Yes, I remember Steen saying something about "we are all patzers here." No, I didnt feel offended when that happened. I have played chess since the age of 14 - not so much the last 10 years - except for games vs engines - but I wouldn't go skyhigh if you called me a patzer ;-) In a way I guess I am - at least compared to those really into chess (I work with other things)- good IM:s and GM:s. Maybe I'm not a patzer in my district - but that's another story. I think I miss some tolerance around here. Also looks like some people are loaded with prestige to defend - for some reason. /S
