I do not play on ICC.  and I am not able to play fast chess due to my dementia of over 5 years duration. 

My challenge was to play here, in front of all and a slow, serious game where you have all the time in the world to play a good game against me.

Come on Reb, accept the challenge!

I agree. I want to watch that game!

Come on Reb. I am 75 years old and diagnosed with dementia more than 5 years ago.  Surely you can beat me in a line that you touted was good enough to beat Nakamura!!!

Why? Sounds like about as much fun as watching a steam drill kill John Henry.

Reb. for all your talk and all your disparagement, it turns out when I challenge you to a game, here on chess.com for all to see--you chicken out.

I told you I will gladly play you on ICC ponz , take it or leave it . I am NOT interested in using computers and if you were half as good as you think you are you wouldnt  want to use comps either . I dont like live chess here because of no time stamp client , which ICC has .

Ponz: I have defeated the computer-hard manyyy times on those lines. It uses the queen for recapture and after the bishop pin, it all goes pweeeeeeeeeeeeen ...

Is Ponz offering to play a non-computer chess game???  I don't believe it.

Yes, I am. I do not care if you do not believe it. 99.8% of all chess games I have ever played were non computer.

So, a live standard game played on chess.com?  No resources... books, preprinted analysis?  You probably have not done that in more than 30 years.

Reb talked you out of retirement?

All the games I am giving here were without books or resources or computers.

Yes, I have not been playing live chess for about 3 months. There was a reason I stopped playing about 3 months ago. 

Exception, I am playing in one vote chess game now.

I have not been on chess.com for 30 years.

You really do not know what you are talking about.

kantifields  You are lying.  You do not know what I have done or not done.

I repeat, all the games I am showing here were done in 15 minute per side games and without chess books or computers or databases or analysis boards.
