I doubt it; you've never played in an USCF rated OTB tourney though you did lie and claim you had a 1880 OTB rating that for some strange reason doesn't show up on the USCF rating lists.
I have even won some.
I haven't played in years.
Originally posted by Very RustyAgainst most high 1400's/ low 1500's you would be the favorite.
I had a cfc rating of 1669 back in the 90's, and was still climbing at the time. I also beat a 2000 player, and was most improved player that year. So don't tell me I wouldn't be competition for an USCF player rated only 1500 !!! The 1500 player would indeed be the underdog 😀 😛
My rating here is the result of game load and SANDBAGGERS !!! It is just ...[text shortened]... y decade or so lay off, and I think I am pretty much back at the playing strenght I was then.
but, not against defrauder.
He has magic beans.
Originally posted by Red NightBut you admitted you don't have a rating on the USCF website. The USCF website has all USCF rated tournaments and players since 1991.

Who's lying; you or the USCF?
EDIT: Remember:
nmdavidb: It is a known fact that if you are inactive for over a year USCF drops you...the records are not shown.
RN: I'm aware. After I looked for you. I looked for myself and several of my friends. All of who have been inactive for several years. None of us showed up either.
no1: That is not true; the USCF page has any player who has played in a tournament since 1991. One need only did the research I suggested to find several players who have been inactive for more than 10 years.
EDIT: A friend of mine, Marc Daniels, hasn't played in a tourney since 1995. Do a search for him and you'll find him (1803 rating; not bad - we used to play for drinks at our local bar).

Originally posted by no1marauderNo more ridiculous than you saying I was no more than a 1300 player, not knowing a thing about me...You are a hothead, you will never change !!!
Someone with a mid 1600's rating who hasn't played in an OTB tourney since the 90's, shouldn't be so quick to denigrate a rating only a bit lower than his. Players currently rated around 1500 beat those currently rated in the 1600's all the time.
It's ridiculous for someone who has a 1600+ rating to spout off that someone with a 1500 ratin iant on a lot of factors besides general chess knowledge (my bugaboo is time management).

If you had a 1669 rating, that's a good one. But you still have some overly simplistic ideas about chess knowledge and its relation to OTB ratings.
Originally posted by no1marauderSo now you are calling me a liar? If it came down between the two of us I know I would be the more honest person , no contest there !!!

Originally posted by Very RustyI didn't call you anything but it's easy to claim things on the internet. Now you're claiming you are more honest than someone you know nothing about because you're upset. That's rather childish, don't ya think?

Originally posted by no1marauderYou have already been caught trying to back paddle from things you have said on here...All one has to do is read your posts, and see how you make a liar out of yourself, no one else does it to you !!

IF I had a 1669 rating is certainly calling me a liar !!!
Originally posted by Red NightAnd all players, even if inactive, who played before 1991 have a rating on the USCF website. You stated you could not find your rating, period. And the 1980s were "several years" ago?
They did play chess tournaments before 1991.
Here is a math quiz for you: 2126 - 1483 = ?
RN: looked for myself and several of my friends. All of who have been inactive for several years. None of us showed up either.
You have neither my correct RHP or OTB rating. Again your difference is a lot larger than mine and you have falsely claimed to have a high OTB rating. That's pretty suspicious, ain't it?
