Fannie Mae-No Politics (FNMA)

[chessmaster315]

I have met people before that claim they are "never wrong". This just is not true.
If you were, indeed, "never wrong", then you would not only be a billionaire, but you would be wealthier than Buffet who at least admits it when HE is wrong.

If you want people to believe what you say, you are better to understate your position rather than exaggerate it. A little humility goes a long way.

We have had people on this board say they were "never wrong" before. It did not take long, and someone refuted this, reposting his prior posts that were shown to be inaccurate.

I used to play chess, and, sometimes my opponenet said he had never been beaten (before). Of course there are 3 possibilities, here.
1. They never played anyone good, just friends and family who were worse.
2. They were not being honest.
3. A combination of the above.

Bobby Fisher was probably the best chessmaster ever. He wrote a book on his memorable losses. Yes, he lost, and more than once. I dont care how good you are, you can be beaten.
Whenever my opponent stated he had never been beaten, I said to myself. "Well, sit down there, son, and I will show you how that is done." Personally, I have never lost to a person who alleged to me that he had never been beaten, and I have played many. It usually meant an easy game, because I have tournament experience and people with no experience almost never have a chance against a Veteran tournament pro. WE call it "feeding" the master with the guppies. (Inexperienced chess players)
