The thread is gone, robbie. Thanks for your help.

If you can demonstrate why this constitutes cheating then please do so, otherwise retract your assertion and while I realise that life is not a joke personally i think many people here take themselves way to seriously. They are not walking lightly on the rice paper.

Sounds like advice to me.

checkmate. Three of us hinted that there was a legal move available but left it to the player to
find it. You decided to show us up by specifically identifying the en passant move required to
keep the game going, and then advised the player to resign and criticized his opponent for not
recognizing a mate in one.
If that isn't cheating, what is it? Poor sportsmanship? Interference? Manipulation? Take your pick.
Originally posted by HandyAndyAs sonhouse pointed out Randogo Gambogo simply stating that chess has an en passant rule is not strictly giving assistance, no more than stating that castling is also a rule as Wolfgang pointed out. That it just happened to be the only move that was playable was merely coincidental and is no more giving assistance than you stating that there is a legal move available.

Resigning was the only logical and rational choice in my opinion given the dynamics of the position, again its difficult to see how anyone can gain an advantage by resigning.
So Randogo Gambogo you have FAILED to demonstrate how anyone could have made use of any of these suggestions so as to gain an advantage and I shall dismiss your ramblings as those of a mad man. I really think you should walk more lightly on the ground.
