Should that be:
"David Tebb, in the "The Game Mods" thread."
or
"David Tebb, in the thread "The Game Mods"."
Standards slipping with all the excitement?
😉😛
You see, the "the" in the "The Game Mods" thread title lends itself as the definite article to my own sentence.

Both. No one consistently matches up almost 100% with an engine unless they are using an engine. Your hero was a cheat.

I thought a certain integrity was required to become a FIDE referee. However, his occupation (if IronMan31 is indeedxxxxxx) does not immediately make him innocent.
However, I can't be the only one curious as to what he has to say on this matter...
Yeah, like I KEEP TELLING PEOPLE, you must ALWAYS look at the evidence! After we confronted him with the evidence he apologized and for a while was penalized for his actions. ANYBODY who cheats should be penalized in some form.
The only sticky point is how the evidence is used to support the case of cheating, and IF IT IS VALID.
For examle, after No1 lost a game to me he sent me a PM stating that my moves had matches Fritz 100%! Well, I knew that wasn't true because I check my games with Fritz AFTER they are over.
I was not surprized to see that the majority of moves in our game were all in Fritz's database, and there were only a few moves made after the database in which Fritz agreed with some of my moves.
However, I could not make Fritz accept some of my moves in the final battle. So, what I'm saying is that it takes an organized team to evaluate all this stuff and I think that's what RHP has now.
Cheers to the people on the Mod Team!

Steady on, No1, he wasn't "my hero", I've never, ever, claimed he was. What I want to know is why a FIDE ref is taking the risk of ruining his reputation by cheating to the degree you suggest on a very public website?
I'd also like to know whether the Game Mods / Admins gave him a chance to defend himself or if they already have some proof that either ...[text shortened]... sn't who he appears to be, or that Russ' new code has detected engine activity in his profile?

Originally posted by no1marauderMy opinion isn't "Well you never know", my opinion is "Well YOU don't know". You've said yourself that IronMan was going to inevitably be down an exchange. If you're up against a player like Akizy or IM, and you're down an exchange, no one would question you for resigning. There's even the possibility that IronMan knew that game he was having was being watched very closely by lots of players, including myself I know three that were watching both games they had against each other, and IM decided to just let the game go and not have to show the disasterous result of his play.
No, I'm not; but I've studied literally thousands of Grandmaster games and read books by the greatest players in the 20th Century. My opinion stands based on my experience and knowledge; do you anything to offer besides "Well, you never know??".
You're obviously not a fan of defense attornies.

Much better picture!
The man in those two pictures are, in my opinion, the same.
I'm not sure what can be concluded because of that, though...

"beyond a reasonable doubt" according to the Site Admins
not because I don't believe in the people or their integrity, but because the evidence is not being placed in a public forum, and made understandable to us patzers. For a banning, this has to be only reasonable - as is that my view that the accused is given a chance to defend themselves.
Stating a 90% matchup with an engine alone is not sufficient to convince me, and I suspect many others on this site.

Originally posted by no1marauderYou certainly can, as I have stated now numerously either Ironman31 / Edmond Dantes is in reality Afro or he's an impostor, that's all I want to know!?! I have always assumed that he was genuine; I've played him enough times and always found his chess knowledge second to none. He's not my hero, and no post from me to you suggests that. I just hope that he (like anyone else) has been given a fair chance to defend himself before this ban was enforced.
Really?? Can I post portions of a PM you sent me on August 27?

Because if it was then the cheaters would know how to avoid being caught! 😲
