i'm not going to ban him. he hasn't done anything wrong. there is no rule against saying silly, inane, pointless, self-agrandizing, or otherwise eye-roll-causing things. plus, many people like the interesting reads. i personally find him entertaining (usually) despite being let down by his inability to talk smack and not back it up (our chess game and this thread being prime examples).
Well then you should ban him for his own good! Kinda like you should ban urself for your own good (and all the other reasons Dr doc MD said you should be banned for) XD.

FADE IN:
EXT. SMALLTOWN NEIGHBORHOOD -- USA -- NIGHT
A dark figure clad in black pulls two things from his pocket, it is a matchbook and a bottle. He glances around. He is alone. The house he stands next to is empty. The family is out for a late night movie. A window shatters. A match is struck. The rag at the end of a gasoline filled bottle is lit and tossed into the window. The mysterious figure slinks into the shadows.
EXT. SMALLTOWN NEIGHBORHOOD -- HILLTOP -- USA -- NIGHT
From a hill on the other side of the neighborhood, the figure watches as the the entire house goes up in flames. The intense heat causes the neigboring houses to spontaneously combust. Pretty soon, the entire community is ABLAZE.
The figure is filming the event. It is pandemonium. Police and firefighters are on the scene but it is too late. Nothing can or will be saved. The figure stops filming and tucks his movie camera into his jacket pocket.
In the moonlight, there is just a hint of a smile on his face as he disappears into the shadows.
FADE OUT.

I checked and it's certainly not more popular than Yahoo Chess is.
Yahoo.com isn't a chess site. It's an everything site, and my claim was only that Chess.com is the most popular CHESS website. I didn't claim we have the most number of players, the biggest membership, or anything else. I only claimed that each day more people visit Chess.com than any other chess site.

You give me a mere 15 minutes to prove I'm right, posting several times as a countdown, and then no admission? Well here's my countdown: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 =>
Looks like you're out for the count. What happened to "I stand corrected. I am a MAN and I admit my ERRORS." ?
Yahoo! Chess is just an offshoot of Yahoo! and its still beating you in in the ratings.
you should start a TV show called "Pearls of Wisdom from an 11-Year-Old".

nice response cheater_-1. did you happen to be reading something from your comic book collection before you logged in?
LOL this is funny reading the way everyone is going on about it. Who cares if its number 1# now or later to me this is still a brilliant site to play chess and has done well so far, much better now then it was when i first came here. Thanks Erik and Team keep up the good work mates....
erik didn't mean to offend. I used to play chess there and I looked on the sites you listed to see if their chess url got more hits than yours. It's not a personal thing I love this site
