I would love to read a book: Confessions of an Internet Cheat. It would be worth it just to understand the reasoning behind such bizarre behavior. Maybe it's a childhood thing, where a kid doesn't get enough attention, maybe it's revenge thing, an attempt to get back at something or somebody. Maybe it's like people who steal little things from stores which they don't really need and can afford anyway, just for the excitement. 99% of people would walk around feeling sick and disgusted with themselves for trying a stunt like that, but not the cheats. They revel in it. But isn't it a lot of bother to type in hundreds and hundreds of moves? They must get something out of it. Something normal people can't understand.
Originally posted by Mephisto2Mephisto2's analysis is right. Must admit I'd missed this point when deciding to go in for the line a few moves before. Ironman of course didn't...

Well, I was looking the games of IRONMAN31, I get around 150 games played here in RHP. He was here an outstandig player , what a great player with blacks ! ( Dutch or French defense ) ... ok 98% or positive results was unbelievable ... I wish that he - wherever he is now - continue his great style ! If he was cheating us ? I dont mind ... He losted 3 amazing games , but won a lot more, someday we can understand the true !
By the way , I am going to San Luis to the WCC !!! see you there !
