Lets hear from these opponents then. Anybody sent them a message to see if they want to contribute to this discussion? I know a way in which we can be sure.
dukeballinhomie: It is my understanding (someone correct me if im wrong) that it is not possible for somebody to be logged in to two accounts on the same machine at the same time. Now, If this person is your friend and you arranged a match with them, then you will have no problem arranging to be online at the same time. Once the green dot is lit next to both of you, it should prove ur not a cheat.
If this subject is going to be discussed further, it should be done in the general forum. There are several threads about this subject here, and it is not appropriate. Again, this kind of banter should be put in the general forum.

Actually, Chrismo shifted this thread here from the 'chess' forum

The thinking behind this was because the thread (or one of its related threads) started with a question along the lines of "What can be done about this?"

Anyone have a prob with this?
RUSS, am i correct in this assumption??🙂¬~
Yes you can, you can have 4 accounts active at the same time, using the 4 different sites. (RHP, TFC, C@W and RHC)
But he's not a cheater, it's ridiculous to think that.
I think we've established that he's not guilty, and is not responsible for the actions of his clanmate. But still, it would be very nice if there was some minimum number of moves that must be played before a resignation can take place. 10 has been mentioned. I would suggest between 6-8 full moves. Up to this point the game must be either be played out or a check-mate must occur.
Sure, in the greater scheme of things, what happened in the games that skeeter highlighted is not that important. But everything that can be done to maintain the integrity of the rating system should be done.
