Originally posted by cludiThe trouble is nothing is done unless the accusations are made public. In this case, within a day of erice1's thread about trying to join a real chess club he was gone. I believe this is because he became high profile due to all the public ridicule and none too subtle cheating accusations he received on that thread.
Public accusations are not allowed.
Whether the accusations prove to be right or wrong doesn't really matter.
Originally posted by Fat LadyI can tell you that you're dead wrong here. erice1 was investigated long time ago and the "chess club thread" was therefore not part of the evidence against him.

There's another, not quite so blatant ...[text shortened]... r. He's still here, beating honest players, winning tournaments and wasting everyone's time.
Originally posted by Red NightI'm not surprised. The guy was struggling with 1400s a few months ago and played some games showing very little understanding. Then, in the next five months, he went to almost 2300. If ih8sens seemed impressive, this totally beats it.

So if he has been banned then I want my january hardcore tournament where I came second to him!!! I even got two draws - that was quite pleasing to know I was up against a strong engine and was able to hold it.
