No, but I've just cracked 1600 for the first time.

Sure, that may be off topic, but I'm still happy about it. 😀

Could you add Valery Salov to that list? Former world No 3.

Mr. Smaug will be soon passing 1600 if he keeps watching My Name Is Earl. For every 10 min. you watch it a million brain cells die and you lose rating points.

That's one way to reduce your game load...


****Everybody look - let it be known that Sicilian Smaug currently has a lower rating than me, obviously making me the superior player****

John Littlewoood plays for a couple of chess clubs in my area (Liverpool and Skelmersdale) and my old team, the North West Eagles in the Four Nations Chess League.

I saw him recently when we were both competing in the EU Individual Championship in Liverpool.

Despite being in his mid 70's and recovered from two heartattacks, he's still a very active player.

Here's his ECF grading card: http://grading.bcfservices.org.uk/getref.php?ref=114485G

Raymond Weinstein went crazy and murdered someone in the early '70s. He still lives in an insane asylum to this day.
