Is this a new thing now?

Stees ... don't do it!
Ether one of them wins they'll take you down to their level and then win on experience!

Thanx for your concern “Red” but I fear no one…in chess.👍

@Great-Big-Stees said
I’ll take on the winner.👍😁

My suggestion would be to play each other.... LOL.... Gooster should win, but he may get cocky against you. I know I am too good for him and it is just a waste of my time, now if it was for Clan Challenge points I would do it but Gooster's Clan Admin wouldn't set it up, that I know for a FACT. There is too much of a gap between us and I am not going to sandbag just to get my rating way down to his level. 🙂

Let me know when you’re up for a game.

Hey Dive! If you want to play Rusty just play outside the clan, then you have a friendly game and no worries on how each of you play.

Also I think you have more wins against me. I had hoped you and I would have a game. I remember our games were fun and always really close.

You are on my buddy list so you can start two games with me anytime. Each playing white and black. Ask Rusty to play outside the clan. I'm sure he will play you.

One to one.

I'm confused. Why not play outside the clan if you want to play him? It' s the only way you can play him. His rating is way to high for you.

Yep, you’re definitely confused.

He’s refusing to do that, while thumbing up your post advising me to do that.

Forum gold.

Dive, I have never known Rusty to turn down a challenge. I read everything, did I miss something? I can't imagine Rusty saying no to a two game challenge outside the clan match. If I am wrong, then he must have his reasons.

I've asked you to play. I don't care if you crush me in both games. I think we are about the same level. In the early years we played quite a few, I think you came out ahead. You can check and see yourself if you don't believe me.

Why don't we play a friendly match? You are on my buddy list.

I'd have balked at her accent, not the pickles.

OK, I'll bite: Dr. Pepper and Polish garlic pickles. If you can swallow that, Bob's yer uncle.

I am not going to waste my time on nothing games with someone I don't even care for a little bit. Just a waste of my time where I could be concentrating on Clan games and Team games on another site. If Gooster were friends with me it would be a different story and he is the only one on here I wouldn't play for nothing.

You are correct I would play anyone but him as I don't care for him and we all know the feeling is mutual. I just can't stand the guys persona, and better than thou attitude he has. Hell he wouldn't even play Clan games against you and he has actually beaten you!!! I can assure you he is not on my buddies list!! 🙂

The End!

My deepest apologies. I should have checked with you first. I thought I knew something, when clearly I didn't. Lesson learned. I know better to, so I really sincerely apologize. I have to check with people before I speak on their behalf or about them. Clearly a massive mistake on my part. Actually he has beaten me more times than I ever beat him. Which is why I don't understand why he would not play me. But that is not the point I'm making here. I hope you accept my apology.

It won't happen again.

Pleased you finally found the bit where yer man Rusty with the big mouth about his chess rating… turned down my challenge.

Hopefully that’s the end of this pathetic saga.

Yep, you missed reading everything.

You are correct. I screwed that one up badly. I'd like to move on from it now.
You can play me? A game playing white and a game playing black. You can start them anytime. As I said I put you on my buddy list so we could play.

Goodbye then.

@Gooster,

So You are obviously afraid he may beat you?....LOL....I find this quite amusing. I can beat you anytime, and most here know it, I have nothing to prove to you. I will say again if you were a friend I may play you for nothing, that is not the case, and we ALL know the feeling is mutual.
