____ Nietzsche rocks! I am enjoying the view already.... There's a fair chance I may meet some of my 'opponents' (I'd rather call them partners) in (omg) REAL LIFE! I would like to be 100 pts below the average of my 10 best partners... 1650 here I come..

I'm certainly no strong player. However back 15 years ago or more when I went to chess clubs the strong players I knew recommended at least 2 long games a week. In addition to intensive study I cannot see becoming a grandmaster or even a strong master without playing against strong competition in clubs and tournaments regularly.
