dont worry about that guy bigreb. it is obvious from our play that neither of us is using a computer, or even following book openings. a 1700 rating is a 'B' but it can come in many styles. you could become a 'B' by just memorizing a bunch of openings, or you can be a 'B' by playing flashy moves that lead to losses by careless mistakes even though you might be 'better' than your rating.

I am a 1600-1800 player but I dont show many flashes of brilliance anymore, thats why I seldom play.

The 1700 rating was from years ago when I was playing tournament chess 80- 92 Now I could play above that level, I just do't know because I am not playing tournament's just area players beating some and losing too others. Some I have beaten have ratings 2000 or above.

How about this. You pick a vegetable to grow. Say 1000 square feet.
I'll take your choice and grow it too.
At harvest time we'll see who wins. No money involved. Even though you will lose by a landslide you'll (hopefully) have something left to eat.

Unless we have the same kind of soil in the same kind of climate zone with the same exact weather there is no way one can be better than the other. You could have a drought while I could have a year of 100% perfect weather just the right amount of rain no bugs.
