Then there you go. I am a different person.

I'll believe you for now. After all, I cannot prove you are YGNR, and insisting you are is not going to solve anything. It will only make me look immature.

If you are aware of that then why have you been doing public outbursts so far?

Yes. Public outbursts?

You've been argumentative and pretty salty this entire time. Kicking and screaming like the kid who doesn't want to leave chuck E cheese... between accusations, and deciding you wouldn't make accusations for fear of "looking" immature, claiming that if you are not a judge of maturity than another isn't either and your not wanting to hold you breath comment, attacking Drmrboss and such. Wouldn't you say you are struggling to deal with negative emotions / turmoil and are lashing out online instead of processing them normally ooorr....?????

1) I'm didn't attack drmrboss. I am very confused as to why he would friend YGNR, though. 2) You've had more outbursts than I. This is also the reason you are not qualified to judge maturity. 3) I'm argumentative when I have good reason to believe I'm right. You've not given me a reason to suggest I'm wrong. 4) I accused you, then realized it made no sense to continue. So I backed up. Simple.

You said you used to have respect for him, past tense. all because you're upset today. and what's with this YGNR of all people jazz, if she's gone why are you still fuming? And what's with this self proclaimed argumentative stuff? You have long winded explanations / excuses, you obviously thought about this a lot. Instead of letting it take up so much real estate in your brain, I suggest freeing up some of your faculties to start moving on and getting your feet back under you.

You've clearly thought about this more. You know enough about YGNR to know why I'd still be angry after she leaves. But you're right. There's no point in that. So I'll stop debating.

From my first rated game, it took me 36 years to reach 2000, when I was over 50, and I have stayed there. I played a lot for 30 years, then only about 10-15 games per year since. I don't think I understand chess better, but I probably put more into every game.

Do you mean 2000 on a chess site or 2000 elo?

I broke 2000 for the first time in blitz some time in early Jun 2017 on this site (I created this account due to encouragement by one of my local regular chess club players here who has also played a lot of games with me on this site). I was unstable and stable, and then I dropped all the way since then below 2000. Only on occasions I barely clear the 2000 mark.

I finally broke my 2000 barrier for bullet some time two months ago, but it was a short-lived one as I went downhill to below 1700 within 2 weeks after (losing to lots of lower rated players in tournaments).

I have yet to hit 2000 in rapid on this site.

As for puzzles, I can't remember where I broke the 2000 mark.

In real life, I never got to hit 2000 at all (but my local rating system has been abolished a few years ago. Back then I received an initial surprise of receiving an initial rating of 1700+ (and I was not even aware I had a rating), because most of my fellow players were rated 1300+ and they told me that my rating was much higher. I didn't know I had a rating back then, squandered it and my rating went down to 1600+. When I joined the next tournament some time later, that was when I realised I had a rating of 1600+ (I was very happy being rated 1600 because I thought I was probably 1200+ if I had a rating), and when I checked my past records, that was when I discovered that I was once really rated 1700+.

My FIDE rating is lower than most other players, currently standing at 0.00.

2000 separates the men from the boys. 1600 2000 and 2400 are the three big ones

Nice job eric I didn't get it at all in the beginning but my mom insisted I learn.
