In my own very limited experience with Canadian players,
I discovered that, according to them, it was quite common
practice to travel to the northern states to throw games in
order to drive down their USCF ratings so they could play
in a lower section come the big-money events.

More talking out of your ass with compete fabricated lies. I bet you
can't name one single example of this. Just ONE example. The truth is
that Canadian players are STRONGER than american players with a
similiar rating.

Look, Skippy: I have no position on this, on whether
Canadian ratings or American ratings are higher or
the same. All I'm saying is that these guys themselves
*bragged* about winning the big bucks by beating the
system, or if you prefer, outwitting folks like Bill
Goichberg who thought they had a handle on this,
but were in fact quite clueless.



They don't need to "throw games" to be effectively
underrated in uscf events. They already are underrated.

Perhaps. But by throwing games they were able
to compete in an even lower section. Since you
are an imbecile, let me give a simplified example:

Suppose a player from Canada was of 2100 strength
USCF and he wanted to avoid playing American
sandbaggers in the Class A section. Instead of
throwing games to get down to 1999, this guy would
of course ALREADY be somewhere in the Class A
range, having been doing this routinely for years. So
he throws games until he gets into the Class B
section, where the Experts who have sandbagged to
play down a section are no longer a threat. In this
section, the Class B section, all he needs to worry
about are the myriad American sandbaggers who
are mainly of Class A strength. At 2100 strength,
the Canadian sandbagger has a huge advantage
over the American sandbaggers, apart from a very
few who have made it their life's work to sandbag,
who have studiously avoided ever establishing a
decent USCF rating which would raise their floor.



You better get your facts straight my pathetic cowardly friend who
hides behind aliases....... It was two americans that got caught
cheating in the world open.

Fine. Nobody said that Americans don't sandbag,
or that Americans don't cheat. That is beside the
point, Skippy.

There has never been a single case of any
Canadian even being accused of cheating on a major usa tournament.

Wow. I suppose you typed that while keeping
a 90%-straight face! LOL

Look, Skippy: nobody can possibly know such
a thing, as it would require "omniscience". That
is a quality attributed by men to God -- never to
mere mortals. You really are an imbecile, Skip.


The reason is that Canadians, on average, have much higher morals and
sense of fair play.

The ones I dealt with were very friendly and
even generous. The fellow who hosted me for
that event spent a good deal of money on my
account. I have no complaints, apart from
getting zero in the way of sleep and thus playing
below par. Tip: NEVER ride the bus to Canada
in the summertime!


As I said, there is ample proof out there. When you're not busy
cowering from your own shadow, do some research and you'll find that
much more often than not, when Canadians and americans lock horns on
the chessboard, the Canadians perform better than their
ratings......the americans worse. There are, of course, a few
exceptions.

I watched a game where IM Igor Ivanov was
stomping GM Walter Browne. Unfortunately,
time pressure ensued and the IM choked it,
losing. The clowns at Chess Lies published
this as a sort of brilliancy for the GM! LOL


Were you beaten and humiliated by your parents Help-Bitch?

Projection is a remarkable thing; not only
does it allow a glimpse deep inside the mind of
the disturbed writer, but it somehow allows him to
express deep-set pain, which is healthy.



I'm trying to understand how someone could develop into such a pathetic and
lowely little creature. You're afraid of everyone and everything

Interesting. But now the question is: are you
ever going to face your inner fears? Oh, and
Skippy, you misspelled "lowly". By adding on
an extra vowel, you change the pronunciation
from two to three syllables. Thus: low-el-ee.
Of course, this word has but two syllables:
low-lee. Keep trying, Skip. Don't let your low
IQ deter you from your quest to master the
American language -- the language which will
no doubt become universal throughout the
entire world (whether George Bush manages
to conquer it or not).
