Hey everybody, want to see something pathetic? Check out the games of 'gerbear'. For an illustration of how poorly he actually plays chess, check out his one loss:

Apparently he prefers to play with himself.

I think you are right. All his/her wins are resignations after 3 or 4 moves!

The link you provided shows a game that he won in 11 moves. Did you give the wrong gameid, or are you trying to show us a game that, you think, he was playing as both players?

CORRECTION:
I took a look at his rating graph and its obvious where his loss is. I clicked view game and I came up with the same game😲. For some reason my colours for white/black players are inversed. Bbarr (of course) is right about 'gerbear' being a cheat look at the rest of the games. Is anyone else experiencing problems with the players names not corresponding with their colours?

That is weird. I rechecked and found the game he actually lost:

http://www.redhotpawn.com/core/viewhistory.php?gameid=118497

Somthing seems off with the graphing function, or we're both just being dense. Regardless, this guy is definitely a fig and has been doing this for months. If one of the moderators could inform Russ, it would be appreciated (by Fievel especially πŸ˜‰).

The gameid is now correct for me too. I've had problems with the graphing function before so I doubt the fault is of human error.

No need to check the games. Just look at the numbers. 1151 moves to win 144 games that's 8 moves a game. (and that's ignoring the lost games.

Bennet, you don't have to type in the whole thing, just the game ID. On second thought maybe you do. Just tried that game ID and it doesn't work.

I have an idea but lets see how others think of this. Why not reserve ALL top lists for paying pawnstars only?

Jeez, all those times you'd think his opponents would have caught on to Scholar's mate! I suppose some people never learn...

To be fair, it looks like he has a handful of legitimate victories (maybe 3 or 4) but the level of play certainly would not indicate a 1755 ranked player.

Why not be more creative in your games? If you're going to fake them, then reenact famous GM games, or something more entertaining. Who knows, he might actually learn something in the process. Though it's doubtful.
