Anyone rated above 2000 for 50 or more games is obviously a cheat.

as we all know, jimster is a program user, and he was banned.
but does it make sense to you when a program loses? I mean think about it, only World Chess Champs can stand a chance against the program.
here are a few examples of people sandbagging a program:
Game 2250837
Game 2288180

I hope you people can get the message

That'll be another ex-metallica member....

Having said that, I wouldn't know if they were legit or not. I played GOGITOTX in the 2006 tourney and found him to be chatty and and nice - I had no reason to suspect him. However, I would be slaughtered by anyone above 1800 anyway so what do I know....

I am confused. Why wasn't this game a draw? Granted, a King standing alone against two bishops and a king seems hopeless, but I don't see how you could mate with two bishops and a king. Stalemate, yes, but how would you ever force the opposing king into the corner? Could someone explain it to me? Thanks.
