What the... Player banned??

I was playing two interesting games against a high rated player (2281), I was wondering why I have not recieved a move back from him. Actually, I was thinking "Dang!! My move was sooooo strong that he's really thinking long". Anyway... I went to my "opponents move" list and there was this funny little icon next to his name that said "Player banned-one moment please" Does anyone know what that is all about?? Those were some tough games, do they get lost in limbo? Purgotory? What happens now?

I think that was erice and he was an engine user.

Yes, it was erice. How do they know he was an engine user? His play seemed to have a plan, something engines can't come up with. Atleast, not yet 🙁

Brute force calculation can make it appear as if there is a plan especially when engines are getting better and better at evaluating positions.

RHP has a new system now to catch cheaters. It's so secretive that even the mods (ex-mods) don't know how it works... 😕

But my guess is that it will catch people who think they can use a computer to play their games. 😏

WoW!! I looked at that thread... simply amazing! So much going on! Anyways... thank you everybody for your help.

BTW, tomtom I like your play in the game you have on your profile page but...
1) 9.Bg5 could have gotten you into a positionally bad game.
2) I dont understand why White resigned? What was your plan against 29.Qg4

Please feel free to message me privately since this is getting off topic from this thred.

850 wins in 5 months was a bit of a give away.

It's all a scam.

I've been cheating on every game I play for the last 4 years and nobody's caught me out yet!

Yes, but listening to Abba during your games has caused you to guiltily slip when making your moves.
