The only thing that comes close is the 3b line that says:
(b) You will not use chess engines, chess software, chess computers or [b]consult any third party to assist you in any game. Chess books and databases can be consulted during play.
I'd hardly find his post to be consulting a third party, and celtic's post certainly isn't assisting him. How do you conclude "cheating" in this instance?[/b]

I think you mean [b]oversensitive.... 😛
Oversensitive : Easily affected by what is said/done
Oversensible : Too smart? 🙄
BTW I mean by the "and stop whining" part. Im not whining. Im complaining about how rude he was in the message he sent back to me[/b]
However if you get offended because someone points out that you're complaining in forums (and you are indeed doing it) you will get a lot of upsets here in forums,for sure.

.......and I stand by the fact that discussing,posting,crying,complaining or whatever can be done in forums about a game in progress is really bad chess etiquette.
After I posted "wobble your king to h2...."
I immediately realized I should not be commenting on the game.
Whether its in the rules or not.It is bad etiquette.
I should have replied.:-
"We cant discuss a game in progress". and that would have ended this.
I should have known better.

This thread should be deleted immediately.
Yes,there's nothing in the TOS that forbids talking about a game in progress but it's terribly bad chess etiquette ,just like whining in forums about a player who doesn't accept a draw or doesn't resign.
