Originally posted by gambit3Well, sorry, but when you specifically refer to my post I take it to mean you thought that I was wondering what the reason for the rule was. If your intent is simply to add something to what I've already said, you should make that clear, no?
??? Maybe because the rules of the game were mentioned.

Yes I know. That is why I called it a stupid blunder. Would you believe I captured inpassing and was accused of hacking the game once? The players was rated about 2000. Hard to believe a high rated player did not know about that rule.
My bogey player has to be cheshire cat, fastest mover ever to grace corresspondence site and quite possibly the most under 'rated' player i've ever played.

My biggest bogie is myself. Somtime I play some of the stupidest blunders. I lost a tournament game when I counted on a enpassing capture. My pawn was on f6. When g5 was played the sever would not let me capture it. I wonder why? I lost my Bishop and the game was lost.
Originally posted by gambit3That's why I use the ICC. They have a way of detecting those using computers to cheat. I believe they have the best track record regarding this.
MSN. I would not play there if i was you. The players are abusive and harassing. Pluss MSN did not enforce standard chess rules as of the last time I played there. I have not played there in about five years. Over the board internet chess games are full of cheaters and hackers.
Vikthor and the Cat. I'll have to go look, but I don't think I've beaten Cheshire so it must be 0:12 by now. Vikthor, if I pay attention I beat him, but he has a tendency to sneak up on me. Prefect is a frustrating opponent but I wouldn't call him bogey because he is by far a better player than I. Still frustrates the heck out of me though.
