Johnab
Well,you were the one throwing crap at everyone!
Btw, you should really look over your spelling. Let me guess, you are from Barnsley?
You have the right to your opinion but you are critizising other players with out any ground at all.
Your point was heared, yet it was a very stupid point.
Ah, of course. I mean shouldn't! Sorry about that Rayrook!
Johnab has gone very silent..
I think he is more annoyed with losing to me, I signed up for this tourney long before I knew my "true" rating.
I think you mean Rayrook shouldn't apologise. We all joined when we had lower than 1500. To be fair, this tournament started ages ago so a lot of people will have improved. Also, the people who proceed in the tournament are obviously going to have a higher rating because it means they have won games. Those who have been eliminated will have lower ratings. That's how the rating system works!?
Rayrook, you should apologize. It's the rather incompetent johnab who should apologize...
Everyone who is registered had a ranking below 1500, enough said.
first of all i would like to say sorry to my other tournament opponents under 1500, but I didn't do this on purpose. When i registered for this tournament my highest rating was only 1489(you can check my profile). That was in January, now it's December and my chess skills have improved. I would withdraw, but I would lose all of my games that I am half way through.
I apologize for this.
My rating when I entered this tournament was 1343. Just because you don't improve...
i want to wish all those over 1500s -------- and i really mean those way above 1500 all the very best in a competition for under 1500s ----- it has really given us the opportunity to fairly compete in an under 1500 competition ----------------------------------------------- under 1500s my ass john
how can a 1300 person compete against a 2100 person impossible it shud be like golf where u get a handicap so they start with a queen missing say then it might be fair john
well iv spent 6 months looking forward to round 2 and wot happens we get people way above the under 1500s quality and guess wot we wont get past round 2 xx and why cos i should have joined a competition where they started at say underr 1100s so when i got in round 2 i would be way above evrybody else - think my tournament days are over john
so where are we now with this competition - will it get to round 2 by christams and i wonder which christmas - john
my opponent is still moving slow :( oh well
iv never been in round 2 of anything wot happens now - maybe our tournament manager who didnt make it might help john
hopefully things will move more quickly now as only the serious players remain
congrat to those thats moved forward comiserations to those that havent think its bye to acsmith john
hi gooey well thanks for that - im not that bothered to be honest - icame on here for a game of chess so thats wot iv had and i still enjoy it - and as an added bonus acsmith has i think made me the champion by default of this league - the first thing iv won since joining so im quite happy - and as for all these comments they nay have hlped him decide that its not for him or someone thought it wasnt - i wud have liked feedback from the organisers cos i think this is a great site so maybe they will till the next time best of chess luck john
Actually John, his account has been closed. It is not clear whether this is his decision or whether chess.com have removed him but good riddance either way.
