Thank you for your support.
sorry but I decline your invitation to be friends. it is not because i do not like you.

I have quite a bit of friends (90+), but I challenge them to games and then interact with them in the chat. I prefer to play games against people who talk during the games, so accumulating friends is a good way to find people to talk to. I almost never use the open games due daily chess anymore. I just go to my friend list as ask myself, hmm, who have I not played recently? And then I play a game with that person and chat with them. I would not consider that accumulating friends just for the sake of accumulating friends.

Now that is a good idea. So, it is possible to challenge a friend to live chess? I have never had that happen before. Wow, I see that our Chess960 ratings are nearly identical, although not regular Blitz. Perhaps we should be friends? I will try to friend you although I certainly can't whine if you decline my request. I may be a little hypocritical but I try not to be a big-time hypocrite.

talapia......I'll delete those pics if you want. I don't want to de-rail your thread.
Dude, the whole point is just keep the subject header on the most recently replied topics, so that is what people see when they go to forums. My purpose is to lern everyone a lesson about, friending people all the time for no reason other than to increase their friend score. I am an education bot sent by the lern committee.
I do not care which direction you take this thread. Talk about space aliens for all I care. I thought your pics were funny and enjoyed them.

You seem to be quite a lot better than me, but I challenged you anyways. I'm excited to play!
