One thing’s for sure, when you’re in the park, you know if someone’s using a book or Explorer or some crap like that. I just finished several three minute games against all types of ratings and for the life of me I can’t figure out why the 1453 player was considerably easier than some of the 12+ players. Happens a lot. Today or yesterday I discovered that a lot of people on here use books and Explorer for their openings; that would explain a lot. If I was in the park—Never have been – – and I saw someone opening a book or use an explorer, I’d say “see ya.”
Just did it again, a 1464 this time. Again, easier than some of those 1200+ people. And before the 1464 I beat a 1325, also easier, and the 1325 person has played over 33,000 games—Over five times as many games as I have played!
