Of course it was never about rank or rating but rather the happiness and enjoyment that I derive from playing chess at a high level. Still, it is nice to be ranked in the top 10… Although, I still have work to do as there is no tenth rank in chess.

Dare I state the obvious but computer engine use has been traditionally prohibited on USCF CC, yet of course we know this rule is obviously not being enforced with club-level OTB players sporting 2300-2500 cc ratings in the top 10 list. That’s why I only play via the ICCF-US branch. With computer use being allowed there, nobody gets cheated and everything is fair. Now THAT is a top 10 list one can respect.
I’mnot that mucɦ of a online reader to be
honest but your sites really nice, keep it up! I’ll go
aheazd and bookmark yߋur website to come badk down the road.
Cheers
