Congratulations. You've written the most ridiculous and over-the-top post in this whole thread - and there've been some doozies. Can you seriously mention cheating at chess and 'sex crime' in the same breath? Are you really that invested in the outcome here?
Fat Lady is really talking about the chance or reoffending rather than the seriousness of the actual crime.
In a "sex crime" the chance of reoffending is high whereas, say, the "murder" of your spouse in the heat of the moment is a crime unlikely to be repeated although objectively more serious than a "minor" sex crime or "cheating" at chess.

Originally posted by Dragon FireHe got the point. The analogy is crap. Fat lady was talking about child molesting earlier. what is next? Rape? a Serial Murderer. Well, A Serial murderer also has a high probability to recommit the crime.

People get convicted on circumstantial evidence all the time. Esp. when there is also direct evidence as there is in this case i.e. the Game Analysis of one of the strongest players on the site who was also an original Game Mod (and who's joining the Game Mods gave them great credibility from day 1).

Last I checked we have freedom of speach! Why are the mods taking my GOD GIVEN LIBERTIES FROM ME! THIS IS A DEMOCRACY!

Originally posted by Doctor RatSo you think players on a correspondence site routinely play better than Kasparov did OTB?

What were the match-up rates for some of the modern cc masters that failed the rhp test. How did Berliner, Oosterom, and Andersson do? What was the last top cc master to pass the test?

Originally posted by Doctor RatI have no idea what the match-up rates are, but I think what wormwood meant was that whatever the match-up rates of modern CC masters are, it won't help us as a guideline because the ICCF allows engine use.
