ratings are irrelevant, if your 1300 i will beat you, if your 2000 ill try to beat you. as long as it doesnt look like youll cheat ill take you on.

Dude no!
That would require me to try.
I just want a FEW interesting games.
To go with my 100 'other' games.
I'm sure the "I can so beat you" argument works against 14 year olds, but it won't work against me. No 1550 no game. In fact I think 1550 is quite lenient.

Originally posted by cmsMasterwell that is true, unless your building it up from 1200. i made the mistake of not trying to tackle any 1500s when i was provisional. so now its baby steps up t owhere i should be.
That's my point, they have no answer for that. I don't need to hear excuses, your rating is what it is.
