ih8sens banned 3(b)

If they are very good in blitz it follows that they are good at slow chess too...I agree that if they were bad at blitz than it wouldn't mean anything but how many people do you know that can play accurate blitz and can't play accurate slow chess?

When you say Kaworukun, are you referring to his ninth account or his tenth?

well I think jusuh is something like 2200 at blitz and 1600 here. I remember falco lombardi did very well at blitz too, 1900 or 2000 I think, and he's 1500 here. I'm sure there are others... blitz & CC are just a completely different games.

jusuh is underrated here so doesn't count...I have never heard of falco lombardi so I can't say whether or not that is a good example...but if good blitzers don't do well in slow chess its most likely because they move like its a blitz game...if they took a little more time on their moves they would probably play better.

excuses.

I agree with tomtom.

But if people aren't prepared to work at the same level as everybody else does in CC, of course they are going to be left behind. I think you'll find an awful lot of people are under-rated but don't complain. Fair does to them.

From ih8sens on Chess.com 25th Jan - interesting...

>>the only chess site I've ever played on nearly as quick would maybe be RHP and I have a bone to pick with them after they banned me unfairly.. the moderation there is rediculous..

I just checked him out there. In his posts he seems to recommend checking things in Fritz an awful lot.

Only afterwards I'm sure Dragon. Dutch Defense is over there too, as well as a few other familiar names. Nice to see Dutch around again.

Did I miss it, or did somebody post a copy of (or link to) Cludi's earlier explanatory policy post in the general forum? Might have saved everyone a spot of bother if they had. Here's an excerpt:

How do we know if a player is cheating?

The short answer is: A player is cheating if he moves like a computer and not like a human. You may think that it is difficult to spot the difference between strong human play and engine play. It's not. If you carefully analyze game after game the difference stands out like chalk and cheese, as Gatecrasher once put it. We apply a statistical methodology over many, many games that can often highlight patterns of engine abuse that are less than obvious. It's important to add here, that opening book moves are not analyzed at all.


How can we be sure never to ban innocent players?

All players are given the benefit of the doubt. All the players banned for 3(b) on this site have scored significantly higher engine matchups than both current OTB GMs/IMs and pre-computer era CC GMs/IMs. If the best players in the world past and present can come up clean, there is no legitimate reason why some of the players at RHP can't.


Do players get banned based on a single or a few move(s)?

No player was ever banned on the basis of a single or a few moves only, although single moves might have been part of the evidence against them. All players are analyzed until there's no doubt about their guilt. We apply a statistical methodology over many, many games that can often highlight patterns of engine abuse that are less than obvious.

Why he doesn't figure on the removed player's list? Maybe because he has been removed for 3(d) {'d' of dumb}?

Bad way of make the forgetting & silence, Big Brother..
