best player

True....I saw the last false timeout hit about a week or two.  Also worth noting is that the speed of the games that Greg is playing has picked up greatly as he is making more moves and playing fewer games now than he was a month back.

Trying to say who is the best player here is akin to saying best movie.  It comes down to how you want to judge it.  But make no mistake, there are some incredible players here.

It seems none of the GMs on chess.com actually play. However, I would bet one of them is the best player on chess.com.  FIDE  ratings are more reliable than net ratings.

Very likely Dr Alfonso Grabokowicz...........originator of the "Grabokowicz

Center Grab" position!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Topic Forum is named:"Best Player".

So,it is not about a blitz, or highest rating now player, at all!

It is about Tournaments mainly! 

Play serious Tournament Games, fight, create Art, and grow up!

 If you cannot fight and win dozens and dozens of the Tournaments, play ink games around a real Chess, as most did!

 Thank you, Ray_Brooks! You are one of the real players, who did not afraid to put all his time and efforts into the 64 board of life...

If anybody think that he is a best player, just prove it in the hard time game board! Orthewise, diskuss a Stats!

 But the way, I have to finish more than 100 Tournaments, yet>>>...

 See you later!

 Greg.

Too bad there's not a stat for "tournaments delayed". You'd be leading that too!

Actually the same bug that shows Greg with two false timeouts also has lowered his time/move ratio. His move rate is actually quite long.


I'll take your word for that and withdraw the post (he's always played quickly against me).

Awardchess, are you saying I don't play chess on this site? Most of my games have not been tournament games, so quoting my tournament states is not meaningful. I typically have between 10-20 games because this is how many I can play comfortably. Even then I sometimes have to put games off longer than I would like because I don't have the time to focus on them the way I need to. I feel a little bad when I do this to someone -- clearly you don't.

 Ah yes, now I remember.

"I'm the best" and "Who care?" are the two main topics in the bestselling "How to Avoid Friends and Alienate People".
