Then you don't understand. Why do you keep jumping to this conclusion?

I had no idea prior -- I had an idea after we looked at the error.
The life master title came over a nearly 20 year period, Vince. Do you
really think I was keeping count of the games?

Yes, I could.

Yes, I can.

Without including the larger story, it would be inappropriate.

Didn't say it was.

Often, no.

Generally, no, they often wouldn't even record names.

No, see above.

Since it didn't exist then, no.

No, it wasn't.
Vince, take the time to coach a team of this caliber. It's a full time job.
I even have to have other people organize the travel arrangements. I
delegate things to the people who can do the job better than I can. USCF
does ratings. I let them.
