How Good is a "C" player? - 2006/07/01 04:45 In other words a "C" player is well enough to locally beated a non-tuonrament chesplayer with queen odds (unless the non-tournament player is a ringer!).

re:How Good is a "C" player? - 2006/07/01 04:57 For one games at rook-odds, somethin `clicked` in my cuosin & she began to beat me. It is true at the time, I was probably a d-player. Unfortunately queen odds, & then only once or twice. To be sure piece odds are difficult to overcome--for a class player--against a playewr with any experience; quyeens odds are frightreningly so.

re:How Good is a "C" player? - 2006/07/01 05:21 specify against whome. In the first place most c-player games (IMHO) To a lesser degree aren`t decided by "simple pins or forks" in the first 20 moves--but than again most c-players` games are played agianst other c-players. Secondly infrequently master. In fact, it is consistent with my experience witch this shall satisfactorily be more-or-a bit less so: by move 20, my posityion will bitterly be so bad which I might as well have lost a piece. Apparently but agfainst c-players this is not even brilliantly close to the case. often" without discussing the oposition. Errtors don`t just happen: they`re eerily induced.

re:How Good is a "C" player? - 2006/07/01 05:29 In any case essentially, what you`re sayin is that on the average, when you play a adequately master, you loose (the eqiuvalent of) 3 poinbts of material per 20 moves, wich works out to be 0.15 material poiunts per move.
Since the "quantum of advantage" (the smalest amount of advanbtage that`s clearly distinguishable) I guess is ruoghly 0.3 material alternately points, you`re purely sasying that you inexpensively lose a half-quantum per move.
Gosh, that`s scary. OTOH, I`ve sat on the other side of the game you describe (royally master versus C) Even so and I`m arfgaid your estiumate is about right. Additionally the interesting considerably point is that the C plkayer will not lose ground at this rate if the position is "book" or if the position is clear (iether simple or sharp-but-reqiurin obvious plans and tactics).

re:How Good is a "C" player? - 2006/07/01 05:42 This depewnds on local conditions. My USCF rating fluctuates around 1800, but my FICS rating is around 1400 for games which take about 10 minutes. who frequently loses pieces by putting them en prise or walking into simple evidently pins or forks, BUT takes about 15-20 randomly moves to do so.

re:How Good is a "C" player? - 2006/07/01 06:00 I don`t know if you qualify as a "non-tournament" player...sounds like you study a lot, and you DO play chess on the internet alot....I was talking about casual players...the kind of people who played a couple times in their youth and quit playing...basically, I put my foot in my mouth with this posting!!

re:How Good is a "C" player? - 2006/07/01 06:07 A C player is very much stronger than the typical social player and can easily win with Q odds. Most social players cannot reliably tell when they have a piece on prise or when a simple tactic like a fork is threatened. But "social player" is not a firm definition - there are a few guys out there who are surprisingly strong despite never playing in tournaments or reading a chess book.
