I'll have to watch the game unfold to ...err...um...decide if....either of you is...uh....worthy.Ya,ya thats it.

I played in the American open once.In the under 1800 section since I was unrated.I finished below 1st ...well below.

[kcbob]

Swell, just what we need, Carolus. A ringer.

Smash... you played in the American open? I'm impressed. Seriously. My house payment offer is void after my first game, in that case. Heck, I might have to void it anyway depending on how badly CR is kicking my butt.

Ok, I suggest we keep the post with the moves "clean" and post our comments and harassments in separate ones. That way we can use the "reply with quote"-feature for the actual game. Or better yet, editing in our moves in one single post?

Kcbob I think you're the editing champ with that one, at least it looks like a strong contender.

American Open? A World Championship then if we apply the logic from basketball, baseball etc...

Edited: On with the English lesson. A ringer?

Good idea. I don't care what they say, you're pretty sharp, Carolus.

A ringer is someone brought in to compete in a sporting event but who far surpasses the skill level of the opponents. For example, the Swedish national soccer team convinces Pele (in his prime) to play for them. It's not bad when it's your team bringing in the ringer. When you have to play against a bunch of ringers, you're in trouble.

"Good idea. I don't care what they say, you're pretty sharp, Carolus."

Who are "they? Which thread is making fun of me, is there an e-mail list I can join (under a different handle of course!)?

I see that my point about harassing in separate posts got through all right...
