@rowin-side saidWell, as it was me sir who provided you with the name 'Lame Duck' it might as well be me who validates it.
My loss will be due to Suzianne distracting me.

You done that?......

@ghost-of-a-duke saidThen it appears you may be Sandbagging your own rating, and no I've never Sandbagged my rating to that extent. Perhaps you should be in the Lemondrop Clan. 😛 😉

@very-rusty saidNo, I believe my current rating is a fair reflection of my playing ability. (But doesn't exclude me from beating higher rated opponents, now and then).

@ghost-of-a-duke saidSo, are you saying it is something rare that happens? I too have beaten higher rated opponents but not 400 points higher. The point I was making was in your 2 wins your opponent was roughly 200 points lower than you meaning you actually should win those the majority of the time. Having said that, I do believe 200 lower or higher is fair in a Challenge, providing both are playing at their TRUE rating.

@very-rusty saidHis rating wasn't 200 lower than mine when I played him. Obviously. Our clan only does fair challenges. It's one of our core values.

@ghost-of-a-duke saidWhat was it then? It wasn't far from 200 points lower. You said yourself you've beaten a player around 2200, so he would be very low rated. Especially if you beat those 2200 players on a consistant basis. You certainly haven't done it on here, you've only played 256 in 3 years isn't it? 😉

@ghost-of-a-duke saidI know you don't play many chess games, now throwing insults will not help your argument~! 😛 😉

You don't even know what his rating was starting the game do you?
