Did I call it, or did I call it? I asked this bull****ting piece of
**** coward for ONE SINGLE EXAMPLE of a case of a Canadian
sandbagging, which shouldn't have been difficult, even for this idiot,
since he said it was A "QUITE COMMON PRACTICE".

Poor, poor Skippy. My imbecile student has not yet
mastered the skill of reading. :(

What I wrote was that *according to them*, this
was a commonplace thing. My own knowledge
of the habits of Canadian players is very limited
on account of my living not in Canada, but in the
USA. In fact, the players in question singled out
New York and the East coast in general as the
places they traveled to to sandbag and win money,
not the Midwest. This only makes sense when
you consider that NY and Phily are the primary
locales of the big-money events, apart from Las
Vegas.


As usual, when asked
for facts to back up the bull**** he's spewing, he comes up completely
empty-handed.

Look Skip: do you really expect me to name names,
to embarrass a few specific Canadians just in order to
satisfy the cravings of a raving lunatic? Suffice it to
say that you need to grow up a little, get some real
perspective on life. Your personal cravings are not
what the world revolves around. This would only make
sense if you, Skippy Repa, were to sign a sworn
affidavit that upon seeing the names in question, you
would shut up and get a life. Yes, then I might sacrifice
these kindly fellows on the altar of humanity! LOL

BTW, have you ever heard of the Peace Games?
It is a VERY friendly competition between the USA
and Canada, wherein the two neighboring countries
compete in various sports (and games), "in the
spirit of friendship" and all that. Now what sort of
spirit of friendship is it where one side later
incriminates the other's participants on charges of
cheating, based upon their own admissions? After
seeing what "my fellow Americans" are capable of, I
hold no grudges against these Canadians for trying
to exploit our muddled system to win some money.
To me, it just shows that corruption is commonplace,
the world over. The attitude seems to be: "beat the
system, by hook or by crook".


We do, however, have two concrete examples of americans steve
rosenberg and eugene varshavsky, doing far worse than sandbagging.
They were caught CHEATING WITH PROGRAM ASSISTANCE.

Ah, so those were Americans. You know, in addition
to a high suicide rate, we Americans seem to have a
real problem with greed. The focus is all too often on
money, and even the term success is taken for granted
as referring primarily to *financial* success. :(


Their behavior is
typical of the american mindset......"get ahead at all costs". "Screw
the other guy before he screws you". Canadians don't think this way
and have higher moral standards.

LOL! Apparently, you need to get out more. Try
visiting Toronto some time. I expect the problem is
not as severe in Canada, but from what I have seen,
there is still an issue with corruption. For example,
did you know that in our friendly PG competitions,
the Canadians routinely "stacked the ladder" in order
to win? It's true. No money at stake, yet winning
was everything, just as in American sports! In fact,
our guys were so dumb that they allowed this to work,
time and again! You guys kicked our butts in chess
not because we were that much weaker, but because
your guy in Toronto took pains to determine in advance
exactly how far he needed to go (such as drawing from
Toronto's University, for instance) in order to win. This
is equivalent to us "borrowing" from Chicago to stack
our team with "ringers", so we could win at all costs,
as you put it. FWIW, our guy was not clever enough to
even think of such a plan!



Perhaps this is why americans are
despised internationally and often lie and say they're Canadians when
travelling abroad.

Maybe so. But part of it is due to the warmongering
of our past and current presidents. I expect the lying,
if it exists, is directed at self-preservation.


I must have really hit home with my cracks about this imbecile having
a low IQ.

Well, this is the first time I've seen you come to
accept your problem, and that is the first step
toward solving it. Now, if we can work together,
we may, over the course of several years, begin
to improve your mind, if only by baby steps.



He was probably devistated

Devistated? A combination of "devise" and
"reinstated", perhaps?



to find out his tickle test score
was worthless and in reality he's in the 70-90 range.

Look Skippy, the folks at Tickle claim to have taken
many of their test questions from the very source you
seem to believe is the true litmus test. Get a grip.


Myself, I was tested in high-school and scored in the high 140's (top
2%).

In my high school, they gave the SAT and similar tests,
but not any IQ test. However, in elementary school we
were given such tests and our parents were told the results.
Mine were advised not to inform me of the actual result on
account of the possibility of my getting a swelled head.
The ill effects of this can be clearly seen in those
imbeciles who *were* informed, as shown just above!



I wrote a formal, timed, mensa exam and scored more than well
enough for entry to mensa.

Isn't that "Mensa", Skippy?

I was offered a membership, but declined it because,
as I explained: I didn't want to belong to any club that
would have someone like me for a member.

Compared to me you're like a lower life
form.

Compared to you, I am a genius. But fortunately,
there are other measures. (I like to compare myself
to people who can actually think.)


Something like a neanderthal man. The fact that I play expert
class chess,

Bullet chess, you must mean. Sam Cleto must
think you are a fishy Class A player, at best.


and you're a patzer with a rating in the 1400's is
further evidence.

It's true that my rating is in the 1400s at GetClub.
But then, that is the all-time highest rating ever recorded
there in the history of the world! LOL

My rating on RedHot Pawn is somewhat higher, but
then, everyone starts off at 1200, not 1000. I now have
lost two games at RHP, which makes me wonder
whether a lot of strong players are sandbagging, or if
a few are testing out their chess programs on me. I
have not run any of these games to see if the moves
match up with "Fritz" yet, but perhaps I will do so
eventually. Mainly I am trying to be a bit more cautious
in my play, since my experience at GetClub seems
to have weakened my play a bit. You see, GetClub's
chess program had no endgame whatever, just random
losing moves.
