To all: I don't think that we should assume that just because someone said something we consider to be rude, that person is necessarily cheating by using a program. Let's give people the benefit of the doubt here.

Im sorry to say this but, Red Hot Pawn is a joke.... The best internet chess without a doubt is ICC. ICC has about 80 GM's and hundreds of IM's and FM's and NM's which you can also recieve lessons from. I just started playing here for fun, and there is absolutly no one of master level....

Originally posted by legionnaireyes, its impressive. That doesnt however mean that much. A close friend of mine beat Mikhail Tal in a simu 🙂 , and although kasparov is a genius in chess, a simul reduces his playing level enourmasly. Don't get me wrong, its still impressive.
It was in a simul. While Kasparov was current world champion, I believe. Here's the thread with the game in it: http://www.redhotpawn.com/board/showthread.php?id=3438.
I still think beating the world champion, even in a simul match is fairly impressive, don't you?

Originally posted by legionnaireRight. In particular, you work on calculation here. In a very very slow 45/30 on ICC I can, on average, calculate at most two candidate moves to a quiet board. Here you can calculate to your heart's content. It is very good training.

Why are you complaining about no GM's being here when your rating is 1900 USCF? Tebb's real rating is around 2300 FIDE, being that he got offered the title. He should be a good enough challenge, playing a GM doesn't matter if players lower than that have a good chance of beating you. 1900 is pretty good for a 16 year old though.

Originally posted by crazycohenWhat the heck is this then? Sure seems like a complaint to me. If you haven't noticed I have been reading any replying to this thread numerous times. Seems to me you're not reading close enough.
