"and the same goes for Ironman"!!! GEEZE, you are WAY out of touch with the REAL WORLD Trackie! No offense towards your character, but I suggest you take some time to educate yourself in the new order of things. 😲

Maybe if exy had used something besides Winboard he would have gotten a better rating.

This whole thing has become a joke.
On one hand the game mods say xxxx has cheated and is banned.
[presumably they don't just "guess" someone is cheating]
On the other hand his pals say he didn't and shouldn't be banned.
[these people "guess" he didn't cheat cos, after all, he was a nice bloke and they played him.....though they can't remember the exact results.]

For the time being I'll believe the game mods.....I "guess" they know what they are doing.

Actually, some players have done a lot of looking into the games. They've ran them through different engines, and gotten results that might say he wasn't using an engine. A few of the users have done some leg work, and the game mods can't give more info out as to why we still have removed Exy as a player when they've done some of their own engine work on the games.

There just isn't a lot of info that the game mods can give out on the subject, and that also fires up the doubt in users who have taken a lot of time to look through the games. I don't much care for this subject, but I had to point out that the people who doubt the game mods have done some work, and posted reasonable doubts about our desisions.

P-

Must add that the game mods are still all 100% sure in our decision, and noticed No.1 was able to post on this subject well before I was able to finish this post.

I wasn't actually talking about you, I've read your posts where you say you HAVE done some work on it.
The majorty of the people defending these banned players say they played him and "couldn't see anything wrong etc" or similar without having actually done any analysis.

Exy's words to me on the news of his banning are: -

"I have nothing to say myself. I think enough people know that the suggestion that I've been cheating for 2 years is prepostureous. Just get people to check the games ather play chess at a site that is fair then I suggest you vote with your subscription fees.
His rating is so low. If he has been cheating it would have been a crappy program he is using.
