hello all players!
I would like to discuss about tournaments na!
why no tournaments 1200-1900 or others rating like 1200-1800...
all the players who have more 1950 are just to play for training and not exchange on the game!
The site don't say nothing and I would like to exchange about that.
I hope to have answer.
Thanks.
JM
If you were 1200 would you like to play 1800s? That's a great way to get to 800 real fast.

Or are you an 1800 just looking for easy meat?

RHB Administrators: You're on notice.

One or more of you have been removing my account(s). The only reason I made more than one in the first place is because you took down my content on the first and only post I ever made, and then revoked my forum rights for YEARS arbitrarily. But now you're trying to throw your weight around, so I am officially your problem.

You ...[text shortened]... rs. You know, after I get bored making guest appearances on here myself.

Kindly go f* yourselves.

Sounds like Mudfinger, Old Indian or whatever he's calling himself today, has very little imagination and even less to do with his time.

Imagine the process: "I know, I know...let me threaten and harass a chess-site for hours on end. That'll relieve mom to know I'm no longer watching porn."

That's not how Elő ratings work. The returns are self-limiting, both up and down. The lower you get, the less you lose against much better players. The higher you get, the less you win against much lower players. If a 1200 player wants to get to 800 fast, he'd have to play first 1000 players and then other 800 players. He might be able to get there playing 1800s - I'd have to do the 'rithmetic to make sure it was even possible - but at any rate, it would take a good long time dropping single point after single point.

Doesn't make the original suggestion any less unfeasible, of course; just not for that reason.
