Does any bodyknow, I had some questions for him. Maybe Bbarr gave him a shock.

He did. That was one of the most lop-sided games I've ever seen. Bbarr really did a number on him.

No, I think the fraud has crawled back under whatever rock he came from. Guess those 100 poor kids from Seattle won't be joining the site!

That's obviously not Seirawin, but a noob. You telling me Seirawin wouldn't notice that bishop capture check of a pawn on h7, which caused all his problems. Seirawin doesn't play the Petroff anyways. FRAUD!

Come on,he was clearly a fraud.
If he didn't wanted to get insults he could register with his real name,not pretending he's Yasser Seirawan.

Guys, he might be getting old, he might have been tired, his hand might have slipped, maybe bbar was just better than him. But there's no reason for jumping to conclusions, you all shouldn't be so cruel. What have you accommplished by calling someone a fraud? Have you created tension? Yes. Have you caused pain? Probably so. Have you made the world a better place? Definatly not. So please don't come and childishly accuse someone a fraud.
