I have played 13 of the current top 20 players and have a poor showing for my efforts - 8w, 31l, 5d (I just checked.) I would consider any of them to be hard. I played most of them as they were climbing the ratings ladder. I would gladly play them all again.
My lose vs the player with the highest ratings at the time of the lose will be ReelemIn in the Alpha Duel Round 4 (should be soon.) I have 3 loses vs bbarr. Have also looked bad against fernando (3 loses), Jira(4 loses) and Knightmare_NJ (3 loses ). Lost twice vs Xeno when he was #1, who I think would be in the top 20 if he was here.
I think littlebear will be in the top 20 shortly (2 loses.)

David Tebb. I mean seriously, once all my book knowledge of openings ends, I play my hardest and with all my effort I still just can't beat or draw him. It's insane, it's like no matter what I do I end up with a worse position that he just cracks away at enough to beat me every time. I got pretty close once, but not good enough!
Originally posted by DustnrogersDustin, thanks for the friendly thoughts, but I am not one of the better players here, not even close. I have to agree that I always play blitz, but when I am not playing blitz, I don't have the patience to think more than 1 minute for a move.
I agree with silver...luck and myself have had many games together, splitting wins and losses...last couple games he has beat me, harri is a very talented player and if he took it slow he would be above 1700 rating...i am sure of that, as for myself, i have taken it slow and broken 1650, but i find because its correspondance chess it is just to slow for ...[text shortened]... er blitz players who could have higher ratings but dont really care because they love to blitz😀
I have played more than half of the top 20 players, including the top 4, usually with very poor results. Especially against David Tebb, Bennett (Bbarr), Curator, and Gilberrtt (Sintubin). I have won few games against players who have been or still are on the top 20. I actually had a couple of really good games with Fernando, my 2 first games at RHP, but I was only doing about 3 moves per day then. Now Fernando is much better and I am not, but I play a lot faster.🙂 Actually my rating was in lower 1700 range and I even made the top 20 for few days before I started to play blitz!
My biggest weakness is my lack of patience. I believe that I rank close to the top 100 players on this site!
Sincerely,
Harri a.k.a. Luck

Who is the hardest person you have ever played on RHP? Also, who is the highest rated person you have played?
I played most of the top 20, they are all good or very good players but curator is the best.
