Who played the shortest games?

And a low rated player could quote the historian.  So, rating is irrelevant in this matter.

He'd then have to be referring to the opinion of others with chess expertise and not pretending to any such insights on his own. Ergo, not making the comparison himself.

But of course! 

Not irrelevant in the example in question here, as jetfighter13 seemed to be assuming the expertise to make the comparisons he posited.

no, I was stating a matter of personal belief

Scant difference, if any.

 But, you must ask yourself, "Why would I state this particular personal belief in a conversation populated by folks with vastly more knowledge about the subject being discussed?"

I like to argue here as much as the next guy, but I steer clear of chess.

yes bp stay away from chess just stick with the baseball

I chose to argue the point because I feel that that many games couldnt be composed, i mean a 50 some odd mover where all the moves look good, is hard to believe it was composed, the Mate in 8 with the queens sac, maybe, but the others dont look like they were composed, partialy because I would play some of those moves

This makes no sense.

that was a protest, fischer also lost a game as white where he didnt make a move at all

 A move that looks good to you or me isn't sayin' much.

well, I doubt they would care about games that were fabricated

Might as well lay a decapitated chicken by the board and light a candle.

 You really miss Reb, don't ya'?

He's in a better place now (bows head).

 well thats different, Back when greco was around, it was pretty much garunteed that he was the best. 

now about that five queen Game...

 Alabama?

Washington State?
