98 and counting

Post by hailthorn011 »

So, I've almost reached 100 wins in rated games for my entire career. And while I'm quite pleased with this, it also means (figuring I'll reach 100 this month) that I'm averaging only 9 wins a month compared to 13 losses each month.

I'm not sure if that's good or bad given that I've only ever really played serious games on KGS, but I'm happy to be near 100 finally.

My current Rated Games record: 98-151

It probably just means that you play stronger players more often than weaker ones.
That which can be destroyed by the truth should be.

Well, these days I do tend to play against stronger players more often than not, but it hasn't always been that way.

It sounds ok to me. You probably learn more from your losses.

I can definitely agree with that.
