Help bot is very good player. He plays at GetClub and has top ranking.
Since the GetClub Game is new Nomorechess is having low rating.

Initially you get 1000 rating. On winning you get +5 or +10 points
depending on level you beat. He has beaten more than 100 games and
lost only 2 Which is a great Job.

If you want to test his gameplay you can play online with nomorechess
at GetClub.com. I am sure he will win most of the good players. Except
TK, Bob and a few others.

See? I told ya so!

From my limited readings here in the newsgroups, I believe
a few of these guys are currently disclaiming any pretense
at 2300+-dom, pointing to old age or lack of practice, or some
combination of lack of study, old age, AND lack of practice
perhaps.

Just who is "Bob", anyway? Is he a real player, or just a
computer operator that happens to have Chessmaster or Fritz?

IM Innes claims to have played several times at GetClub,
but under different guises -- to protect the innocent. I think
I once saw him talk of losing to me -- yet I have no recall
of any such game ever having been played. In fact, I seem
to recall having faced only one human opponent on that site,
and he just dropped a piece for no reason. What are the
odds that this one freak occurrence was the nearly-an-IM,
while eating a PB&J sandwich, which dropped onto his
lap and distracted him in midgame? Fairly slim.

As to my record, I will interject that Sanny has left out
any mention of my draws -- though few in number -- which
of course are considered as failures of sorts, in view of the
program's relative weakness. Those games were eradicated,
purged from the record, by virtue of the fact that his Web
site allows for no way to score them, and for this I am
grateful. But the truth remains that I did draw, as well as
lose, to Sanny's program. And, just as with Taylor Kingston,
one game had his program declaring victory by way of the
resign button (so far as can be deciphered), yet in a very
favorable position, and this fluke was corrected, put right
by Sanny, for which I am grateful.

Far from being embarrassed by these failures, I prefer to
see the positive side: the side which points to the fact that
no rational human being can accuse me of having obtained
my multitude of victories by way of cheating with a Fritz, or
a Chessmaster program. No rational being could fail to see
the lunacy in maintaining this, while noting my draws and
my losses, which are simply inconceivable had I made use
of any number of commercial programs. I try to see these
failures as proof positive of my humanity, of my mortal
weakness which cannot hope to ever grasp the cusp of
true perfection, of immortality itself. And what's more, I
see it as contrasting my achievement with those of the
many wannabes, who would try and fool the whole world by
hiding behind a Fritz, pretending to be something they are
not, something great and everlasting. I see it as...

Sorry, gotta go. Pizza's ready! ;D
