I play on gameknot, same handle, and I am rated way higher there, 1466 at the moment and here on RHP I am 1349. I think it is easier to win on GK.

I started on gameknot (as mrbojangles10999) a while ago and then came here just a couple of months ago. Even with all of the above comments about GK being like playing an engine, I myself hardly even know what an engine is.
My experience is that GK is much more difficult. Even though I am starting here, my rating is low 1400's here vs. a HIGH of 1320's on GK.

Your ratings must be excluded as it is provisional and dropping.

GAMEKNOT sucks butt! They banned me for some stupid crap reason once, and I never went back! Oh, by the way GAMEKNOT punks who work at GAMEKNOT, I paid for a membership at RHP and not at your site because of what YOU DID!

I used to play at gameknot but stopped when i was banned on forums for writing "off-topic" in one of the forums. "off topic" really means the moderator didn't like what i said. After that, i refused to have anything to do with them.

Sorry if I'm naive but how can engine use be obvious?

Game moves match engine moves.

Obvious cheating.

Or maybe they're just good, experienced players. Isn't it impossible to tell?

Human moves don't match engine moves. If you have any more bothersome questions please direct them elsewhere.

me too, i got banned for using a shared computer at my university. a few people used the same computer to play on gameknot. So they turned off all our forms of communication turned off team options and eventually stopped letting us start new games. This even though we wrote emails explaining the situation our ratings were very different and we all logged on from home as well where we didn't share computers. Furthermore instead of addressing us we just started encountering errors all over the site. So we refused to play there even though our team captain offered to pay for our subscriptions.

David Tebb, beat Kasparov and he's not in our top ten list of players, so we must be very strong at RHP.
