Ok. Now I can give you my name. I had first tournament in this year on January, 8. I took first place in this tournament. It was one open section. I did draw with the real master. And I did draw with the one expert. The name of the tournament is "Tornament #1". It was in Latham, NY, USA. You can check http://www.enyca.org/ . They will place the result crosstable on this week. I'll give the link on this crosstable too. My name is Serge Nizhegorodtsev.

By all means play computers to prepare and learn but we joined this site to play against people. Do you use a wordfind finder sitting at the scrabble board? a. not unless you have mutual consent and your opponents desire to use the same facility.

What I don't get is, why would someone cheat? There is no monetary reward at stake. What's the payoff? A bunch of people you'll never meet think you're pretty good at chess?
