I'll bet I know what the plan is.... stop using engines to do your thinking for you.

Pretend all you want, and make all the excuses you want. I long story here or there isn't going to convince people you weren't cheating. You act like a martyr or something claiming people are accusing you because you are Christian. Get a life man.

That wouldn't work. His rating would drop like a stone. He probably has some plan to use a different engine for each move or something like that. The fact that he thinks he can change the match up rates is as good as admitting to cheating.

My plan is to play all my games as if I were playing OTB. I will use no
additional aids at all while I am playing the games. I will not move the
pieces around on another board or consult any master games or opening
books, etc. I will also limit my thinking time to 2.5 hours for 40 moves.
Does that sound fair enough? Of course, I do not plan on using any
chess engine, weak or strong. Okay? I am not worried about my RHP
rating dropping like a rock. I am going to be using these games to
practice for OTB play, because I plan on returning to USCF chess rated
play. 😏

How will you be able to say I am cheating when I start losing and my rating
drops like a rock? My rating might even drop below yours and then you can
brag how much better you are than I. Then you will have justification for
believing in evolution and not believing in the Holy Bible. Because surely
you are smarter than I. I'm just going to give you what you want. Doesn't
that sound great! HalleluYah !!! The Lord works in mysterious ways.
Happy days are here again. 😏

Absolutely extraordinary. I've never seen anything quite like this here in my 6 or so years.

I think the word is 'disgrace' rather than 'miracle'.

So why do you think those measures will result in a lower matchup rate with engines?

Well, I hope they will. I will be putting limits on myself, so we shall see.
If not then I will make sure I put some blunders in there. 😏

Again, you fail to understand that humans don't play like machines, it doesn't matter if you move the pieces around or not. Correspondence chess world champions, who can move the pieces around, didn't get the matchups that you achieved.

I don't get it.

Why is your rating now about to "drop like a rock"?

Brother Ron, oft times I have to remember 2 Cor. 8:21, Rom. 12:17.

Why exactly do yo think those two pieces of scripture are relevant to this debate?

It would be obvious to the witnessing Christian, I think.

That might be true, but seeing as how i'm not a witnessing Christian maybe you could elucidate a little further for me.
