bocaelmasgrande -- "he with the biggest mouth" -- is a jerk. He obviously has an over-inflated idea of himself. I had a game with him which was an obvious draw and he refused to.

Hi Greg,
I'm getting the new interface; it just came up out of nowhere..
I like the Standard, but I just can't seem to get back to it.
Some of the boards come up flipped and I don't see how to reverse them.
What do I do to get the standard interface back. Thanks

My mistake --a 10-player match..
That means 18 games each.
It would appear that I have time to waste: I did the math --
77 forfeits out of 103 games played is a hair's breadth short of 75%
That means one would expect him to forfeit 13.5 of his 18 games
if he stays true to form.

forfeited 77 of them.

Playing Chess by burning-out your eyeballs looking at a computer screen is not the proper way.
Set up the position on a real chessboard, in order to study the position.
This allows for analysis and fewer mistakes.
