Just trying to get a mental picture here 😀
I would hope for a short animation of his 20+ tourney trophys being dumped into a wood shredder.

Thinking about it, it must make the game incredibly boring. Opponent makes a move, feed that into an engine and then make that move. Doing that for hundreds of games!

They must lead a very unexciting life.

I had to laugh when liteswordatlitespeed thanked someone who was talking to SamuraiWarrior as though it was him being spoken to. [seems it was him] 😉😉😉

Got a couple of games against him too (well, used to).
I was always a couple of years ahead of my time. 😉

Jeez, thats almost 40 titles gone between Gaura and Meman.

always seems to be a flurry of cheaters caught at once, this time three.

cant believe that fool was winking bahahahaha

I read those other threads, cant believe ppl called Gaura a cheat so long ago so blatantly and he is just now being banned.

With so many games played, why would it take so long to bust him?

This is my first post on the board. I have only subscribed for a short time, but I have been around here for a little while (off and on).

I am curious. It appears that several people were banned recently:

GaurvV (cheating - using a machine to play)
Stroubidal (cheating - the same reason), and
Samarai Warrior/Liteswordlitespeed (who appears to be the same person)

From what has been mentioned in this thread, it appears that some players were banned a while ago for cheating in a similar manner(Meman).

How often does this happen? Is it merely coincidence that three people (four accounts) were recently banned? Is this something I should keep on the lookout for?

Start by having a look at the page:

It answers your frequency question for starters. I guess the admins do these things in batches.... Friday afternoon.... let's do something FUN! 😵

When a subscriber is banned, we send them an email notifying them of the reasons. They are unable to log into the site. We do not resign all their games immediately and so they have an opportunity to put their case if they have one.

Thank you, Irax.

That page was very helpful and does answer my questions.

It is a sad comment that so many people would want to cheat. As if your score in a chess site makes you a better person.

Hmm. A cheater like the rest. I feel so unsatisfied. There are too many cheaters here.

EDIT: Now how about catching the persons using a computer to make one, three or five moves during a game? Is that even possible? I hate playing 30-40 moves with mistakes both ways and then suddenly meet an endgame master who make no mistakes and can foresee my every advance/move (no name mentioned since we can all have moments of genious).
