You're a bit boastful , chap....
If you can't tell most of what I posted was tongue-in-cheek then...
And, on the contrary-I admitted to having played poorly and being intimidated-does this sound boastful?
My dislike for you woadman is wide known-you are a cheap player, cheat, and post inflammatory rubbish on the forums. My last post was actually not a polemic against you.
btw, I have completed my analysis of your games...very interesting finds. You consistently have a matchup rate higher than pre-computer CC GMs. I guess you aren't a master but a super GM! 🙄

6th Correspondence Chess World Cup Final 1968-1971
{ Top 4 Players-Rittner, Zagorovsky, Estrin, and Thiele}
{ Top 1 Match: 907/1565 ( 58.0% )

{ Top 3 Match: 1298/1565 ( 82.9% )
{ Top 4 Match: 1365/1565 ( 87.2% )
Now, lets look at @woadman

{ Top 1 Match: 732/1121 (65.3% )

Again, the first set of statistics is pre-computer era (so no charge of cheating)
woadman on the other hand.....the statistics speak for themselves.

Originally posted by King TigerMay I ask what the outcome of your game against GM Alex Yermolinsky was please, I wonder if Grand Masters have an air of authority.
On RHP, no...there aren't that many higher rated than me 😉
And most of those who are 'higher' rated on RHP I don't play again because their OTB rate isn't higher than mine, it is just their assistance that is higher rated than me.
I have played GM Alex Yermolinsky OTB. I'll admit I was a little intimidated and my play probably reflected this.
...[text shortened]... wo German Shepherds (you can imagine how that played out). He had a @BiggDogProblem obviously 😉
Hope you don't mind me asking.

Here is the game in case you were curious. Played this back in May of 2011.

Last time I played a very strong player OTB (untitled because he's young but in the top 20 in England at the time) I found myself thinking for much longer than I usually do and ended up with a throbbing headache after just 15 moves. The trouble is that my theoretical opening knowledge is very poor for a player of my playing strength so I couldn't just play "natural" moves and get to a middlegame where were chances for both sides, or play a slightly unsound but obscure opening in the hope that I knew it better than him.

Originally posted by King TigerI am always interested in other peoples games especially at this level, my issue is when I ask myself, why did he move that piece there?
I lost.

Move 19. ... Ne2 - why is it better for you if his queen is on e2 and not d4? You gave check on d4 a few moves later, is it to allow this and thereby keep a pawn in touch with his h pawns?
It looked like you were in the game for most of it, which is far more than I could manage.

Originally posted by Paul Leggettthere is evidence that Kasparov used to rig his simultaneous exhibition games with players no higher rated than 2200 😲
I have a winning record against GM Daniel Ludwig, and an even record against GM Ray Robson in OTB chess.
Of course, they were kids when I played them...
I also never lost to Kasparov during his entire active career. The bum kept avoiding me by playing only in high-rated events.
