Sorry to faithnomore. I said that i would leave James clan, but i gave James my word that i would stay with him. And i look at it this way. Chess is Chess. James is young, we all make mistakes...when it comes down to it you were once his age, and im sure you were innocent and niave as well. And look at it this way, if he cheats, thats more points for you when you beat him. So ive decided for the moment that he will have my support. I just think that sometimes people here over think and analyize issues. A teenager cheated on a chess site. Well Ratings are important to me somewhat, but if i know im good, which i know im atleast 1800 here, i will not have a problem lossing unless its to a computer. And to take such issues seriously is almost childs play. Rather the kid should be out on the streets, or doing drugs, or killing someone, NO! he sits at a computer playing chess everyday. He has leadership skills at the age of 16..common...im only 20 and i hve my own successful corporation, and when i was his age all i could think about was chess too...and thats great...and so i encourage him to play, not to be ridiculed left and right. So my words of advice to James. Don't take this so serious, chess is chess...enjoy yourself, but try not take advantage of whats given to you and dont cheat at a chess site because you get nothing out of it. And for my good friend Shaul, remember, chess is chess. You work hard it pays off, your a great leader and youve done alot hear, so dont let the actions of one man upset you unless your looking for the attention. Anyhow..my opinion, if you think the same or otherwise, write it here and ill do my best to deploy some sort of compromise or understanding. Thanks!

I appreciate you trying to help him, but If i would tell you all the curses he wrote to me, you would see that this little kid isnt as inocent as he seems.
I admire your loyalty to his clan though
