I've put up numerous games where I beat masters, senior masters, won Grand
Prix tournaments, state championships. Sam Sloan, now an A player,
considers himself a real player but not me.

Sam can't be a real player. He is only 200 points higher than me and he's
been playing for fifty years or more. I've only been playing for 12. Sam
must be a fish.

Let's give credit where credit is due.

It takes more studying to become a 1500 player than to get a PhD in
mathematics according to Sloan, and he's 1900-something.

My what 50+ years of chessplaying will do for a motivated player.

Matt
