Theres this guy named iron man whose rating is 500, but if you click on his name his rating changes to 2500. why isnt he at the top of the player table for ratings?

if he was using an engine, why was his display rating only 500? And how could they catch you using an engine anyway?

He bet that no one would be stupid enough to start another thread about Ironman after the last one (I can't remember where or when that one was). Time period was 1 month.
I, on the other hand, subscribe to the belief that no one has ever gone broke underestimating the stupidity of the general public.

I made a conscience choice to be less pessimistic and give people the benifit of the doubt (it makes for a less gloomy life), but stuff like this happens every dday and undermines my belief that I made the right choice.

they use a an engine like fritz which matches up a users moves to the computers. no machine can be 100%, so it would be liable to error.
although it don't make much difference to my level of chess today i still like most others don't want people cheating as it is robbing some of the best players of their true ratings and positions.
on the other side it is possible to get into a position where any good player would naturally play a specific move for a number of consecutive turns which would automatically match the engine. could a really good player naturally make these positions?

Liam, Darv etc... were trying to convince some of the female members of the site to pose for the "Miss RHP 2005" competition and no one was responding to the thread so I suggested that they message some female members asking them to pose. Darv bet I wouldn't do it...and I did. I want my damn money 😠
