Up to your same old tactics eh ol' geezer? Why don't you tell everyone here
why you've cowardly avoided playing rated chess for over ten years? Your
last published rating was barely over 2000. Do you think anyone believes
you're worth anything near that now?


Analysis:

The creature known as Jason Repa seems to wish for a
"showdown at sunset" with the writer of the top part quoted
above, namely IM Innes. My take is that it feels it has
little to lose, for even if it were to lose such a match, it
could reverse course and say it lost to a nearly-an-IM,
which is no big deal. OTOH, were the creature to somehow
win, it would be seen as boosting the creature's status
immensely, and this would in turn feed the creature's
overblown ego all the more.

An interesting match-up, indeed; yet I somehow feel
that it would be more appropriate for the creature to first
test its mettle against someone like, say, Sam Sloan.
Perhaps the creature could find "common ground" in a
few of Mr. Sloan's famous, ah, pursuits?

In any case, it is interesting that a creature so low and so
poorly educated, can nevertheless appear to demonstrate
a remarkable skill at the game of chess! This I find very
interesting, if also a bit disturbing.
