If you have a look at his full profile he has actually lost 74 games out of a total of 259. The status thing is something players write themselves. I have occasionally put my status down as "Very drunk, please ignore all challenges".
W = 18
D = 5
L = 1
And most were against 1700-2100's

Originally posted by youwillfallI don't know how strong 1900 at chess.com is, but looking at his profile here, it seems reasonable to assume he started cheating at 1650. I doubt he is any better now.
he stated that he was ovverrated too so i dont see him cheating to get 1900 when at chess.com he is 1800 it isnt worth the reputation or the time to do that this is a game he enjoys and cheating would ruin it...
Originally posted by wormwoodchess.com use a slightly different rating system to RHP (Glicko instead of Elo) so there can be large swings in rating when a player is new. As a (possible) indication of how ratings differ between the two sites I am generally around 2000 here but am currently 2150 on chess.com. I have beaten ih8sens three times on chess.com but never played him here.

It is an old thread, but it's also interesting to see what happens to an engine user playing on another site after a ban on here.
A kind of ongoing psychological experiment, if you will.
I expect ih8sens will be mixing it online with the GM's soon. In the future he will no doubt be banned on other sites too.
Originally posted by Squelchbelchyeah, but 2100 at chess.com is something like 1800-1900 here. and it has been quite some time since he played here, so some improvement can be expected.
ih8sens is rated 2124 over at chess.com at the moment.
He's playing IM John Bartholomew (2411) in one game & appears to be doing very well.

still, wouldn't bat an eye if he got caught cheating again. the people who resort to cheating are not prone to learn from past mistakes.
