This is like those who get high scores in CTS but cannot translate this to improved performances FICS/ICC/Playchess. A high CC rating does not mean you are good or as good OTB.
if by "virtual", you are giving hint about engine use, I don't think you've got evidence.
other than that, I was referring to CC play.

Originally posted by Jiei have to admit that there is a certain integrity and honesty about a player that has the guts to document his progress and failures in all aspects of the game, whether OTB, CC or otherwise, and not only that, but as a direct consequence of this, success awaits him due to the fact that he is willing to look at his mistakes and try to gauge where they were erroneous, don't you think?
Yes I was talking about having a high virtual rating but being toothless OTB or FICS/ICC/Playchess. Wormwood, you don't happen to fall in this category by any chance? Hehe Hehe .....

I'm sick of people who are not real chess players dude. Everybody knows we are looking for 128 players and you have people posting in the forums only and not playing chess. Should we line them up and shoot them?

What defines "people who are not real chess players?"
Because if it means what I think it does, you must hate 95% of the worlds population.
