Just reacting to this:
(a minor complication that most of skeeter's detractors neglect to recognise she does mostly do well)
As I am one of the "detractors" AND in the top 20 I just want to state that Skeeter's chess ability's are good but certainly not of best player of RHP status. The main reason she's at the top spot is timing out high rated playe ...[text shortened]... inst (very) high rated players that I looked at she was in a lost position or equal at the most.
I'd put a £1000 pounds on the Iron Man, that he makes Skeeter weep like a little girl that has not been picked for a school team, if playing her OTB or here ...
BTW Michelle, I know that you read this, so why not challenge me, I plan to go on holiday in 2008 so no worries of winning against me...
Seriously, Michelle, I'm really dissapointed by the way you (a) lack any sense of sportsmanship and (b) how you react to people criticising you for such. Get some balls (pun intended) and win fair and square like the rest of us...
And moderators, if you read this
PLEASE DO NOT CLOSE YET ANOTHER GREAT THREAD !!!
Freedom of speech people (which includes pre-mature posts using fcuk words !!)

play only against players who have been rated 1650 - 1700 for 20 or 30 games with no signs of increasing.
they will be sufficient to safely gain 1 rating point for each game.
(higher rated players risk a draw, and lower rated players give no rating points)
p.s. i am rated 1670 ish ;-)

skeeter rattles:
What a load of crock. In case you haven't noticed I only enter in open tourneys so the rating criteria does not apply. Whats more if you really think that I need to stoop to those tactics to obtain 'points' you should get councelling and/or therapy.
skeeter (flex who?)

sorry i didnt make myself clear - i do not mean to suggest you are doing this trick.
in fact you seem to be playing many high rated players.
this suggested trick is for anyone who can.
there are at least a couple of dozen players here who could play me and my poor playing peers hundreds of times over and win ever game.
any of those players could get to 2250+ by doing this.
As a new user of the site can I just say you elites (is that the right word?) aren't making me really keen to become a frequent user/subscriber.
I am sure I could find plenty of "chat rooms" to get abused in for one reason or another and if this skeeter chick is as cunning as you all say, then she should be a shoe in for the next "survivor" show CBS roll out. Get your entry in now skeeter!
For the record, I take time outs because I think I must be playing a time waster. As a non-subscriber I get 6 precious games to run concurrently, and i want to learn as quickly as possible and I have met plenty of cool people already on the site.
It's just my opinion girls. Don't bother responding. Chat to you on the boards.
