Umm, ok.
idc
Ok.
I remember one time I played 50 daily games at once.
In fact over possibly the 100,000 games I've played, within those 50 was one game unlike any other that I could remember... it was a game where I won without losing a single pawn. A game that lasted 30+ moves, entered an endgame, and I won, all without me setting out to keep all my pawns. I just played normally and they were that bad.
You'll meet all kinds of unique bottom feeders that way.

I don't recommend preying on novices to build your ego. Instead, play people stronger than you or do tactics / studies to acquire merit.
Meh.
It's not that I want to build ego, it's that I'm lazy.
I mostly play unrated lichess after all.
But somehow unrated games against garbage players (for years on sites worse than lichess) that was enough for me to move from 1800 to 2200 over many years.
Meanwhile you and colby are still young. You can go far, but probably you need to learn a little about actual chess instead of relying on garbage openings and aggression

Oh, I see. "Bottom feeders" and "that bad" made it sound like you were hunting them deliberately.
You seem to suggest I have to go out of my way to find garbage. Quite the contrary, I step in it without meaning to.

Lol, come on now. I reached 2300 and actually play OTB. You haven't played since you hit 2200, because you know you will drop. You were constantly floating around 2130 with llamonade if I remember correctly.
When I finally get credentialed after this corona nonsense, you will be speaking to a CM, you mere mortal.
Oh I forgot. You friended DMB quickly. If you're that returning user then you're just a 1000 rated player.
Also somebody explain to my why literally every fresh account that seems to have intricate knowledge of the forum and its users, immediately befriends drmboss?
Lol, come on now. I reached 2300
Just like you're secretly a CM right?
You haven't played since you hit 2200, because you know you will drop.
Correct. But we're the same in that regard aren't we?

Ah, so you did mention the CM thing.
I don't care if you won some FIDE youth championship on some unknown island by beating 1200 rated players. So you're the best 12 year old in Nauru. I don't care.

Why would you say that, when you have no idea who I have played or beaten?
You do not play OTB, hence don't even have a concept of what actual chess entails or the skills that it requires.
A random, jealous noob who got lucky on a good day, hit a 2200 online rating and is desperately grasping it, holding on for dear life, so that he won't drop again. Literally 1 single point separates you from mediocrity, don't get puffy with me.

Haha ok, that's pretty good talk
I have played OTB through, just for the record.

I'd really appreciate it if you could find some dubious lines in what i've shown of my opening repertoire. As for aggression, I don't know but I certainly play for equity. I will go out of my way to pry open the light squares against the dutch, but that attitude doesn't carry over always into my response to the english or what not
I'm exactly the kind of person llama was talking about lmao
It's not that I like to imagine myself as intelligent, it's that interacting with other people constantly reminds me.
Although I admit chess.com forum is not a good measure. As I said it's full of kids and the elderly.
