I finished a whole bunch of games in the last 24 hours; 2 KG games, a Ruy Lopez (it's true...), and a dragon that has been going on for months and is just a complete mess. I might even annotate them soon. 🙂

Game 2968858
Game 2956367

Whirlpool sent me a challenge for this game telling me that he wouldn't mind losing to the KG, and I was only too happy to help him out. 🙂 Yeah, I did make at least one HUGE blunder with Rf1??, and I think I had the win a lot sooner, but he didn't catch the error and I got a fun win with the move h5+! 🙂

Game 2929024

One of my earliest games with the Dragon - it's not a Yugoslav Attack, but it is a mess, plenty of errors, but still fun. 🙂

Game 2233155

I asked him in game why he didn't take en passant - he told me he didn't think of it until afterwards. 😕

But he had much more serious problems later on in that game.

I asked you for a game yesterday and you said that my rating was too low. Two of the games you posted were against opponents rated lower than myself. Let's play one?

Sigh...ok, let's do an Immortal Game history lesson.

I think I have had more public challenges on the Only Chess forum than any other single person - don't ask me why, maybe people think I'm overrated. To every single challenge I've made it abundantly clear that I will accept if three criteria are met.

1.You're good enough - I'm the only one that decides this, and basically, if my rating doesn't move up at least 15 points from a win against you, then you aren't good enough.

2.I have enough time - My game limit is generally between 20-25, as you can see with the KG Muzio Tourney and the 2007 Championship I currently have over 30 games - definitely too many, so I'm really not accepting challenges from anybody, unless you're over 2300 and I really want to play you for some reason. 😕

3.I feel like playing you, and I think I'm reasonable, I DO accept challenges, and sometimes I even make exceptions. I've taken some from players like Kmac27 and Whirlpool - I also took a couple from Yugoslav even though he didn't meet number 2, so I gave him some unrated games which he played very well in and got the best of me.


Take note dmn, that only one of those games was a personal challenge like the one you're asking for. Also note that Whirlpool has a much higher rating than you, and when he asked for the challenge I had a whopping 10 in progress games, and he asked for it to be a KG - basically my rules, how could I say no?

So, if you really want to play me, you should get practicing, get your rating up much higher, and make me an offer I can't refuse - i.e. a KG game.

No, not a deal. I currently consider that rating too low. When you have nearly the same rating as myself I'll start considering it.

EDIT: I don't think I've ever asked anybody this before, and I really should have, why are you so desperate to play me?

I can't speak for everyone else, but I want to play him so badly because I think he's arrogant.

Hell, DM, if you can beat Yug0slav I'll give you an unrated match under the condition that I control all of the stipulations. Basically I get to pretend I'm Bobby Fischer. 🙂

Arrogant? I guess that opinion is probably formed from my profile?

In any case, I don't think I'm arrogant.
