You are just being cruel now, and trying to embarrass dive. There are children who play better than you and I. I know because I've played them in tournaments and lost.
Some children are very gifted! Some adults can be very rude, even though their rating isn't nothing to write home about!!!

His 843 rating has spoken for itself.
What are you missing?
Maybe Dive doesn't know how the pieces move?
He should seek some chess help perhaps?

I don't believe I am missing anything here.
You are attacking Dives playing skills when yours aren't that great!
It is quite obvious to me that Dive knows how to move all the pieces.
The same could be said about you and I chaney we could also seek some chess help, we chose not to as Dive does. He would sooner play the game like you and I do, we are not that good either. Look at our rating!!!
Last moved 2 days 2 hours and 29 minutes ago is when you made your last move on this site. looks like you are just here to stir the pot.

We can agree to disagree on this!
He has won games so he obviously knows how to move the pieces.
We don't know what he might have on his plate in the real world, sometimes we tend to forget about that part, I know I do at times!

I've never seen it.
I'm not a fan of romance as a topic for being entertained so I supposed I've deselected watching movies with that theme.
Casablanca, on the other hand, is a masterpiece.

Romance...
None
So I nominate:
Lost In Translation
Before Sunset
Groundhog Day
Love Actually
As Good as It Gets
And pick: Before Sunset

Bit of a stretch to call Groundhog Day a romantic film.
As Good As It Gets could have gotten a lot better if they'd ended up as friends, NOT lovers. I hate the ending of that one.

The post that was quoted here has been removedDon't know why you are trying to sabotage your own thread.
I've played Dive once, and despite the difference in our ratings, he played a very good game and as I recall caused me a few problems.
Not too much credence should be put in ratings. I suspect you will learn your lesson the hard way.

Dive doesn't know how to move the pieces.

843 says the player does NOT know how the pieces move.
Dive is more than incompetent at chess. He doesn't know how the pieces move.
Sad for him, really.

And I've already told you, i've played Dive and he was a decent player. Why would I say that about someone who doesn't know how the pieces move.
Think about it Sherlock.

You are Dive's pal.
But Ghost, he doesn't know how the pieces move. If he did, he wouldn't have a disgraceful rating.
Stop defending him.
