thats the trouble with most chess players...you fear a high rating..I fear NO-ONE ! That's why I'm ready to take on ALL page one players on this site !
Maybe a woadman vs. the forum would be in place? The combined intelligence of the forum may approach that of an IM, no? I'd give him black, otherwise we don't stand a chance.
I'll give you a game, woadman. I'm not page 1 (I think my highest place was about 60) but beating me will give your rating a big boost and then some of the big boys might be interested in playing you. I haven't played on this site for years but I still play regular OTB games.
Game 1: Game 10924749 Game 2: Game 10924752
Drop me a challenge too Woadman. A couple of months ago I was a duffer on page 160-odd. Now I'm a rising pawnstar on p99. Dead easy, this game. It follows that by April I should be a GM, right?
Seriously-I'll play you.
Welcome to RHP. You can never leave....
Edit: I cannot believe you deleted Fat Lady's extremely kind offer!!!
Of course I wont accept any offer that includes time-outs or "vacations" . I stated that the first day here. I'm willing to play one or two more games now..but I'm following the Russian Superfinals quite closely right now..
to prove I'm serious I just accepted Larkie's challenge with NO time BANKS !!
You can stipulate 3/7 or whatever time controls you like but I really don't think you can prevent vacations. Judging by your tone it appears you don't much like the idea of players being perhaps forced into taking a few days off the board due to unforeseen circumstances? -these things happen sometimes, such is life.
Perhaps there are chess sites out there that don't have this facility, but this one has....so....

Edit: Both games deleted by woadman. What a worm.
I can smell the FEAR wafting through the room!
Another n00b whose mouth wrote checks that his arse couldn't cash. 😴
I only challenged woadman because the few games he'd played on this site were quite exciting. Oh well, if he really wants a taste of what it's like to play the top guys on RHP then he can always visit https://shop.chessbase.com/en/products/deep_fritz_14_english
on other websites..just when the games get interesting, my opponents disappears for 2 or 3 WEEKS !! They cant stand the pressure I guess. Most people agree with me 100%, so I now want to just play chess without all the DELAYS. !!
ok apparently there is some mis-understanding here. FATLADY I will be glad to accept to play one game ( as White, since you are rated higher) with no timeouts or banks or anything. I ACCEPT your challenge , but must stick to my higher standards of play !
