Borislav Ivanov agreed to take part in a test conducted by the Bulgarian Chess Federation to prove his newly-acquired skill.
Guess what? He was a NO-SHOW.
Hate to say it (okay I don't, I love to say it). I TOLD YOU SO!

Yeah, you told us what most of the chess world already believes. You deserve a hand clap.
What this article failed to mention, was what specific methods they were going to use in order to for Borislav to "clear his name". That would've been interesting.
I said this before, but Borislav should've started out slowly. He quite possibly would've never been caught, if he didn't get so greedy for wins.

I don't expect or want a hand clap for that either because this is directed at you and 'most of the chess world' can figure it out on their own. 😉
Originally posted by woodypusherOoh ooh! Do a third response about how you don't expect anything nor care. 😕

Originally posted by SwissGambitOkay, since you need a 'third response' to fully understand that I didn't post that for hand claps, here it is:

I don't care about hand claps (or Ooh ooh!, "Free Rating Points!!!"😉 😉 I like to earn them...unlike Ivanov and your hero, R J Hinds
Understand now?
This post was about Borislov Ivanov's cheating. Thank you though for making it about me. I'm flattered.
Interesting that vivify's main concern (after applauding me) was how Ivanov should've cheated to get away with it. 🙂

Originally posted by woodypusherI never claimed that Ivanov was not cheating. In fact, I said that it looked like he was, however, looks do not prove he was.

Greenpawn34 was not claiming Ivanov was not cheating either, but only that it had not been proved beyond a reasonable doubt. My argument against that was this should fall within the civil cases in which only the preponderance of the evidence should be enough to determine guilt, since we do not intend to have him jailed or imprisoned.
It appears that the evidence has reached that level at present and that is probably why he lost his lawsuit against the Bulgarian Chess organization, I believe it was.

Originally posted by woodypusherWell of course. It would be stupid to reveal the methods before the test; but it's now AFTER the fact, since article said that the BCF considers the case "closed". This being the case, they have nothing to lose by revealing what methods they were going to use. It's unlikely they will ever use this test again, since this case is "one-of-a-kind", and it's "expensive" to put together in the first place.

Originally posted by vivifyYes of course it is now after the test. But Ivanov could claim something came up that prevented him from going. In that case, if they exposed the methods, he can then still prepare.

Sorry, but this thread was clearly, by the title, reserved as the attention whore room.
The normal rooms are that way ------->
Speaking of "Attention whore(s)", a visit to the open invites will show one.
Hint: It's the guy who named all his games "Free Rating Points!!!..."
That's insulting to anyone who accepts those games. It implies they want to cheat, or that you're throwing your games (sandbagging?). As a former tournament director for my club, you would have been banned from playing, by me and the USCF.
