looking for top players

i have been playing for 50 years & am looking for good players to play.

i want to find out how good or bad i am

just because you've been playing for half a century doesn't mean you can compete with "top players".  play a few games on here, let your rating level out, and then you'll know the ballpark you are in.

This topic's title should have been looking for fellow novices

i like that comment  lol... Challange me heinzie & we will see

 So, play already!  Plenty of online and Live Chess members out there ready to play with you, and, they're all 'good' players (in their own way).

 i see you have played alot ??? (NOT)

Focus on playing rather than sniping.  I predict all will then be solved.

ps.  I've played over a 1,000 games on this site (as you'll see by my profile), but I've been a player for decades.  Perhaps having played as many as 50,000+ games.

On glancing at your profile, it's good to see you've finally started playing here.
