Ah, that's a shame, I was looking forward to learning something from those matches. I ask in all innocence because I was just browsing another thread a moment ago and I noticed MPP castigating everyone on here as (amongst many other things) cowardly. I guess a taxonomist would file that away under the category "experiential observations".

Looking at MMP's real life ratings the games would be close, but he hasnt made much progess in chess for 6 years (about 60 points). I doubt he ever will, id probably win now and in a years time I imagine id just hammer him silly. The offer is always open should he ever want to try 🙂

It's all about style like other decent fellows have mentioned - try telling a certain Mr Karpov that 1... c5 is better than 1... c6 against 1. e4!! Me, myself I play 3. e5 against the French cos I like the resulting positions from it - it doesn't necessarily mean it's the strongest move, just love the flavour of the positions arising from it. Just enjoy your chess - there's more to life than squabbling over a move with that person.
Given that hes managed to ignore my playchess handle for a good few weeks now I guess not. 😛
