lol I should have said, "at the end of the game I had only three moves then I would have mate." Meaning I had mate after playing for a while. I did not have mate in three moves from the start. People still try the Scholars Mate which you win in just a few moves but So far I have only fell for it once early on when I started playing.

How do you mate in 3 position?

How to Checkmate in 3 Moves in Chess: 7 Steps (with Pictures)
To checkmate in 3 moves in chess, start by moving your queen pawn to d3. Then, move your king pawn forward to e4, which will free up your queen. Finally, move your queen on the diagonal to h5, where you will have your opponent's king checkmated without having captured a single ...[text shortened]... e.

Some call it a fools mate. 🙂

that isn't the Scholars Mate is it?

I believe VESPIN would not test it out to begin with. Or were you trying to make a joke? 🙂 😛

-VR

Your spot on! No way I'm testing anything. lol

@suzianne said
Occaisionally, a player will request his account be removed, or a name change (this is rare), and the old name will get the same "Removed" treatment.

See Thread 194373

Thank you Suzianne!! Great example. I don't like it when I play someone several games and then that happens. Thank you for responding.

I would not advise you to test just exactly how many ToS provisions one would have to breach in order to achieve 'strike-through Removed' status.





😆

lol No not me. I do all I can to be perfect with all the rules in the TOS. And The admins and Russ have been nice and all very good to me. I just stay in my lane. 🙂

@very-rusty said
@moonbus

Agreed, most likely the reason was an infraction of TOS Guidelines.

Thank you Rusty. It had to be bad. I was at the end of the third game with him next thing I know, his name was gone, and in it's place was the word "Removed" with a line through it. It had to be bad and as you and moonbus said, "against the TOS rules".

Thank you Rusty. 🙂

@moonbus said
@VESPIN

Banned player. The reasons need not concern us, but will generally be due to infractions of ToS.

Yeah it was weird, it just said "Removed" with a line through it. Thank you. I appreciate the feedback Moonbus. 🙂

I had played a player twice I think and was in my third game. I had been waiting on it because I actually had the game won in three moves. The player had a line though where his screen name was. The line goes through the word "Removed". Does anyone know why someone is "Removed". He had no subscription.


Standard member Removed It's not showing the line through the word Removed. They was around a while. I forget his screen name they took that out to.

@lstcyr
You wanted the stats. I will post them. I told you the rules at which I will count wins and losses. Other than this, I have nothing to say. When this is done, So are we. So no worries.

@lstcyr said
Finally, we are now at the Donald part where we ignore the original conversation, spout a bunch of inanities and try to completely change the subject. Try minding your own business and none of this would have involved you. Now, when I think of you, I think of the lyrics from “The Last Supper” in Jesus Christ Superstar where Judas calls Jesus “you sad pathetic man”. Go away and ...[text shortened]... mes that you said you’d do a year ago.

Didn’t think so. Your statements are falsehoods. Prove it.

I am still counting the games. My God we played a lot. Tell me if you agree with this because I remember everything that happened. Including giving you my club because I know you would expand and do a better job than me at that point.

This is how I count our games. You have to remember the games I never finished but was clearly winning, as in I had a queen and both rooks and you had one rook. Something to that effect. And it goes the other way as well. Games where I let it go and you were winning and won. That was your win.

There are games where I did not want to hurt your rating as your friend, and I would offer draws, or just resign even though I had it won.

There are tons of games where I resigned, timed out, and just simply quit because like said, I did not want to hurt your rating. I never cared about my rating except one time and I reached 1400 and then lost a ton of games due to time outs. Look at my timeouts Larry. I think I have the record for the most.

So how I am counting the games.

1. I go into every game and see if I was winning clearly but resigned or quit due to health. I'm talking where I was really up. The system says I lost, I count that as a win as you only had a king and a rook and in some cases just pawns and I had my major pieces. I count that as a win for me.

2. If I see a game where I resigned or timed out and you were clearly winning that is a win for you. It goes both ways.

That is how I am counting the wins and losses. If I have a queen and two rooks and you have a rook , sorry but you are not winning that game. And no way I would win against you if it was reversed.

You are just looking at the systems count.

I am going into every single game to see who was clearly winning. If I can't decide because it was even, or in some cases I did not move at all, that is not a win for you.

You are welcome to go into every game like I am to see if i am lying. My final count will reflect the real number. Why would you even want to claim a win where I did not move at all. I would never count that as win.

A win is who was clearly winning, and it has to be clear, and where you forced me into checkmate. I do one page a day. Half way through.

I count real wins. If you come out ahead I will post that. I don't want a win I did not earn Larry. But I am counting it the right way. Give me a week and I'll have the total.

@lstcyr said
Michael. You sad, sad person.

Slowly, just for you.

Rusty made the claim first without any proof. I can’t prove him wrong because he has not shown the analysis to back up his claim. All I have been asking him to do is show his work so all of us can see how he came to his conclusion. I suspect he just eyeballed it and is making a guess but without his analysis we can’t t ...[text shortened]... ted or in a relationship) and encourage Rusty to show us the data and analysis supporting his claim.

Last time. Let me help Larry. The proof is if you are not lazy, is in every leader and the way they set up matches, how many matches, and specifically how many matches with specific clans. Are they using the same clans over and over and giving them 10 to 20 points per match and do the matches finish fast. Look at every player in the clan system and get to know how good they are and this is with each player being 100 to 200 points to high and others to low. You have to know both.

This is just the start of learning of what is going on. It took me years. I did the work myself. However, I leaned on players on my team, Rusty being the most as I consider him a co captain because he knows more than most and certainly more than me.

Do your homework and maybe you might get some respect. You have said nothing that helps anyone nor are you correct about anything.

No leader who leads his or her team into the negative points almost every season has no intelligent thoughts on anything to do with chess or the clan system.

So was that slow enough for you? Rusty has nothing to prove. He is respected by all that matter. That can not be the same for you.

You are the worse kind of person for the clan system, an ignorant person who runs his mouth.

Do the work, learn, and maybe in several years you might have a thought worth listening to. I highly doubt it though.

Enjoy feeding those points. You are not the answer, you are the problem.

@lstcyr said
@VESPIN
How’s the research and analysis of our matches to support your absurd claim coming along. It’s been almost a year now. It can’t be that many matches, can it? Or does the data not support your falsehood?

Doing it the right way, not using system, half way point I am ahead by 15 games. But half way stilll to go.

Why are you not better after all the games you play?You and I were in a tournament recently, you got zero points, and I just missed moving through by 3 points and there were four of us. Once again showing you can't play.

Focus on your clan team because as of now you have no voice, and are not respected.

@lstcyr said
What a hunk of horse manure. MYOB

Rusty is my business. Second, prove your work!!! Show Stats that prove what you say is true. You keep saying he is wrong, show in stats, clans, leaders, players, show all your work and show how he is wrong. Rusty has already proven everything he has said over the last 15 years and over 10 championships. Most of your years have been in the negative.

I feel badly for your players. My Lord you are bad.

@lstcyr said
Hey, Michael, mind your own business. VeryRusty is trying to convince me of his falsehoods so I’m asking him to show the analysis, which he never did.

Just like I challenged you almost a year ago to show the analysis that you said you were doing about or matches together. You never did that either.

Both of you are all talk and no analysis. You should be prime recruits for the Trump campaign.

He doesn't have to. See all your red thumbs? Nobody agrees with you and you are making yourself look really bad. Rusty has put facts in there, and done all the work. You are one of those people who will never get it, you are lazy and won't do any of the work which is why you have been so horrible in the ratings all these years, and you have nothing to say except "Rusty give me facts." He has done that. He has proven himself to the owner and admins and has the respect of the leaders.

Again, what have you done to contribute to the clan system, what idea's, who have you helped???? Other than feeding clans points over and over again.

You have nothing to say because you don't understand how any of this works. You will never change and you are happy being what you are, a horrible leader who understand nothing about the clan system.

I'm done with you for now. You are to ignorant to discuss this with. Do your homework like I did for years to get to where my team is now.

The only person who has to prove themselves and give facts is you. Only you.

Have a nice day!

@lstcyr said
@Very-Rusty Next step, resort to insults to avoid addressing the fact that YOU can NOT prove what you are saying. Show your analysis. Show something that indicates that you actually did ANY analysis except a cursory look at the data. You CAN’T, can you? Didn’t think so.

I’m guessing what’s next is the “I give up responding to him because he doesn’t agree with me tactic.

You are the one who needs the analysis not Rusty. The good leaders talk to each other and know what he is saying is true. And they understand it something you know nothing about. Here is a thought.... How about as the worse leader, you try to get better, and you go into all the clans on the first page and learn something. Then go through all the clans as I have for years, so you can see the trends, see the horrible matches that are being made, who is giving away points to certain teams which is pointing towards collusion in many leaders minds.

You are in that mix my friend. You should be doing your homework and who your helping over and over and over again. I spread my matches out and make it fair for all that play us. The team in first place does not do that. You don't do that.

Rusty has proven himself in over 15 years he has been here. Championships and ideas for the owner and admins.

What have you contributed to this site lstcyr??????? Can you name one idea that anyone listened to? You have to do the work, not Rusty. Rusty has done the work which is why he can talk about it intelligently. You just repeat yourself. I know the people in your clan, I sent many of them to you, they are good people. They don't know what you are or how bad you are at this. Do your homework then people will listen, maybe.
