Hi, I am a rated Expert that uses this site to hone my over-the-board skills. I need to play many games, so unless you set your vacation flag, I will time you out. I accept no challenges slower than 1 day or with more than a 3 day time bank. I use no computer or even an analysis board. I sometimes use a "move selection outline" to improve my thinking. My rating is a bit inflated here since I most of my games were against opponents rated below 1700.
Tournament Entry Rating is calculated by the formula (CurrentRating + HighestRating) / 2. The entry rating will never drop to more than 100 points below your Highest Rating.
