Your rating is getting progressively worse; keep working on your game “old pal” π
You know your Clanmates would love to see you work on your game and improve. π

@very-rusty saidI tip my hat to those who can play consistently like you’re doing. Before every game I tell myself I’m going to go slow, set up, and play with balance. Then something clicks wrong and I go go go, the faster the more funππ.
Thanks Mike, I am always working on my game. Sometimes my opponents rating showing isn't their actual rating they are quite often rated higher. I am trying to improve by getting beat up in the "Ghost Chamber", many strong opponents in there. I believe I have actually been learning some things, after all these years of playing.

I was in there for a while then got kicked out, out of the blue? I tried starting a couple game’s but no one accepted and no other activity like you’re mentioning? Glad things are different and it working for you keep it up.

Like yourself I have to slow down my moves, I am still blitzing most of my moves. A few of the guys in the "Ghost Chamber" are trying their best to get me out of that habit but hard when you been doing it for 13 plus years on here plus more years in over the board games in person. I haven't had one of those in years. It would take some getting use to I assume.
I have no idea why you were kicked out. I was surprised I was even allowed in to begin with. I've known the majority of them by their usernames for many years.

@very-rusty saidI had a friend in high school that I played on a board with but not since. In person tournaments sound fun but would take some getting used to. I tried another site a little where you can play games straight through but the board color and format messes me up and it’s just very aggravatingπ!

Well, at least you admit it. I'm taking 3 days on the position that you take 3 hours... maybe, to respond. Oi π

You know it really is hard to try and break that blitzing habit as most of my games in 13 years with my old clan were blitzed. I know you guys are right, and I am working on it. If I take 3 hours that is great for me!!!! π 3 Days? I may be presumed dead!

@very-rusty saidIt’s all relative Rusty, and you’re certainly getting more Rusty! π
When it gets as bad as yours I'll retire, so I figure by that time I will be dead! π π

@divegeester saidLOL@ Gooster! When I hit 1050 where you are, I'll pack the chess in and take up checkers! π π

@very-rusty saidIf you’re putting in all this work on you’re game, then why is your rating getting progressively worse?

@divegeester saidYou are telling me it is getting worse silly, I don't think you know any better. Having a pop???? π

@very-rusty saidWell it’s right there in your rating graph old pal; your game is one the decline. You should put some more effort to improving so you can help your clan mates out more.

@divegeester saidPut your glasses on and look at the graph again, you got eye issues it is on the climb close to 1500 again. Have you ever been to 1500??? π You don't have to answer! π

Have you made it back to 1200 yet???? π
You really need help!!!

@very-rusty saidYou were nearer 1700 a while back. You’re clearly not putting enough effort into supporting your clan mates.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the PM’s I’ve received from one of them wasn’t true!
@divegeester saidI haven't been close to 1700 in YEARS literally YEARS!!!!

You haven't been close to 1200 in a very long time. Sitting between 1050 and 1100 right now you are. Arguing with me will not help your chess rating even a little bit. π
No one sent you a P.M., stop with your lies!

@very-rusty saidSo all this effort you’re putting into improving your game isn’t working.
I haven't been close to 1700 in YEARS literally YEARS!!!!
Shame.
