This game was featured in The Times chess column this week. If you're not already familiar with it, you might enjoy it - I thought it was superb. The annotations are as published by Ray Keene.

Lol, you were treated like a rock star in a small town someplace. Great evidence. Guess what.. They just wanted your cash and buisness and laughed at you when you left. Open your eyes, the evidence is all right here if you read a bit. Everyone thinks we're all FAT, carry guns, wear cowboy hats, eat French fries from a holster leave our SUV's running over night.

Don't ask me for evidenc, ask the world community that is RHP.

FACT!~

So many games and moves in this month would reveal a cheater. The problem is that technically speaking it is not possible to do so many moves using software. Also, it is not possible in my opinion a human play so fast. Possible solution? Have many people play concurrently with the same nickname. Your thought ?


What a heap of crap. Why would someone cheat to retain a low rating?

As for moves, this is easily achievable. With close to 1,000 games and a low rating you will find that the opponents will be of a similar standard. Generally speaking the moves are much quicker.

Also the person may be retired, unemployed etc allowing them access 10-12 hours per day

3 moves per minutes = 60 per hour = 600 for a 10 hour day = 1800 moves in 3 days

Bump that to 6 moves per minutes and you jump to 3,600 moves over 3 days

Now deal with it.


I think you left out part of your post- it should read "most people, not just Syrians or something have a real problem with America when it comes to getting a visa or earning citizenship."

I have no proof other than what I know about immigration and the anecdotal opinions of all the people I work with who are originally from other countries (11 different countries that I can think of off hand), but I feel pretty confident that if all the people in the world were given the opportunity to start over in another country, the US population would swell far far beyond its current level, and some countries would be practically depopulated.

I see far too much evidence to the contrary at work to buy into all the "everybody hates the US" mantra that some media types love repeating.

There will always be those who have a stereotype of a culture and who won't be bashful about sharing their opinions, but any time we start talking about aggregates that include a number as large as the population of the earth, we probably left accuracy and relevance on the train station platform a few stops back.

I've found the first loss from actual play.
(so far...there might be one sooner I've yet to see.)

Sadly it was lost by someone who posted in this thread.
The poor sould has actually lost two games already.
(27 moves in one game. The lad does not hang about.)

The time of the loss was: Feb 01 2012 23:39 can anyone find one sooner?
I hope so.


This one?

is it possible create a class action?


Maybe you should take a look at some of your fellow clan members if you want to look for dodgy players.

Pick one of your higher rated players and see how much they have "improved" over the years.

I smell more crap within your Clan ranks than I do with Sagator who just plays a lot of chess.

Maybe a Class Action should be created against the Italian Job!
