But I think him like others are tired of people making claims but and then comign up with fantastic excuses when asked to prove their claims. Someone claims he can score what 35% against computers? We ask to see it done under a controled system. We then have to listen to things like: 1) buy me a 2 gig computer system and then I will show you! 2)I can't afford the gas to get to your place. 3)I played games on chess base when no one was around. It is obvious he would go a long way towards creditbility if instead of repeatedly playing and posting games played in the privacy of his house he would say I will be on the playchess server at this time and date and play any computers that are there. Of course it woudl also be helpful if someone was physically present with the player to confirm he was not using a computer : ) It seems he lives in too remote an area. > > >>Why this nonsense for somebody without an ELO value? > > >For you it might be nonsense.

Those are servers that he can play computers on. We would be able to see the games too. No need for gas money. I think it is *possible* for someone 2000 to learn how to play computers and score 35%. However thsi is unlikely that it happened. When I here these claims I just roll my eyes.
