just can’t stay focused and people distract me easy to be able to prove it??
Then Mike you are probably higher than 1500-1600!!! ๐

@mike69 saidThe best thing then would not be to talk during a game, or have any distractions. So you believe Gertrude is even higher than 1500-1600. If so I had his rating underestimated.

@very-rusty saidI’m just going off playing a wide range of people and what I’ve noticed. He may have just got really lucky on some of his moves. ๐

If you had the issue I’m having you would realize it goes much deeper with adhd than not talking. I haven’t made a house payment in 3 months even though I have plenty of money, along with other bills, losing everything non stop, times, dates, what I’m talking about to someone disappears totally from one word to the next and on and on. I could take meds and I might try them but haven’t and don’t really want to. Hope this helps to understand.
@mike69 saidWell the good thing is that you have the money, the bad thing is every time you don't make a payment interest is added, they love their interest.

When you played me where did you place me in Rating? Kind of hard to tell after two games I would think?

@very-rusty saidHonestly I just remember we played and I offered draws to try and not offend you. I did the same for dive but he just called me prick thinking I was insulting him. In reality at the time I found him interesting and just wanted to get to know him better and talk. The reason I don’t want to play is that my brain is so scattered I don’t know if I would win or not. My games are like a box of chocolate you never know what your going to get. That’s what momma used to say ๐๐๐. If you can accept that I will play you again if you like with that understanding.

@mike69 saidIf you feel you can beat me, I will not be offended. Look at my profile and you will see my losses. I have literally played thousands of games on here and also play on two other sites, one where I pay and am on a Team another where I don't pay, just play with friends I knew from my old chess club.

So you couldn't tell me where you figure I am rated after only two games. I expected that actually.

@mike69 saidUnrated would be good. On the house it’s an investment I bought to flip right before my divorce and never thought I would be living in it. I’m waiting on one last load of lumber and misc supplies and it will be up for sale. It should have been done four years ago but I kinda crashed and burned afterward and went from working three jobs one online, to where I’m at now. I’m hoping my chess gets better in a month after that stress is gone. Hopefully๐, I have two more places lined up to start developing.

@very-rusty saidI don’t remember looking at your stats just the last four or five moves on one of the games where I trapped your king above mine and I had to make an extra pawn move to get where I needed to be to safely offer the draw without leaving an opening for you. I’m being honest I lose in the 1200’s I don’t know if I can play a good game or not. I rushed you last time and didn’t really get to see how good you are.

@mike69 saidThere were time limits, so don't feel you rushed me, I've been told by higher rated players that I move to fast. They are correct of course, but I still win more than I lose, which my stats show.

I do believe you had me trapped very nicely in one game! I knew then you were a much stronger player than your rating showed. You made moves which didn't even look good to me then all of a sudden I see the reason for them, and it all made sense. I thought to myself I am playing a much higher rated player, I remember thinking that. Don't concern yourself about the red thumbs. I have a few fans on here who love giving red thumbs to me, and who ever happens to be talking to me. ๐
