Why do you come to RHP?

I'm useless at chess. I'm happy just to push pieces around the board and natter to the likes of Kewpie, drewnogal, Teinosuke, vivify, etc.

I've played both in the past. (I believe).

Chess is a beautiful game and I like to separate it from any personal disagreements or angst. If I had lost those games (I didn't) I would have been okay with that, as long as I was outplayed.

Does this anecdote encapsulate your reason not to play Ghost of a Duke?

What is your "compelling reason" for not playing Ghost of a Duke? His conciliatory offer of a game seemed pretty admirable to me.

My sincere apologies for not being up to your standards.

But, in a partial effort to explain your reason for refusing Ghost of a Duke's offer a game, you chose to relate an anecdote about someone called Cathy Forbes claiming she was sexually harassed by someone called John Henderson, right?

So, your reason is secret but a story about a woman alleging she was sexually harassed helps you explain your arritude to Ghost of a Duke. Am I understanding this correctly?

So a story about malicious accusations surrounding alleged sexual harassment is what best explains your reason for not playing Ghost of a Duke at chess, am I understanding you correctly?

I think the reason you do absolutely nothing on this website except post autistic-style poison into forums which you have condemned as “perpetuating hate” is of great interested.

Your refusal to play Ghost of a Duke, who is clearly a pretty strong consistent player, is interesting especially given all your flouncy posturing a few days ago, about how amazing you were at chess and how awful this website was at accommodating good players like yourself.

I suspect you’re not very intelligent, easily provoked to making trigger moves, in life and in chess, and you are too scared to play Ghost of a Duke.
