It is assumed that is the reason he was banned due to considerable moaning about alleged engine use. Since RHP don't list the reason for a banning (apparently this wasn't always so) it could have been for something else. Dubious activity with the site goat for instance.

Yeah, that one did in a lot of greek players for sure🙂 You know, the greek gambit?
Originally posted by NorrisB well we know he was banned from chess.com for engine use so its a safe assumption
No we don't know that. chess.com also don't publish reasons for banning. Looking at their list of banned accounts it is obvious that a lot must be for multiple accounts. Whatever the real reason, I reckon goat bothering is a much more interesting reason.

Interesting, it mentions last game in april of 09, and first started in 08, wonder when he was chugged off here? Could it be he just picked himself up off the floor after being offed here and started business there?
I wonder if the real Weyerstrass knows about all this garbage?
