    I can only advise everyone to be careful with communication. A new player who has just opened 150 new games in a short period of time asked me what my financial situation was. She wants to sell me Bitcoin. So a new business model - behind the chess game there is a sales pitch. Please be vigilant.

    Please send feedback with further details so we can investigate. Almost certainly a scammer who needs to be kicked off the site.

    I'm Courtney Abrams from Brooklyn NY it's a pleasure to connect with you
    That's good to know I'm a portfolio manager and a crypto analyst guess you might've heard about cryptocurrency or bitcoin.
    Have you tried to invest or trade in cryptocurrency or bitcoin:

    My answer: Great, a new business model? Gain trust and then sell Bitcoins? Not with me.

    I had a similar contact from a character called Emily Williams 2 last November.
    Out of the blue she said "can I send you a game"?
    Then I started getting pm's which concluded in "I'm a crypto analyst."
    I said I think bitcoin should be outlawed,
    No game,no further contact

    Yes, I'm a big Moody fan. My favorite song is: The Story in Your Eyes.
    Every Good Boy Deserves Favour, 1971. The album reached No. 1 on the British album chart, in addition to a three-week stay at No. 2 in the United States, and produced one top-40 single, "The Story in Your Eyes".

    After I texted "courtneybbb" that I wasn't interested, she immediately ended the game. So she doesn't want to play anymore because she can't get anything from me anymore. That's ok, but she still has 150 more games open.

    I think I'd struggle to pick my favourite track.
    The album i have listened to most is probably "To our Childrens".....
    This is the wrong forum for this discussion but it's been nice talking to you.

    'Dorothy Theodore' is a crypto analyst who will try and get you interested in buying Bitcoin. Proceed with caution.
