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.
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:

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 😉).

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.
