Rated under 1200? What kind of scam are you trying to pull?
Right Nytik!! This may or may not help those with a low rating. But what would a rated player gain from this?
nothing if u dont include the great playing experience of playing against a master????

I dont know why people have such a hard time understanding this exhibition ? My purpose is to give those people who never get a chance to play a titled player a chance to do so. I figure the lower rated they are the lower their chances are of playing one. Its not rocket science folks. What do I get out of it ? I get the satisfaction of promoting the game we all love and giving some people a shot at a titled player that they may otherwise never get.

Rex is providing a service. For free. When someone provides something for free, those who are eligible say thanks, and those who aren't eligible say "oh, that was nice of him."
The 1400 in question was u1300 when this was first announced, and they registered for the event at that time, and when it came time to start the event, Rex was happy to still include them. (Btw, if you read previous posts, you would have understood that).
Thanks, Rex!
Look at his live chess... his live chess is far higher then mine.. and im stronger Turn based.. shows that he just started turn based and he shouldav been 1600+ in turn based.
EDIT: im making a big deal out of this cause he played some1 far stronger then i.. and he played a non paying member (i believe it was only for paying members..) i feel like im being scammed out of this.. as i cant play but those 2 can?
And promoting chess? please.. what if i never played a titled player.. and you said this is for U1300 who never played them.. and im not allowed to play a titled player but some unpaying member can?
The non premium members I am playing was my mistake. What happened was I was receiving challenges and just not checking them closely and accepting. I accepted some that were not premium because I wasnt paying close attention to their challenges, assuming all understood the requirements and only those who met them would challenge me..... ofcourse I should have known better. I am now checking more closely when I receive a challenge.
also, you can't be scammed out of getting something being given out for free. Rex is trying to be nice, and he shouldn't have to be on here defending (!!) himself for doing it.

Lmfao, i did not get it at first then i got it.. sorry im slow :P
and okay Reb.. i look forward to it :)
well after much squabling and finally a sense of peace.....i must say, it was too easy! i let him win so as not to damage his confidence in future games!
lol, no seriously, it was the best beating i've ever taken and an absolute pleasure to play a NM or GM. so a BIG thanks to Rex and to dpruess for making this happen!
and yes, this low rated player can now say he played a master! great stuff!
quite possible. but not in the works at the moment (so not really soon).
