Sorry if im upsetting anyone on this thread, but i just dont get how anyone can put any thought process into a game of chess, when your knocking out 15,000 moves a month. Ive been on RHP for nearly two years, and i still have not reached 15,000. Is there anyone out there in agreement.
Having hundreds of games must effect their concentration to some extent, certainly.
But I know from first hand experience that Zorro is a decent player, I've had some good scraps with him (strangely i've never played Marko).
These guys will just be blitzing, spending no more than 20 seconds per move... they are choosing not to put a lot of thought into their games.
Perhaps if they played <50 games at a time, and spent longer per move, their ratings would possibly increase by up to anywhere around 100-200 points.
... But all that aside, they have a race on!
My money's on the Fox 😀
