That's what I thought smyslovfan, the idea is so good you would think there would be very little to argue about. Unfortunately sub 1600 players had access to the thread and that is where things started foing south.

Thanks for buttressing my arguement agilitatta ,sub 1600 players know so little they pretty much have no idea what's going on. If they spent more time learning from the archives the forums would be cleared and more quality chess threads could be enjoyed by those who have paid their dues.

I agree with the duck. It would keep me out of here and I could stop wasting so much of my precious time. Laughing

Thanks Wolfbird , I often think of myself as a servant of the people. CC does not care how much time you waste here , in fact they want you to waste time while I have the best interests of the sub 1600 herd at heart

There is already a lot more love and understanding going around this thread since the binary code dudes have stopped posting. I am now also available for friend requests and or trophies.

sad: we lost Whip_kitten.

we will have a memorial for you~  anyways I'm only a single solitary point from being booted off "survivor chess island".

Does the winner really win a 1000000$, and what if he/it only faked the 1600 rating qualification....

sitting duck. I'm really getting tired of your annoyance. Why don't you find a more suitable environment for your weirdness. 

Avatar of thegreat_patzer

how many people think sitting_duck was the same guy as the famous premium_duck??  same pic. same troll content.

that thread was epic. he called us All nerds...but perhaps if we worked on a harley, drank in a bar, brawled a little; we might be but, like him,  a chess dude who is NOT a nerd.

oh. and you can't know any openings if you're a cool chess guy.

what say you , sittting_duck or is my One point of qualification Not enough to pry into no doubt color backstory?

Greatpatzer I am indeed also known as premium duck aka naked duck aka Solastalgia all of which where legit accounts I held one at a time ,you will find me a stickler for rules however outdated they might be.

@Nekhemevich ...you find my posts annoying and want me to go somewhere else while the thread is about me finding sub 1600 player threads annoying and wanting them to go somewhere else ,there is a bizarre irony at play here.

@ Whip Kitten ...I am willing to give you a temporary honorary rating of 1650 for 48 hours by which time you must prove to me you are dedicated to move out of the wood pusher crowd.

In conclusion I think it we have learned several things from this thread :

There is definitely quite a lot of support to restrict sub 1600 players and I will take it up with management.

We have also learned that you need to be semi-fluent in Latin and binary code in order to post here.

And last but not least some folks should definitely look into other hobbies that might be more suitable for them and I am not saying nekhemevich or iowens because that would be naming names and I don't do that sort of thing.

Never seen rating inflation being used so constructively! High-five for the Duck!

Why did the duck crossed the road?

Correct answer brings you a 1651 rating.

Because his alter ego ALIVE was on the other side?

Wow! That was really close! And I mean, really, really close. Try to make a preformulation of that.

No idea what preformulation means, and to lazy to look it up, so i will just say Thank You.

no, but when they feed under the water they do siphon the water, in their bill, from their intended food.

 you have to admit, its really Close to Sucking.

"Combing Through the Good Stuff

Just inside the beak are small, tooth-like notches called lamellae. These fine structures help ducks filter out water, mud and other items the duck doesn't want to eat. The lamellae remove the undesirables from the mouth, leaving only the intended food. A duck may have a few dozen to a few hundred lamellae, depending on the type of duck. The lamellae also helps a duck to grip food."

OMG, the metaphorical suck, of course (reaction to #225)

Dear TheRoid 1, I thank you for thanking me for sharing my opinion. I looked at your profile, rating and threads and noticed you asked what the one thing is you should do to get your rating up to 1000 from its current level of 850. In your case ,sir, I would suggest learning how the pieces move. You will find the game almost instantly makes more sense. I also noticed you claim to constantly lose against people worse than you at chess which suggests you are capable of traveling to other planets where chess is completely unknown as it is impossible to find someone worse than 850 on earth. I own a rooster that could beat you. ( a rooster is a male chicken)
