@rickrenegade Apologies Rick! I thought The Professor had posted this. Congrats man!
I was going to go on a long sermon about not letting the rating psych you out, and how worrying about losing points causes bad gameplay...
...but then today I cracked 2000 for the first time ever...
...and I can't lie...
I can't help but care. I've wanted 2000 for a very long time.
I'll take a day to celebrate it, and then I'll FORGET ABOUT IT and just keep trying to find good moves. Who cares about ratings!

I won't be calling 2000 my "high score" because I don't intend for it to be my ceiling.
When the sky is the limit, and you confuse the sky with your ceiling, you'll never see the stars past your own roof.
