Secondly, I can't criticize others in the chess world for taking quick draws if I myself do it. Did you really want a draw on move 18? Is that how you roll? } { HanadaNo3: You are obviously a fairly strong player. Maybe a little fighting spirit might give you that added lift you need on your rating? } 60. Be3= { Game Over: You're wrong...that little fighting spirit gave me a huge reduction in my rating. :-D } 1/2-1/2
