So how did you manage to instantly get a 2300 rating when it took me 4 years of hard work? I had to climb from 1800p all the way up, but your records show you were just 'assigned' a 2300 rating. That's one of the things that angers me the most about ICCF is the inconsistent handling of ratings for new players.

I acquired a 2300 rating by scoring 7.5/11 (actually 8.5/12) in the 15th USCCC Preliminaries and getting a subsequent draw.

Because the ICCF voided my 2000 win over Kremen and canceled my games vs. Tiba, it took me 11 1/2 years to reach 2300.
