I don't like the prevailing attitudes on the site any more - too much hostility and witch-hunting. Moving to a different site and I've asked Russ to delete my account tomorrow.

Thanks for all the games!

Gee, thanks, if you had left two days ago I would have been spared the embarrasment of you crushing me in the 2nd round of the Athena Grouped Random! BTW I like hostility (good for the blood flow)and the only thing that was bad about "witch hunting" was that there really weren't any witches, but there certainly are people using engines at RHP. Hope you reconsider.

So long. Personally, I don't see it as witch-hunting, but rather long overdue vigilance to hopefully clamp down on a situation which could easily get out of hand. There's no way to catch all cheaters, of course, but at least let's catch the more blatant ones and let them all know that someone's watching. We'll see how it shakes out.

Hmmm, I thought that me finally making it back into the top 1000 again was due to skill and persistance. Looks like it may be because the odd person rated above me keeps leaving. Whoever keeps provoking this, keep it up. πŸ˜€

As for witch hunts and attitude etc, the safest thing to do is never read the forums then you can't get upset about comments. By the way, I'm sure that Danger Mouse is cheating, his rating has increased by at least 20 points in the last 120 days!πŸ™„.

Come on, surely we can all bare a little abuse.

Yea, I think that Danger Mouse is definately cheating. His moves were a perfect match to Chess-Master-Wannabe 1.53 Engine.

Light the torches!!!!!!
Let's get him!!!!!!!!

No witch hunt here. 2 people have been targetted, who were blatantly cheating. Upon word of the introduction of the cheat police 1 of these players owned up, the other continues like nothing happened, but his time will come too.
