I need to play more slow games on a regular basis. Games against Human flesh and not silicon! So, I encourage everybody will a similar correlation between Chess Passion and Chess Skills to contact yours truly to arrange a match series.
My current estimate of the correlation mentioned above is in the neighborhood of -0.83. I do pretty OK solving tactics problems
really slow at Chesstempo but I have never managed to break to 1300-ceiling at ICC.
Again, if you feel like arrange a match series of weekly/biweekly slow chess games against a certified patzer,then make some noise and drop me a note.
