So, while they are busy cheating on a silly little online site, I laugh at the bank winning OTB tournies, seems fair, doesn't it?
I just feel like some people still cheat !!!

What are you trying to say? ðŸ˜
Let the RHP people do as much as they can to eliminate the cheaters. Obviously it's going to be far from perfect. In my opinion it's self-limiting. I can't see somebody checking a search engine for each move for a long period of time. If they are in their right mind, they'll realize it's a useless exercise because the win is meaningless. Of course, there are a few out there who aren't in their right mind who will continue to cheat and nothing short of beating them up every day will stop them. I have communicated with someone on ICC who is a confirmed cheater. When I asked him what he got out of it, he wrote "respect." I said, "What about self-respect?" and he wrote, "Oh, I have plenty of that. I just want more from other people." Somebody like that has psychological problems and I'd rather lose every game than deal with that.

so do i but how can you tell if they are eg white every game and same opening and unbeaten?
