well  the thing is i have played many more games vs computers than you , does
not mean i better than you , maybe better against computers . its a possibility
.plus my true rating is not 1616 ,1250 ect they are ratings based on see below
posting .i think im some where around 2100 or so .but that will change as i have
been practicing 6 or 7 hr. day every day .my new financial situation allows me
to devote much more time than ever before .plus i will be able to compete a
whole lot more .plus i have something you need to be champion i believe in
myself 100%.
