I also know when I don't have a prayer, I'd have thought you would you have had the good sense to also know when the field is much stronger than you.

Well "the field" certainly is stronger than me but it's not always about who wins or loses, it's the enjoyment of the game and of course, the banter.

Admit it you knew neither you or I had a chance of winning. Just odds alone on how many higher rated players you'd have to get past.

What happened with group one?

Time out after a one digit number of moves hardly constitutes "crashing", does it?
