Default Neil Brennen's claim to fame

Neil Brennen's claim to fame is that he invented the term "Trollgar"
which has been widely copied and is almost universally accepted.

Now, will you stop changing the title to these threads. Note that I
have changed the title. It used to be "Neil Brennen's claim to fame."
I have changed it to Neil Brennen's claim to fame (no dot.)

Sam Sloan's universe is 10 people big. Like other strong players she used to
post here. Like other abusive posters, you have done your fair part in
driving strong players away.

I applaud your use of brevity here, a most refreshing change.

Any proof to your statements?

Default Chessville Knights of Neep win their division

Now for some "real chess" news

http://www.chessworld.net/chessclubs...sp?from=179341

The Chessville Knights of Neep have won their division at
chessworld.net!

The Chessville Knights of Neep!
The Chessville Knights of Neep! vs.
Raptors

4-1

The Chessville Knights of Neep! vs.
The crushers

5-0
The Chessville Knights of Neep! vs.
The Sharks

5-2

The Chessville Knights of Neep! vs.
Intergalactic Net Travelers

3-4

Points Scored/ Total Points Possible

33/46

Anyone who wants to play is invited. Quite a few regular posters here
played but I will not mention them all unless they offer that
themselves. I have invited many of my attackers to play friendly games
but few take me up on it. Mr. Bot joined and we have played several
games and I must say he has always been cordial and helpful during
play and never one rubs my nose in any of my frequent bad moves!

Taylor, Brennen and Sloan have all been invited to play as has
Stephen . None will accept.

How about a /reverse proof/:


1. Phil Innes is a weak player.

2. Phil Innes has *not* been driven away from rgc.

3. Therefore, it must be the strong players who
have been driven away from rgc (if indeed any
have been).


Or this:


1. The strongest player who has not (yet) been
driven away from rgc is 2300+ Taylor Kingston,
who is really a Class A player.

2. It appears that all /really strong/ players have
already been driven off.

3. The most likely cause is they don't like
idiots like nearly-IMnes and Mr. Sloan.

4. Most likely, if nearly-IMnes stays, they will
not return. But if nearly-IMnes travels to where
the strong players are now, they may leave and
come here to rgc (to get away from him).

5. Therefore, nearly-IMnes should enter real
chess tournaments and stop posing here.
Posting, I meant. (No, really-- it was just a slip.)

Do you think they are afraid-- nothing to
gain and everything to lose (like, say,
playing Sanny's program)?

FYI: some of the invitations I have received
came when the tourneys in question were
already filled up, or at least so it seemed.
But there is also the small matter of the
proclamation "We are the Knights of Neep;
we battle evil chess politicians, tilt at
windmills and indeed, have a dozen
different chess teams, not all of which are
named for silly Monty Python themes".

I'm just waiting for a better theme; like, say,
James Bond ("we save the world every day--
without spilling a drop of vodka") or the Pink
Panther ("you will never see these silly
pajamas again, I can assure you, Ms.
Down... hohohoh").

Well,
You have played some wonderful games and my only regret is I hav't
been more of a challenge to you. Just when I think I found something
ticky I end up playing worse than "get chess". LOL

The last few tournaments I have had that have been "open" tournaments
fill up pretty quickly. I can restrict private tournaments to full
members but that leaves a few out. We even had Yelena Dembo playing in
one tournament. I learned to not play goofy gambits against a WGM. LOL

you didn't play me when you had the chance. As usual, you have to suppose a
lot instead

That must be a rhetorical question. It's an established fact P Innes
never has proof for his statements.

Do you think


shut up and play if you can, if you'll actually risk something. that's the
only proof real players accept - not 'thinking' )

tell us your opinion 700 games later - get it? otherwise, please continue to
prevaricate on how great you cudda bin, etc. and what is wrong with me,
Fischer and that patzer Kasparov

you protest too much bot, but you reference your own activities too little -
so you are reduced to making other people as little as you

come on in, stop talking about stuff you don't do, and do it. then you maybe
won't need to protest so much about others who do it, and will understand my
opinion of the grandstanders
