Since you do not accept messages, I thought I would give this a try.

I enjoyed our game!

When you resigned I thought that strange as you had stated that you never resign unless you believe your opponent is cheating with a computer.

I have never used a computer in any way with RHP or any other chess site.!
If you would like to chat, I'm here.

The chances are very slim, that a person who doesn't reacts on personal messages will reply on a forum.

And at our rating it is quite clear that we don't use computers...

Hello Ponderable,
I agree it was a long shot to get vaisefoder to reply.
However even us low raters find it offensive to be accused of cheating
without recourse.
I think vaisefoder uses that as an excuse for losses.

If it is any consolation I think it was Tartakower who said: "Sadly enough I never managed to beat a healthy opponent"

The RHP games I use in the blog confirm that there is very little evidence that computers are at work.

I looked at the game in question Game 15979274 White was winning.



7. Nf7 here would have been a good move. 7...Nf6 8.Qg6 Qe8 9.Nxh8 and Black resigns.

White, possibly worried about Nxd4 hitting c2 played 7.Bb5 and Black managed to
get themselves out of the mess they were in. You may have misread the message.
Perhaps they are meaning they usually only resign when they play v computers,
however in this case they are resigning because it is hopeless to play on.

VaiseFoder may have resigned as you said, seeing the impossible position.
However this is vaisefoder's statement that says otherwise.
"I play to the finish and never resign....unless I think you have been using a computer to help make your moves....there is no point."

It is not a big deal, just wanted vaisefoder to understand there was no cheating involved. On my end at least:-)

Having seen the full reply I'd just ignore it. I knew before I looked at the game
there would be nothing to indicate a computer at play.
In fact Black getting themselves a lost game early on and White botching it
confirms fair play play by both sides and also my belief that computer use here is quite low.
