Looks like he was suddenly granted magical skills overnight, then forgot them again, then got them for even longer. It's pretty obvious by looking where he was cheating.

Look at his list of games, pages 4 and 5. He's rated around a 1000 on July 28 and then wins HIS NEXT 30 GAMES IN A ROW!!!

The proof is shared with the site, you merely need to spend 8 or 9 months analysing public games. Having said that I would like some more of the evidence given as well, since they have a dedicated page a short summary of why the player was believed to have cheated would not be unreasonable.

I can see how it really would be easier the further down you ...[text shortened]... inted by this, but the disappointment should be aimed at those who have failed our expectations.

I am pretty sure I can find lots of players like that.

Go ahead and find me "a lot of players" who were bumbling around at a low rating and, all of a sudden, won 47 out of 48 games. If you do find them, I suggest you report them to the Game Mods immediately as they are cheats.

And why couldn't a player use an engine to play 200 games at a time?? It's quicker than doing your own thinking and analysis.

I don't think its quicker I took about 10 seconds or less to move , sometimes more all depending on the position but when I play harder players than me (2000+ players) I put my all my energy.

It make sense what u are telling me but if u take 10 seconds to move in a commercial engine, after that, u would need to reset the board, look up the games, the positions, and that would it take longer!!

The proof is in the pudding. I still don't know what that means, but I just wanted to say it.

I want to know why SirUlrich post eas deleted.
And why he was banned from the forums.

I 'd like to have a serious, complete and coherent answer.
