cheaters
Hey Snowblunder: I do not like cheaters either, I believe there are some who use chess machines and that is outright cheating. I do not care if someone looks stuff up cause that's what one does in a postal type chess situation. As for the nasty comments, most people are just LOL typers and do not re...

ratings? who really cares?!!
I finally came to the realization after 1500 games played on this site that ratings don't mean much: if you check some of the players who have 2600 and above ratings their USCF rating is usually class B or lower class A; which is where I am at only my rating here is around 2200 most of the time. The...

don't care?
the original idea was to rail on the idiots who use chess engines to find their answers....they have low ratings on OTB and or they don't play OTB tournaments but their ratings on this wonderful site are extremely high because they cheat....that's the point!!!!! and I am still almost 60% against the...

Let me see...which generation always says, "I don't care"...uhmmm? The use of computers is like telling everyone you shot an even round 70 on a particularly difficult golf course.

I have been wondering when I check out the profiles of the top players...the ones with a 3000 rating and only 1-2 loses; why don't there games show up on rating history?
