No problem, Bacon.   Welcome back, btw.   I haven't seen you for a while.   I thought maybe you got banned or switched to another chess site.

Thanks Jeff, and thanks for the friend request.  I have always enjoyed your posts.  I did take a much needed break from here.  I was all caught up in the forum drama, and it was making me miserable.  Now im back and better.  Of course that depends on who you ask :-)

A combination of wins and draws is how you win tournaments.   Take it from a former tournament player.   Magnus is the rare exception to the general rule.   Everyone else would rather draw than lose.

Yeah, I've been there, so I get it.   I've had to take several breaks from Facebook, due to too much drama.

M.Carlsen the king of draws. If you draw every game and happen to be world champion you stay world champion.

Every one else just has to win one draw the rest.

UltraBullet (15 seconds) and HyperBullet (30 seconds) is not real chess.

Chess is defined by the rules of the game, not people's whims.
