Subject: 2000
I don't know what personal milestones have to do with with brainking.com message board, but since there were about twnety or thirty posts on the subject, I guess I'll chime in also.

With no disrespect meant towards Eddie Spagetthi, exactly what is there to congratulate about someone playing 3900 games and winning 2000 of them? This is a winning percentage that is barely over 50%, nothing to get veyr excited about. I have noticed that few (if any) of the players who play the high volumes of games manage a good winning percnetage. this is most likely because it is difficult to make good moves or plan the necessary strategies when simply clicking on game screens one after another in a frenzied effort to complete 2000, 3000, 0r 4000 games in less than a year.

As often is the case, I am sure I will get flamed for this post, with poeople telling me I am mean, insulting, or whatever, but I don't care, because I just don't see winning 51 or 52% of one's games as much of an accomplishment. Am I the only one who feels this way?

I think Eddie's endurance should account for something. It is amazing that anyone could even complete that many games in the time he has, let alone win at least better than half of them. The winning percentage isn't that spectacular if taken only on its intrinsic value, but when coupled with the sheer volume of games, it is indeed very remarkable!

I disagree with the assertion that this board is not the place to mention such a significant milestone. Quite the contrary, this board is the perfect place to do just that!

Pioneer54: not according to the description of the board.
And I don't need to be flamed for pointing that out. Thanks.

Well it depending on how you look at it I guess. There are people who like to play and there are people who like to win. Eddie is a person who likes to play. I'm guessing Dmitri is the type of person who likes to win. (I'm in the middle - I like to play and my current goal is to at least get a rating in each type of game here - win or lose .... but I like to win, which is why a major amount of my games are Gammon and boat games - 2 that I believe I'm best at!)

"Board for everybody who is interested in BrainKing.com" -- I myself belive this is a perfect subject for people who are interested in BrainKing.com, which include the players who play here!
