chess soap opera... would that sell on tv?

Before we go any further, Squelchbelch = Zygalski. And his match-up methodology, same as used by the Mods, has been widely debated, openly discussed, criticised, disputed, pulled to pieces and scoffed at - and still busts cheats convincingly.

As Zygalski says, the problem lies not in the technology, nor in the volunteer efforts of the Mods but - and this ...[text shortened]... up even the most blatant cheats. And they don't come more blatant than the top group on Page 1
in the willingness of the Site Admin (ie the owners) to implement the recommendations of the Mods


You mean the unwillingness?

thanks for clarifying, though this doesnt make the situation any nicer. i really hope this is not the start of the end - many people may not subscribe or stop subscription, if they feel engine users can hop along here, even if discovered...

edit: oh, starting to collect my first 'dislikes'. i better shut up...

Its because they are on your ignore list........don't sweat it.


I support public shamings and bannings.


The owners of the site probably conducted an experiment. They concluded that it was fiscally more sound for them not to ban cheating. If they pay, they can play, or at least look at their advertisments (non-subs). Its a shame they sacrificed money for integrity.

RHCheaters :'(

P.S. Is it possible NOW to bring Ironman31 back? I'd like to learn Dutch defence. He played it every time against d4 or c4.


So does this mean that because I pay my subscription partly based on the premise that I am playing humans am I now due a refund ? If I wanted to play a computer I could have done so at home for free. Does the fact that the TOS suggests computer use is not allowed constitute false advertising ?

it was my chess game not my chest game lol


You'l never stop cheats because the game isn't face to face. Its just a shame that people do because in the end they end up with less opponents who are bitter about the experience eh!? :-(
