Saeid had 6 games going when he was banned.
2 were with Capa (banned)
2 were with kbear1k
and 2 were with johnmarin (also banned!)

If Saeid himself weren't banned, then he would have rotten luck with 66.66 % of his ongoing games against (assumable) engines !

Originally posted by TiwakingRe8 is bad on it's own. In the main lines the knight goes there, since there's no other good place for it after g5. After Re8 moving h6 outright loses to the following push. White has a lot of options and can think about Bd3 and sacrifice a minor piece on g7 or anything to open up the g and h files. It was a poor opening choice by him followed up with two losing engine moves.
I always like looking through banned players game to see their losses. In this case I actually feel a bit sorry for Mariska Angela:

A friend PM'd me. It's the binary thing.
[b]512 = 1000000000
(still unsure. 512 is nibbling again - I hate things like this.)[/b]
(There being 2**x players in an x-round knockout: 2 in a single match, 4 in a 2-round, etc.)

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: I can't imagine anything more pathetic than cheating at chess on the internet.
