Just want to add that not even drawing with lower rated players can make a big
ratings dent--Tinker sometimes wins 3 of 4 only to draw one and lose about 15
points.  However, at this point for Tinker, more games is better so it is open
to anyone >1800, and I hope some players find the challenge fun.
