Are those numbers high enough to earn a ban?
OTB. This will give me practice since I have joined a Chess Club about
75 miles away. I want be able to consult opening books or be able to
move the pieces around on another board to analyze the position. I
may even time my thinking time on each game and make sure I do
not think longer than I would be given for the first 40 moves, etc.
than I would have in an OTB tournament game. This should bring
my rating down quickly and I will make many people happy at the
same time. I would not get anything from having a high rating here
anyway. The challenge is just trying to find the best possible move
in the same way as solving a chess puzzle. I just want be doing that
here anymore. That should also satisfy those who thing I have been
using a chess engine during my games, because I know I can not keep
making best moves by limiting myself that way. I don't thing I am
going to have as much time to spend on these games anyway for I
have some work I must start doing next week.

if I wish to make you guys happy or not. Believe it or not, I am a
good guy and I like to make people happy, if it will get them to believe
in Christ for that will make Him happy and that is my main goal. I do
not need high chess ratings to make me happy. It does not really mean
a hill of beans. My number 2 son told me to go play on Chess.com under
a made-up name like Dasa or WarCloud.

I accept that I could be completely wrong of course, and if I am, then I apologise sincerely and please carry on.

Even correspondence chess world champions, pre-computers, didn't get the matchups you did.

As for going over to chess.com, they actually ban engine users over there using the engine matchup system that was created here. For some reason Russ (site owner) isn't too keen on banning blatant engine users at the moment.

Originally posted by Proper KnobGreat idea knob. I haven't played a game of chess against a computer since 1979. Can't remember if I won or lost.

I'm very curious. In the mean time, could you explain to me what a chess "engine" is?
