I really wish they had upped the pace a little on Mary Ann. Her blatant cheating lasted just long enough to steal a tourney from me and two other players (technically from everyone else in that tourney as well, but meh). And nico, with 12 tourney wins... Iiya! It's just bonkers. It's like a Agatha Christie novel. Who can ya' trust?

trains also has those old losses against 1000-1300 players, but within a year he's 2100 and going up. 🙂

Does Herbert come as a shock to anyone? I'm kind of shocked by that... Seemed like such a pleasant fellow. So did Exy though, I suppose.

Originally posted by Will EverittIt's not a rule of chess, it's a rule of RHP. Anyway, he clealy knew about it. From Thread 39446:

"I find it curious how many time I read about chess engine on this site.
ICCF has no rule against using them. Curious as to why that is, except they welcome strongest play. Those who do use them are all close to same rating.
I make it clear here. I accuse no one of anything in my post. Except myself for not playing well.
Jean Hebert"

It seems he wasn't in the Olympiad team anyway.
