most of you know about this website
beach is trying to get acf members to play there
ones that dont really play online
otherwise a good many of you do
want to help the youth and see checkers grow?
prolly not <(opinion)
but you could play there and give examples of
sportsmanship and perhaps give some good competition
which are certainly lacking

Competition lacking in Kurnik??

The ACF players don't give the top competition in Kurnik. Most of them are minor players that use programs in 20 minute games.

i was referring to the non minor players who do not play in kurnik
however if they use programs ...why complain you would be getting a better opponent

mday why do you always speak like your angry?
even in simple unimportant sentences it seems so
i often find you putting people down or some such similar .......
offer help or silence

however besides alex.......not too many grandmasters frequent kurnik
unless your familiar with people i am not....

not meaning to offend anyone .....i know good players are there
but certainly not ALL of the best .......just trying to show beachs idea support


who gives the top competition?
mday

I am never angry :angel13:


dreamhelper, nogood, po_pimpin, gladiator, jolt, transplants, rusms(A.M.), montrose (Docherty) give good competition. Find these players for best competition in kurnik in faster games.

In slower games, find brainman (JDC), alcan (T.Kozenski), xciocox.

however besides alex.......not too many grandmasters frequent kurnik
unless your familiar with people i am not....


I think only rusms and montrose are the current "valid" checkers grandmasters in kurnik. Maybe alcan is a GM too...
L.Edwards was a regular in kurnik before kurnik had it's "boom" of popularity.

But... on a 2-3 minute timer, being a grandmaster doesn't always produce wins.
