Not sure solvers are allowed. Best to check with Charlie.Ian Dent wrote:Worse, especially without my solver.

I'm currently rated "casual knobber" but think I'm more deserving of the title "porn pro"

Better. I'm as good as my best games, and not as shit as my worse. I guess consistency counts though, in which case my rating is pretty precise. PRECISELY WACK!

I'm nowhere near as good as I thought I was when I joined; not sure how that transcribes to rating but it does mean I beat some people but lose a lot. Probably fair then

My rating suggests I might be quite good. But it's not really the case. Thank you, Prime.

I would say my rating has got me just about right.

Maybe about 50 points better, because my concentration sometimes wanders, and I often play while listening to music or chatting online and stuff. Also, I lost a lot of points through sturgglign to get used to the numbers entry system at first, and I'm not sure those have levelled off in less than 70 games.

I'm not as yellow as my avatar suggests.

I'm somewhat hilariously inconsistent – I'll play someone and beat them by 20 points or something, then play them again immediately afterward and end up with less than half their score. There are some people who are ranked lower than me right now that I've never been able to beat, so I said worse.
