I made it clear that I ACCEPT a game vs. FatLady . I also tried to challenge SirDubalot, with no luck...I was blocked out. NO PROB ! Once I get 5 rated games, I'll be free to go directly to the top !!.

He is also going through Scottparks like a knife through butter.

Yes, he'll be playing those GMs in no time! At such a frantic pace.... 😛
He said he was playing a lot of games on another site which is why he is keeping his game count to 4 active for now.
Based on what I already saw from the few slightly higher rating games, I would say, wait a few before you knock him. Of course, he might just be another engine with a human voice, yet to be determined. Can you get a decent analysis on just a couple of games? Percent chance it is an engine?

I agree that woadman looks at first sight to be a genuinely strong non-engine using player. I doubt if he has a USCF rating above 2300+ though, as someone that strong wouldn't bother coming to a site like this to beg for strong players to give him a game - he'd have an account on ICS or playchess.com or be playing proper correspondence chess if that was his thing.

Originally posted by Data FlyHe said his USCF was in the 2200 area. He said it was ICCF above 2300. He said he has played corr. for years, maybe decades.

Originally posted by Data FlyIf he's really that good, why is he deleting challenges from a 'mere' 2100 player?

And why the insistence that there can be only one game in which he MUST play white?
When he first came on this site, one of his sticking points was 'people take too long to move when they're losing!' and demanding a fast pace of play. Now, one good player challenges him and all we get is "I can barely maintain 4 games at once!"
Whatever happened to the would-be world beater, ready to torch tons of titled players? 😕

Originally posted by BigDoggProblemIt sounds odd for sure, especially for one claiming a master level in ICCF which you know takes months for games. Something is not striking right here.

A player of that strength is not going to come on here
full of gibber jabber.
It is amusing though.
