Cheating - The Solution

Why not make it mandatory for everyone to declare who they actually really
are in their profiles posting their current OTB grade (if they have one).

Liars and posers would soon be expsed.

That would go a long long way to preventing players from considering using a box
and perhaps stop some of mud slinging.

I cannot see why chess players are so shy. Have they no ego?
I'd be very proud to be the creator of some of the games I've seen on here.

(Hmmm....Perhaps I have just answered my own question).

But be careful how you answer, because if you reply in the negative then
everyone will think you have something to hide.

So if you want to reply then you have to reveal yourself and your OTB grade.

I have just created the unanswerable thread.

Geoff Chandler - last OTB grade 2001 - FIDE grade 2025 (I think..It's something like that).

Hi I'm Heinzkat my RHP grade is 1986

Michael Meadows - ECF grade: 134.

Edit: So do I win a prize?

Slaps forehead and gives up.....😕

OK Heinz, I'll let you off because of your sex.

I can understand that some girls would not like to reveal their identities
so the only soltuion is to make RHP all male only.

Bye Heinz, I know I would get rid of you one day....

......I'll miss you :'(

Alerted for revealing personal information

😵

I wouldn't care if people know who I am. But I think this would be more hassle than it is worth. Perhaps you could set a rating limit at which someone would have to give an identity. Until they do so, lock the account.

I think I say and do things too differently on then I do in real life, where I am a relatively well respected organiser, so I wouldnt want to end up having someone come up to me at a tournament or 4ncl game and start ranting about things I said on the internet.

But two of the biggest cheats on the site, with just one loss apiece, both give their real names in their RHP handle (or whatever it's called).

If fact that's been suggested to me as the reason that one of these hasn't been banned despite massive evidence that he is a cheat - because it would be like saying "<real name> is a cheat" rather than "<witty internet name> is a cheat", which might leave the site owners open to litigation.

But since everyone else in this thread is giving their real name:
I'm Jon D'Souza-Eva. My ECF grade is 179, which I believe converts to 2145 FIDE if the formula (ECF*5 + 1250 = FIDE) is to be believed. Funnily enough this is exactly the same as my RHP rating!
