I looked at both games and they looked okay nothing spectacular . . .
I think both games were fair . . . The reason to be given the win was like a punishment for cheating in other games . . . On other note . . .
Monday November 1, 2021 . . .
I resigned a game because It's taking too long.
So i lost 7 rating points in the Geezer 2021 tournament . . .
I only have one game left in the bracket . . .
Now at 1414 again . . .
1414 is nothing, my highest was 1875.
Don't be so critical . . . 1875 was back in 2010 . . .
Your current daily rating is only 1458 . . . That's the one that counts . . .
I'm happy I have a current rating that means I'm still alive @ 83 . . .
Come to my bowling party in December I'll be 84 . . .
Monday December 13, 2021 . . .
It must be an early birthday present since my birthday is the 14th. I'll be 84 tomorrow . . .
I won on time, went up 6 pts. To 1420 . . .
I knew if i played his side he would have won . . .
Bye for now . . .
THURSDAY 16, 2021 . . .
Won a game because my opponent closed his account before he made his first move so my ratings didn't change . . .
It wasn't my move . . .
Sunday December 19 . . .
Won by resignation, rating up 15 to 1435 . . .
It’s almost Christmas day, have to get crabs for dinner . . . Finish my 🎁 present buying . . .
THURSDAY 23, 2021 . . .
Vacationing player came back and resigned game . . . So i went up seven to 1442 . . .
Great Christmas present that he came back . . .
FRIDAY December 24, 2021 . . .
I drew a game on purpose . . .
My Queen vs his two Rooks . . .
Raised my Rating +5 to 1447 . . .
Merry Christmas . . . Rich
Wednesday JANUARY 5, 2022 . . .
Won a game to my surprise. Raised rating to 1454 . . .
I had a mate in one but his knight checked me. I still had a move in one. . .
He checked me with a bishop. I moved the king i still had a mate in one . . .
His bishop could take my mating rook on G1 . . .
He moved his H rook, placed it on G 8 to save it . . .
I moved my G rook to G5 ++ Check mate . . .
Belated birthday wishes Rich. Have a wonderful 2022!
It was my 65th birthday on 16th January.
Wednesday June 1, 2022 . . .

Soon i will lose 22 rating points in one game . . .
I recommend "1001 chess exercises for beginners" to improve ones game. Authors are Masetti and Messa. Book from New In Chess. Very instructive.
What happens 4th July?
Might result in Geezers winning the match! Cheaters should never prosper!
