when you play RHP blitz it's most obvious how big the number of cheats is. I regulary run into some 2000-2200 CC rated RHP members playing blitz like patzers. Funny.
I often lose to lower rated players on the blitz site, but that's partly because I'm not very good at blitz and partly because it's not a very good interface. Despite this I win about nine games out of ten.
There seem to be quite a lot of players rated 1200 on the blitz site who haven't played any games on the main site. Several of them are pretty good. I very rarely see anyone else rated 2000+ there. Korch used to be a regular, but I haven't seen him recently.
I can't imagine why any engine user would bother to play on the blitz site at all.
playchess.com is a fantastic interface. I keep intending to subscribe, but I find it so relaxing playing unrated games (I have stored over 800, so must have played 2000+ in the last year) that at the moment I think I might be better off just playing guest games.
Has anyone ever used playchess.com for longer time controls? With the new chess season fast approaching I was wondering if it might be a good place to get some serious practice in.

I am talking about some players not very known at forums who just played BAD altough having very high rating. And when I say bad, I do not mean relatively bad but BAD
Originally posted by no1marauderI read the post with interest.I had the misfortune to have a "lost game"against him in a surprising few moves every game we played.That lead me to suspect and then I saw the number of games he had in progress.It was so blatant.I did not reply to your post at the time-didn't think I had been here long enough to make waves.Had faith in the system.
The thread where I showed that clivestraddle was a fraud (he claimed to be BOTH a specific British master AND a 1700 rated US player!) was removed because it "harassed" him. The same thing happened to some of the threads exposing nmdavidb. I think the RHP community should be able to read the truth about people who falsely claim to be a high rated player when the evidence is overwhelming they are not. So far, the Forum Mods don't agree.

Now that clivestraddle is no longer a user on this site, I assume it's OK to name and shame him? Can a forum mod please give advice on this.

Hopefully there will be some long-time cheats quivering in their boots at the moment.
