Originally posted by Ramnedits to many game for not a lot of reward for most people, i entered and played all the games last year but never had a chance of winning the group or even beating someone who might win the group. so this year i'm just going to play the games against people higher rated than me and resign the rest before playing them.
oh. I thought 2500 played at most, so I pictured 1000...

Originally posted by Quirinecommenting on engine use is fine - so long as it is known to be true ... it is the public speculation which is banned/bad ....
edit: forgot not to comment on engine use
for instance in your first round here - you were very lucky that Trains44 was banned for engine use just in time for you to make round 2 instead of being knocked out by silicon (see group 33).
good luck against gatecrasher - i hope the best wins!

Originally posted by adramforalli have no chance of winning my group so i might as well just concentrate on the games against players better than me, i'm not going to learn anything from playing the games against 0-1400 players. so its pretty much just a waste of time playing them, i already have a pile of games with 0-1400 players i don't really want any more.
Whats the point of that?

If they're that easy to beat then you may as well play out the games? You won't have to take as long on each move and it's nice to lay the smacketh down every once in a while. Is it a bit disrespectful to resign games purely because you think you'd beat them too easily??
