That club forum is dead. The person doing the bulk of the analysis there was a previously banned person with a new identity who then got re-banned. And that was pretty much the end of that.
The bottom line is that the admins don't have the inclination to ban everyone proven to be a cheat, so they just make sample gestures from time to time. The problem with that is a) cheats continue to cheat and get away with it and b) moderators who give up their time to analyse suspected cheats are discouraged when their efforts are ignored and wasted.
It is ironic that a competing site is now aggressively employing the methodology perfected here to kick their cheats while "zero tolerance" at RHP takes on a bizarre new meaning.
Originally posted by skeeter I really don't know what you expect me to say here sonhouse. I could say that the 1900 and 2200 defeats were against opponents that displayed a 96 and 100% match, respectively for 1st and 2nd choices from the Rybka 2.3.3 engine but clearly I cannot say that so I wont.
Again, clearly, I could say that after similar analysis, I have determined that amongst ...[text shortened]... random and the other random is a choo choo, but I can't say that so I don't.

Pretty funny! So there are hints of a sense of humor? So maybe some of them are driving on RHP but I don't think all of them are. It looks like it comes down to not enough people checking them out. They are volunteers after all, it's not like they are getting 50K/year to find cheaters. What about you? Do you have the means or the motivation to do it? I only have a couple of comps, couple of antique HP's. In order to do the job justice you would need a bunch of different boxes, Fritz, Rybka, etc. and see which one matches the games. It's pretty labor intensive. Now with multicore CPU's, dozens of chess programs it is a daunting task to match CPU's/pgms to actual games. You can't just do a fritz analysis and call it a day. So I'll give you the possibility of unfound engines. Not that you would give a rats asss about my opinion of course.

the competing site has so many 2700 + you could have a formula one race. Still it is true that squelchy has broken through and made progress there. After WGM Dembo got booted the drama there has gone through the roof 🙂
Forums are better here though, despite losing heinzie etc.
New number vun!
