Do numbers lie?

The Vedas gave mankind numbers and God gave mankind intelligence.

The chess you play is from the Vedas.

Science began with the Vedas......the science of living. (the true and only science)

I have no problem. YOU have the problem the world misunderstands your genius. I'm sure you have seen the numbers. Do you care to explain them, or avoid them? They don't look good, or perhaps they look TOO good, whichever way you would like to see it.

If it seems like I am picking on you, you will have to understand where I am coming from. I think the way ...[text shortened]... people liars without cause is ridiculous, especially when you are not being truthful yourself.

You say that I "parade around the forums spreading ... ignorant drivel
and calling people liars without cause". I spread intelligent drivel and
when I call people liars it is not without a cause. In my opinion it is you
that are guilty of what you have charged me.

As for numbers, I do not know what the numbers stand for or if they are
true numbers or how they were obtainied. So your guess is as good as
mine as how to explain them. Like Huckleberry Finn, I don't take much
stock in them.

With Love,
Ron

How come you have significantly higher engine matchup rates than the current world number 1, and for that matter every world champion there has ever been? What would you put that down to Ron?

You could be making this all up for all I know.

P.S. The only reason to use a computer engine would be to win.
I would play the very best move in that case. That should mean
100% mactchups, shouldn't it?

I have lost 12 games and drawn 30. How did that happen?

Better computers/centaurs than you/yours.

I could've made it up, but i haven't. You have higher engine match-up rates than any chess world champion.

You need a stonger engine.

Nope, too dumb for that. (idiot smug face deleted)

I'm not even going to try to explain irony to you!

edit - I'd always assumed the mismatch between intellect and chess ability evinced by Mr Hinds was indicative of an idiot savant. Sounds like the savant bit might be wrong...

No, the engine you use, is clearly not the best chess player in the world. As you point out, it doesn't win every time. Many positions in chess have several good moves available (otherwise all matches between experts would be identical). If you have 100% matchup with any other player whether computer or human for more than a game or too, it is absolutely certain that one is copying from the other.

I don't remember Huckleberry Finn playing chess. What chapter and
page number was that?

Well, I do have to admit, I do sometimes copy from master games, but
that usually only goes so far.

When you say "admit", you mean you have been hiding something, or that you are admitting your guilt?
