with all the internet chess going on is the competition improving or am I not.

Score has stayed about the same over the years while play seems to have improved at least according to fritz. Is the competition getting better or am I in a rut?

Databases and everything allow more people to pretend they are good players longer than they can in OTB chess. I think people are just as lame as ever. Take away the electronic crutch and watch them flop around like fish out of water.
