Adam,

Do you think if I wanted people to know my name here that I would have published it in my profile???????

Politicalmusic

Here is one of these people.  lol.  He was clever enough not to put the real rating of either him or his opponent.  I'm going to bold my suspects... lol

Nice detective work, you must be KGB trained.

PersonalTrainer

I think it's Michael Zaghi because his profile says 3/5.

Politicalmusic

Nah... courtesy of the George Bush Era Wiretapping lol

Chess_Smooth

Ya, so for my next game I don't think I'll tell you guys my opponents rating anymore.  I feel so exposed all of a sudden.

Politicalmusic

  Good job Mike (or Noel).  lol

Yeah... and I see from your homepage you went 3 out of 5.

Tricklev

In-Training-Learning if you report this thread you can probably get it removed. There are valid reasons for not wanting you'r proper named exposed on the internet, and I suspect the admins that rule this forum would remove the thread if you asked them for it.

Politicalmusic

Calm down.  It's not that deep.

knowthequeen

The kid seems to know the petrov's deffense pretty well for his age. You should of kicked the knight with the d pawn in the opening, stopping him from setting up a post on the e4 which later on gave him space.

Politicalmusic

Yeah he knows it well to a fault.  Kh8 made no sense... but that must be played of white plays c4 instead of c3.
