Haha! Thanks batgirl
<HueyWilliams> I guess it's all relative to your current level anyway... I still get pretty well mystified by people in the high 2300s and up - and occasionally also lower than that.
But sometimes it's also a bit of false perception... it happens to me quite often to watch somebody play and be very impressed with his moves and all - then I play him, and it's like 3:0 in my favor or something. Quite a typical scenario (though it still doesn't happen to me against the 2300+ crowd, ofc)
