Over the past couple of weeks, I have run into a bit of a snair regarding my true identity. While frustrating, I can say it is an understandably true fact of basic human nature to doubt that a person may actually be telling the truth, despite what everyone may think.
I have created this post with great anticipation of the evidence that the site administrators have been looking for. As I have stated before, I am not looking for an apology but rather to reach a certain level of understanding before we go about setting up these accounts for various kids.
Thanks to all those who have been supportive and to those who have met me with negative words no hard feelings.

Originally posted by SeirawanI don't understand the issue - whether you're who you say you are or not - if you want to go ahead and set up some kid's training accounts then go ahead and do so, what's stopping you? I would imagine that six concurrent games is more than enough at a time for training purposes.

Originally posted by collemanmy own mind was made up already. My point is that we should not have to make up our own mind or have to guess when claims like these are made publicly.
Just follow his game with bbarr and make up your own mind whether this guy is a GM or not

I find this all a little embarassing.
Please PM someone if you doubt his/her identity. You don't have to respond to the thread if you don't wish to.
Either this person is who he says he is (and since I don't give two hoots about grand masters, I don't even know who he's supposed to be either) and then this is very embarassing to him and I feel embarassed because we're embarassing him.
Or
This person is not who he is (and since I don't know who he's supposed to be, it doesn't make two hoots of a difference to me) and I'm embarassed that he's embarassing us.
Either way I'm embarassed, so, please....stop embarassing me.

Originally posted by StrayJayHere's my concern:
I checked out the game. GM or not, either way I'm pleased he's among us.
If, in fact, he is not who he says he is, it calls into question his character. It means we might question his request for 100 accounts for poor kids to play chess. It might mean we might question whether or not he really can play at the 2000+ level. It might mean a lot of things which would make me not pleased he's among us.
Now, it might really be him, in which case, that's great! But there are a few people more qualified than I am who are questioning the truth of the circumstance, including Russ. I was simply interested in whether or not a judgment had been rendered.
It's not like he claimed that he was a plumber, and he's not. He claimed to be a specific Grand Master. If it's not true, then that's a pretty big deal in my mind.
