lol, i suppose, sorry about this, i just thought it had gone a little to far with so many threads and other digs at jw.
I think if he is cheating though there should be some action taken, but that is for russ and chris to decide.

Somehow JW still has 60 odd games going which means hes cheating against 60 people. Clearly they dont know hes cheating otherwise they wouldnt play him.
Maybe we should just have one super JW thread instead of the 8 or 9 about the place. He could almost have his own forum :-)
I think everyone would agree with you that there are to many threads about him :-)

Originally posted by JackoThere are a couple of other players on here, who have also shown the same type of sudden meteoric rise that our beloved JW has shown. A common trait in all of them, is an avoidance of playing somebody of a much higher rating.
To which i think looks true, but if you look at his graph, when he was going from 1100 to about 1500-1550ish, he had not played anyone rated over 1500, this can help your rating go up a lot and not mean your that good
Of course, they can't always avoid these pairings due to tournaments. That is when you see losses of this type: Game 776193 and this Game 776194. As the cheaters rating and his opponents get closer, then you will see the cheat winning games that he has resigned needlessly less than a month, and 300 rating points earlier

Originally posted by Faith No Moreomg... that was just about the cheapest way to lose... I think the way he was playing there, even I could have beaten him, and my rating is below 1100...
DualSpace,
Thi was JW's chess skills before September:Game 540416
Now if you think that JW, the dude who can't even spell "it", made it to 1800 on his own, you must be on some serious dope.
this is hilarious! 😀

Originally posted by The Slow Pawnhey, all i am saying is that we should just leave him alone and forget about him. It does look like he is cheating, but then what is there to say that you're not cheating?? These chess programs now have so many different levels that you could quite easily playing with one rated around 1600 to get you there, so lets just give it a rest!

Originally posted by GrayeyesofsorrowI doubt that a program could play to a 2500 rating in correnspondence chess. Of course the players in here are not that great. Maybe fritz could rate high vs the players in here. By that great I am refering to players that have a 2600 pluss over the board rateing.
You're a bit retarded arent you Dual Space. Look at his graph it is going up without stopping, soon he will be at 2500.
I wish the dumbwits would just open their eyes a little!!

Originally posted by Grayeyesofsorrowwell-maybe that's a good reason to close these threads. someone comes along, and they see lots of people ganging up against some guy who may or may not be cheating. to be honest though, noone actually knows. maybe he's highly rated otb, but just never really tried on rhp? we don't know!

what would be better for new players to see, other than mob rule, would be to see a little button saying "repot cheating", or something along those lines. 'cause if russ is implementing the cheat police thingy, well!
now then, can we please stop this, or i'm gonna reeeeeeeeeally peeve off the moderators by flagging every post about cheating/jw that i can find...

Ugh, this getting boring already...
Why do you think that the accusations against JW are only an assumption? He is guilty. FULL STOP
Stop looking at his rating graph for one second and hear some proof. HE MATCHES UP TO OVER 90% OF ENGINE USE. That's right, he moves identically to an ENGINE.
How can people STILL think he is innocent? people need to let this fear of accusing innocent people away and wake up to smell the roses.
If you come here for harmony and peace then maybe you should go hold hands and sing Kumbaiah with some hippy; here we need to face the FACTS and NOT look for excuses.

Simply because these threads are stating the truth.
You're bothered? Just click and post in another thread.

Originally posted by geniusI was one of the first ones to accuse JamesWoodley of cheating. Originally, every post I made and every thread I started got deleted by mods. At least a dozen posts and at least two threads. Then all of a sudden - nothing. Now the word "cheater" is plastered all across these forums. They stopped deleting them for a reason, Genius. These accusations are not just accusations anymore.

Yeah he's probably cheating, but so what? If you cross paths with him, ignore him, resign, and move on.
Regardless of what the the admins do to him, the worst punishment he can have is that he'll never get better, and he'll carry the reputation of CHEAT around his neck on this site like an albatross.
I'm mediocre at best, but there's no way I'll ever cheat because it completely defeats the purpose. James is like a bad fart; if you ignore him long enough, he'll go away for good. --Beer.

Originally posted by beermaestroThis is true and has been brought up about a million trillion times, but when you play strictly tournaments, clan games and clan league games, he pops up all the time. Then what??
