They claimed to be a person IRL but didn't realize that person w ...[text shortened]... o 1100 rather than being 2000+ players. They also were removed shortly after.
Fun stuff.
wasn't there that one young 'russian' female player also making moves here simultaneously while playing otb in moscow?
then there was 'IM jean hebert' too, whom I emailed to and who had never heard of rhp. the rhp 'jean hebert' also had quite a loyal fanbase in rhp clans where he had been 'imparting his chess knowledge'. many people NEVER admitted he was a fake, no matter how much evidence was publicized. (I was fooled too at first, having just started chess and being a gullible noob.)

Actually it was in North Carolina. I beat Noodles to the info by a couple of minutes.
The thread revealing that information was deleted and I got a 7 day Forum ban for "stalking" even though the player had given evidence that led to the tournament which was available to anyone on the USCF website. I wound up re-posting it after my Forum ban and I guess the Forum Mods had changed their minds as it remained on the board. Interestingly some of the same characters who complained about Skeeter's posts which led to her ban were also those complaining about the information referenced being publicized.

Thanks Phlabs for sorting this out for me. My previous post requesting clarification regarding the statistical analysis was ignored. Looks like the stats confirmed Skeeter was a very good correspondence chess player (good enough to be number 1 on this site). I am going to miss her. She was entertaining, unlike some that requested her dismissal. Skeeter is a feisty woman who is thick skinned enough for these forums. I hope Skeeter reincarnates herself; maybe she already has.
Skeeter has gone.
