What's there to read? The position wasn't resignable and I don't believe that out of 2000 games he all of a sudden decided to resign one. An engine looking down a perfectly played line might see a serious disadvantage, but a player would prefer for his opponent to actually at least gain some material before resigning. No mate threats, even material and a POSSIBILITY of losing the exchange and he resigned?? Give me a break!

Originally posted by fierytormentIt's not even mathematically possible to use more than half of a 14 day timebank in 10 days unless you pack all your moves into one or two days. He was one of top 200 active players in the month of August and that was typical. Stop the BS.
In both games I believe he used over half of his timebank, but I'm positive on the 70 move one.

Originally posted by no1marauderSteady on, No1, he wasn't "my hero", I've never, ever, claimed he was. What I want to know is why a FIDE ref is taking the risk of ruining his reputation by cheating to the degree you suggest on a very public website?

I'd also like to know whether the Game Mods / Admins gave him a chance to defend himself or if they already have some proof that either he isn't who he appears to be, or that Russ' new code has detected engine activity in his profile?
