In hindsight, of course, I agree with your bottom line pigeon hole of 'naievete' even though 'benefit of the doubt' was in play at the time.
Glad you finally realize this user was not on the level. Great sleuthing, Sheerluck Holmes.

Agree (qualification: respect is often due the office/position if not the individual). A relaxed attitude toward strangers is still in my 'brown bag'.
Just sayin'...

There you are listening to him hit notes off, miss notes, just sounding like crap.
You decide to shake his hand and tell him how wonderful it is to meet this guy... this guy who obviously just lied to you.
That is what you did in this thread. All the evidence shows this user in no way was any kind of good chess player (see my first post page one and more), yet you welcome them with open arms as others do not buy the lies.
It might be naivety on my part to think anyone could be as gullible as you. This is truly mind numbing.
