Well then you have nothing to worry about. If David knows you, he is the lead game mod, and you won't be banned without his 100% certainty that you should be. 🙂

Exactly. Once Dave confirms your identity and strength, you'll be fine.

Agree.. If Tommy is on the level then there should be no question that he is a FIDE Master. But to post "someone's" rating doesn't give any credit to us - the general membership. However, the mods could easily check this out and determine if it's legit or not.

Everyone has to earn respect wherever they go. Even if you were the president of the US you would still have to. [ok bad example]

Be careful not to play whilst drunk is the important rule.

Thank you

A 2345 FIDE rating would place you close to the top 100 rated players in the US (currently 2371). I've looked at some of your games and there's no way you play at that level. Plus most guys who do don't feel the rather sad need to brag about it. Nor are very many of them "car salesman". You might not be a cheat, but you sure are a bulls**ter.

Lol. If Mr Tebb can do this in other areas than chess, he'll make a killing!

Cut the guy a little slack No 1. At least let Tebb confirm or refute him before you hang him out to dry.

Don't hold your breath waiting for Dave to publicly do either. I searched last night for an e-mail address for the Belguim Chess Federation to see if I could get in touch with the real Tom Piceu, but most of the links don't work. If anybody could direct me to a site or give me a e-mail address for the Belguim Chess Federation we could expose this mini -"Yasser Seirawan" once and for all.

EDIT: Nevermind; I found an e-mail address for the head of the Belguim Chess federation and sent him this e-mail (hope he speaks English):

Dear Sir:

I am a player on an internet chess correspondence site, RedHotPawn (don't ask). Recently a player using the name TommyBear has claimed to be the FIDE Master from your country, Tom Piceu. He claims that as Mr. Piceu he is now living in the state of New Hampshire in the US and working as a car salesman. Without invading Mr. Piceu's privacy in any way, I was wondering if there is any way you could check to see if such information is accurate as I suspect TommyBear to be an impostor. I would greatly appreciate any help you could give in this matter.

Fair enough?

Oh. I had assumed Oostkamp was the second-hand car capital of New Hampshire.

We in New Hampshire are trying to develop an international flair ... 😛

I've checked my records and I'm pretty sure that I've never played anyone called Tom Piceu. So I'd be very interested to know about these OTB games that I'm supposed to have won.
