rated 2350, right from the start after a couple games, eh, then dropped to 1300. yes, this is a familiar story.

Both juan345 and jose345 have the same track record, scoring big ratings the first ten games off of one player, then each other, etc., etc.. They are definately the same person.

These seems to be another of those articially created high ratings.

Jose345 starts out playing Juan345 and builds his rating to 2327.

I'm not sure who the ultimate beneficiary is.

I would guess that Juan and Jose won't be around very long.

pmanning12 would seem to be another incarnation.

gringo1234321 may also be.

I believe this is called point-farming. The user should be deleted right away. Point-pimping, on the other hand, is perfectly legal and respectful.

new crop of banned players - and guess who's in it?

I dont know, who?

So it was Katman123 that was the intended beneficiary of the farming.

speaking of games where people just play like 5 moves and resign. I just got a game with a player like. I just deleted it though because I wasn't playing white. And I only play english. When i checked his profile it says 21 wins 0 losses. But i didn't see any of his games that went past 4 moves. Do you think he is using multiple accounts? Should i post his name?

winner234 didn't get banned and appears to be part of the group as well.

Unbelievable, he has been a member since 2005. What was the point of it all.

Looks like Russ hasn't removed katman123's subscription yet. 😲
