Did I say something like: "Excuse me,the reference percentages are too low(or too high),you should only consider engines top choice,and 30 seconds isn't enough."?

ou guys worked out a system you think is sound,he applies it,you accept the results as true.That's always going to be a 100% score
I apologize if I read too much into what you wrote... since there is no way for me to know HOW you are saying it.

So can I take it that every person you have reported as a possible cheat has been positively identified as being a cheater and banned from the site.

Well eldragonfly did not take up my challenge and send me a game.
I was PM’d a few games by other lads and having looked at the games and the names
I am 80/20 convinced an engine is ticking over in their games.
But the more I think about it and having just read the rantings, the figures, the
claims and counter claims on this thread. I’ve come to the conclusion…
…So What?
Eldragonfly states 1/3 to 2/3 of the top players are suspected engine users.
What is a top player? Someone with a national grade of over 2000 is a top/strong player.
On RHP there are 183 players graded over 2000. Let us say they are ALL cheats.
(I am not saying they are all cheats, I'm not saying any of them are cheats)
That leaves 19109 (19292 – 183) players under 2000 who are NOT cheating.
That is 0.09% Hardly the epidemic that eldragonfly claims.
But I’m not having a go at eldragonfly – It’s the lot of you. Simply forget it.
I’ve turned, I’ve changed my mind.
I thought everyone on here would be plugging in and thought what is the point of playing.
But I’ve played over 100’s of games and see that 99% of you
do not plug-in. (if you do then update your software).
The cheats (as stated by chessworld.com) will end up only playing each other.
Also it’s impossible to catch them all. You will never totally eradicate cheating.
Of course the idiots who use a box for every move will stand out a mile.
But what about the guy who thinks there may be a trick in the position or
is thinking about a saccing a piece – if he has the latest Fritz/Rybka then there is
a strong chance he will use it to check his variation.
Then what? Do you start giving combinations an evaluation?
Lighten up – forget it – shrug your shoulders and move on.
Get a girlfriend.

yeah. that's not the way I'd like rhp to be. the cheats must be dealt with.
