Originally posted by Fat LadyJust because someone has some good results does not mean they are cheating during a game by using an engine to choose their moves. I have repeatedly denied this charge before and I resent you calling me a liar on here. Certainly you don't have to play me, if you think I play too good, but there is no need for anyone on here to continually defame me like that.
I don't believe that most engine users on this site are young. Some of the most prominent, for example Weyerstrass, Sea Devil and RJHinds, have been at least fifty years old.

RJHinds, you are a LIAR.
Originally posted by hedonistI don't recall saying that. I remember someone suggesting that I just play my games and stop posting in the Chess Forum and I did do that for awhile. But I don't recall that I said I would stop posting forever in the Chess Forum. Can you direct me to were I said that please. If you can show me, then I will make a note of it so I do not forget and post here again.

It has been suggested to me that I stop posting on this forum. I now think that is a good idea. SO THIS IS MY LAST POST ON THE CHESS FORUM.
No hard feelings on my part. Good luck to all and may the Lord bless you all.

Originally posted by Proper KnobI stand corrected. I did not remember it that way. I am indeed a liar and in need of forgiveness. I will make a note of that and will discontinue my posts on the Chess Forum. Thank you. Are you willing to forgive me?

Originally posted by RJHindsYou don't need my forgiveness. Before you go though, see it as one last chance to come clean about your 'chess prowess'.

The RHP owners used to try to keep the cheats out, but there were too many of them and when it became clear that some of the long established players were cheats they seemed to wash their hands of it all and now no-one is banned for cheating. You've always got to remember that RHP is a business, not a charity, and it's not surprising that they would rather have a cheating player who subscribes than a fair player who doesn't.
Bottom line is - if you're below ~2000 on this site, don't worry too much about cheats as you're unlikely to meet many. Above 2000 - as often as not you'll find yourself playing yet another game against Houdini or Fritz. If this bothers you then stick to real-time sites (I like playchess.com) and short time controls or, better still, join a real chess club / enter real tournaments.
Sometimes RJ used to bring me to the point of utter despair but I think
now most us just tolerate him and sometimes...sometimes....he kicks off an
interesting chess debate.
I don't want him to stop posting here or go.
He posts practically everyday (usually hounding me 😉 ) but he is a
character and fellow chess player (please don't forget that.)
This forum is part of his life, and indeed mine......ours....?
It will be a bit poorer without him.
