I'll bet even Ravello can beat him.
Plus I don't see anything special which can make me believe he's a 1900 OTB,out of 15 games his best is a win on timeout against a 1500 and a draw against a 1600,being well beaten by 1400s and 1200s : a pretty poor performance for a 1900 OTB player which seems to take all his time for his correspondence moves,don't you think?
If he's 1900 OTB then I'm BillGates son.

Originally posted by RavelloYes, they are not too bright. I could never advertise a higher rate than I can play...would make me feel like an idiot.
Finally we agree on something!
This site is full of people who write in their profile I'm rated #### OTB then you see that their correspondence play is 400/500 points below.........I wonder why.......

wouldn't one would expect the rating to be higher here than OTB? [with all the time for analysis etc?]
Apart from the higher rated players who probably need less analysis.

I have..what...about 10 games played here, and 100 games played OTB. and I still focus more on "real games" and consider these internet games to be just played for fun...
