Is your recommendation serious?
Clearly, playing against an engine over and over is pretty tedious stuff...as you are likely aware, but on a chess site...there's tremendous variety.
My understanding of what kingscrusherX means is that: he doesn't care if his opponent is weak or strong, and won't get paranoid if someone beats him...he just want to play chess!

I'm sorry, but I can only recommend anyone (and I mean anyone) not to play Trackhead by all means.
There is a clearly very strong player (who is not afraid to show his real name [b]AND his rating) here who quite interestingly put evidence that Trackhead is NOT a real person playing. Sure ...[text shortened]... engine-users) are destroying RHP and I will do what I can to prevent that ...

I kinda agree with you here...but not that he should be removed from the site.
He has clearly been belligerent, disrespectful, and arrogant. Apparently (according to him) he's simply an incredibly gifted player w/ no OTB experience or rating...that can simply recognize and 'crush' any engine at will!? Using tremendous good judgment, he published a long list of RHP 'cheaters' (without producing any evidence whatsoever), resigned all his games, let his girlfriend play for him, (breaking the Terms of Service), and seems real quick to the trigger to accuse people, or condemn anyone that doesn't agree with him.
Scary thing is, this 'total dominance' seems to have paid off...he has managed to make some allies and garnered some support...actually finished 3rd in the 'cheat police' vote with a whopping 143 votes! God help us!

As far as the 143 votes are concerned, I am almost certain that Trackhead is not the only engine user at RHP and I would put any money on the fact that the majority of people voted for Trackhead are engine user's themselves ...
He needs to be banned, NOW ... The evidence produced by good and excellent players here is overwhelming. He has totally ignored any accusation in his direction, has not produced an international rating, not even once shown that he understands chess ...
It's good to see that more and more people are behind me on this
Kind Regards
Boris
PS: I'm almost certain that Trackhead (despite his votes) will not become member of the cheat policy, so don't worry too much

Originally posted by The Slow PawnHave to correct that in my case - I didn't and haven't analysed any of Trackhead's games. I've had one very brief conversation with him which seemed to me to prove he didn't understand the difference between a mainline Slav and the rubbish opening I had accidently played (due to a fingerfehler); and I made some private comments that I was suspicious of both him and xxxFearUSAxxx on UChess.
There ... More evidence against Trackhead ...
In addition Sander, Robbo and Osse have analysed your games and proven that you are an engine (yes I know that I repeat myself)
There are other reasons I'm skeptical, but none in this case relate to his game moves (as said, I've seen none apart from the one Slav we had before he resigned when moving to NY).

Trackhead-
I realize that you are strongly in favor of the idea, but of course you do have much to gain if elected as one of the 'game moderators'..i.e. prestige/influence/power.
Am I afraid? Absolutely. Afraid that a game moderator (perhaps you?) will falsely (mistakenly) accuse innocent people.
I'm concerned about fairness...there's enough i ...[text shortened]... strates it's fairness and accuracy, my apologies. please direct me to the link.

Yeah, Russ is pretty smart. He needed to:
1) Inform the members that a system was being formed to catch cheaters.
2) Include the membership in the new system
3) Get the memberships' opinions
And also, pretty clever of Russ...
4) See how each prospective member communicates his/her ideas and how they respond to the other members.
So, the next step is to place the members on the mods team and then give them the proper training.

Note : The final decision will be made by the site administrators, but the community's opinion will be very influential.
Therefore, your speculation is worthless.

Hi Trackhead
May I quickly ask how you managed to beat XxFeArUsA1xX (who no longer has an account there) on uchess.com. I can do quite well against IM's and GM's on blitz chess, but had no chance against him, probably because he was using Deep Fritz.
The win I am referring to occured on the 13th of September 2004 which can be seen your perfec ...[text shortened]... .uchess.com/forumviewthread.php?forumid=1&threadid=186
