I didn't say either of us cheated; I answered your question.
BTW, isn't your OTB rating hundreds of points below your RHP one, too?
Originally posted by duecerYou might be surprised; my nephew who had a similar rating to yours here and OTB got killed when he moved up to the U1600 at the NY State Open. He dropped from 1276 to 1152.

Originally posted by no1maraudermy last game in stamford was against someone unrated who finished first and a provisional 1642. If I had managd to beat him, I would have taken first, and ended up around 1275. I played the sicillian....badly

The Eastern Class Championships are a possibility for me if I decide not to play at the Foxwoods Open. Maybe I'll buy you a beer.
