jeff333 is setting up multiple accounts. Looks like the owner of this account might be flick as jeff333 has 5 wins over him/her without a move being made.

So, we have....

flick

I've looked quickly to see if the trail goes any further, although there are some suspicious accounts, these are the only ones im certain are being used to manipulate ratings.😛

Another prat!

Game 812672

I think it should be a relatively simple affair to run an IP check on these accounts and ban them, if identical.

In this case yes. Cannot do that generally though because different people who are on the same network could have the same IP address.

I have my hands full with just one account at this website plus other accounts I have at other websites under the same handle. Why create multiple accounts in a single CC website? I don't know!

Just a total waste of time...

People do it so they have a high rating in one account. By playing themselves and winning over and over they have one account that has a massive rating.

I really don't see the point of highlighting this kind of 'cheating'

A - It will never really have a big effect, as the further from the 1200 starting point a player gets less the benefit will be

B - As soon as the player in question plays someone else reality will kick in pretty quickly

Let's face this is probably kids having a bit of fun. Let's keep this forum for chess.🙂
