Actually to be "around 2900-3000" with engine you need:
1) Serious computer, as in home PC/laptop you are unable to use all possibilities of your engine.
2) Spending more than few secs per move (like many fast-movers probably did).

do you agree that best RHP level is higher than the WCh level ?
But that guy is obvious centaur - engine users which have showed zero chess knowledge has obviously lower level.

I have doubts about cludi...why would someone go so mad and create sooooo much texts and analysis on his own site if he was cheatting? I thought the cheaters do not care much...

Here even his friend publicly disowned him for "cheating" read the posts by Tyranorex. There is evidence from 100% matches with Fritz and his friend claims he used engine in some games and you can see him losing games without engine help. His friend claims he is 2100 in real life. Let me ask you the following :-
- why would someone get up to 100% matches with ...[text shortened]... inning the championship is like 2400 performance, losing to a 1900 is within bounds of a 2100.
Anyway, it seems that nobody here is able to answer my question about where the official notifications of 3b bans are, so I will leave you all to get on with your chess.
Thanks everyone 🙂

It's not defence, it's looking at it as a person who just treats chess as a game, my major pastime lays elsewhere. So I'm seeing all of this from a different angle to a lot of the posters here.
You seem to be following my posts rather closely. So I return your question - why? 🙂
As I read your defence of an engine user I checked other posts of yours and found that you - on several occassions - posted posts "in favour" of English Tal. Then I asked you the simple question why?
You didn't answer my question at all, other than saying that you treat chess as a game. Why then support a person who used an engine in his games??

Originally posted by thaughbaerI think it's OK to hang foreigners. There's no shortage of them.
Are we considering hanging 3b violaters now ? Would certainly stop them rejoining under a different id.
As for the very occassional English player caught cheating (I can recall only one, English Tal, and he was probably half Latvian). They are obviously inherently honest, but sometimes forget that the World looks up to them and resort to using the same underhand tactics that are so commonly deployed by Johnny Foreigner. I think a suitable punishment for them would be to be barred from the RHP site for a day or two. The stigma this would involve is at least equivalent to death by hanging for one with no social standing.

In Thread 103865 English Tal was given a sendoff Cheater cheater pumpkin eater. I don't think English Tal ate any pumpkins, it was probably phatboy who did.
