The problem is >that real super strong players are usually confident enough in themselves to not >need such talk. That type of presentation is usually that of insecure people. Even strong players, even GMs and World Champions, often become arrogant or boast about their achievements. Chess players are only human, and they naturally have their flaws. But A. Steen called himself a patzer in his postings more than once. I think he was trying to prove that he can beat Fruit, rather than claiming that he is a super strong player. I believe that he is of master strength, but no IM or GM. This is of course only a guess. Regards, Christos.
