alanback: i know what you mean .. i mostly play tournaments without paying too much attention to my opponents ratings .. and i sometimes curse myself when i lose to a lower rated player .. i like the ratings :)

but i also like the game .. and to play against different opponents .. so everytime i still join new tournaments with new players instead of only the top players
(i do join the 2200+ tournaments as well though :))

i guess its even worse when you are 2400+ :)


but! to try a new tournament type on this site must be something special .. isnt it ? .. shouldnt that be worth a small risk in bkr ? ;)
(your win/loss ratio shows you win twice as many as you lose .. so thats more than 55% :))
