Like GM Walter Browne > once told me in Netanya, Israel - "So you learn the hard way, huh..." ;-) > > Sune :) I have never used a word like "strong" in this thread (I think :), I just didn't have the impression that more than 2 or 3 had ratings > 2250 in this forum. I still don't know if it's true, because nobody has named more than 1 or 2 GMs and Vincent. /David P.S. I would love to be 2200. If I were, all my chess dreams would have come true. I have bought loads of chess books, and even studied some of them :), and my rating is about 1600 when I am active (I think). I don't know for sure, as I have never played any actually rated FIDE games.
