MikeDoherty, paraphrasing ICELAND's
newest citizen, the inimitable Fischer,
I will say this:
"I have no friends at the Chessboard."
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Maybe you need to read some more of his
comments courtesy of:
http://www.academicchess.com/
Focus/Fischer/Fischerquotes.shtml
[pay real close attention to the #8
quote I have posted here for you]:
#1 "Chess is war over the board. The
object is to crush the opponent's mind."
#2 "Chess is like war on a board."
#3 "I play honestly and I play to win. If
I lose, I take my medicine."
#4 "That's what chess is all about. One
day you give your opponent a lesson,
the next day he gives you one."
#5 "If I win a tournament, I win it by
myself. I do the playing. Nobody helps
me."
#6 "If you don't win, it’s not a great
tragedy - the worst that happens is
that you lose a game."
#7 "Don't even mention losing to me. I
an't stand to think of it."
#8 "I don't keep any close friends. I
don't keep any secrets. I don't need
friends. I just tell everybody everything,
that's all."

As for your "opionon" [sic] given as:
"....I think you should stop playing
1700 if you are 2200...then complain
about not getting points... just my
opionon [sic]...."
You are not reading what I am posting,
obviously. I said: a) I am NOT complaining,
b) this was a quirk of the system, c) I am
here for the point I may [or may not]
receive when I win, d) the rating points
take care of themselves, and e) etc, f) yada,
g) and-so-forth.
In short, a) because I issue challenges,
b) I play only Black, and therefore, c) I
have ABSOLUTELY NO CONTROL over who
takes on my challenges---get it!!!!!!!
Further, I don't CARE either. I just want
to PLAY some Chess!!!!!!!

Mike,
I have learned several things about
citizens from the GREAT WHITE NORTH:
#1 most are VERY good people, and
#2 the rest....
Short enough for you!
PS Which are you, a #1 or #2?!

You are absolutely off the wall...and thank you for stereotyping "canadians" as 1 and 2. I didnt know u could sum an entire countries civilization into into 2 numbers. All i have to say is this. Going into the forums looking for interesting discussion has become nearly impossible because u go into every thread and post your dramatically long winded responses which are usually hyper critical comments. It would be much appreciated if u could leave people to their own opinions and discussion without the dramatic posts.
P.S - I live in Canada
