Agreed. To be comprehensively ridiculed is far worse.
However, his rating decline has been too swift for me. I've been waiting patiently for over two weeks to harvest my 'reward'. His skulls finally appear on my list in approx 25 hours time. Do all gather round as I happily crush them. Alas, they'll only be worth a point or two by then

Originally posted by roma45Of course he will return. Isn't it clear that he was a victim of the ferocious individuals who populate this forum? He was innocent, he was not guilty of impersonation, atticus and Andrew Martin are two liars! Had he been found to impersonate a real-life GM, it's obvious that RHP would have closed his account promptly. But this did not happen.

Originally posted by roma45Trial by internet forum usually results in a guilty verdict no matter what the merits or otherwise of the case. He isn't defending himself so he must be guilty. Or, if he feels the need to defend himself he must be guilty. He probably knows this already and can't be assed. He's probably back already pretending to be someone else anyway.

I say call out the pitch fork wielding mob, ferret him out from his hidey hole and burn the bugger! That seems suitable punishment for a first offence, if he does it again the punishment should be much more severe.
Originally posted by roma45RHP proved this conclusively by not banning the player in question! He IS innocent, atticus and Andrew Martin are two liars. Most likely atticus was losing in his games against Norblackheart and found this way to avoid an inevitable defeat. It sounds logical to me.

Originally posted by cotoiroma - I think cotoi was being sarcastic when he wrote the above. I don't think he is accusing atticus of lying, nor is he defending GM noggin. That's how I read it, anyway.

It's how I read it too.
But it need not have come to this. I initially offered him two draws. Normally I'd have resigned both games at the start to someone like this. But we were in the 1/14 Clan league, and I had my team to think of. So play a few moves, equalise, then get out of the games with two halves. Leave the rest to the Mods one day.
However, GM Norb declined both offers without comment. No worries; I can take a bit of rudeness in my stride. Maybe his English wasn't up to a reply. So next move, I explained why I was offering two draws. I explained, as I've mentioned above, that normally I'd have resigned both games at the start but I'd didn't want my team disadvantaged. Moreover, I really didn't want to play him at all. To make sure he understood, I even explained my reasons in Norwegian: Du er en utro sekk med dritt
This earned me a reply - in fluent English. The reason I wanted two draws, he claimed, was because I was scared of losing to a GM. He could tell I was a strong player, but he could also understand my fear. And if I cared to Google the name Kjetil Lie, I would find out who he was.
Right. Well now. What to do? So I replied observing that, if he was Kjetil Lie, I was a banana. Furthermore, it would take me an email or two to check directly with Kjetil, so he'd be well-advised to take the draws. That made him STFU. He declined the draw offers a second time; and I set about contacting Kjetil Lie. That took ten minutes via Facebook. Kjetil Lie & I have a shared 'friend' in Andrew Martin. Andrew made contact for me, and a few minutes later, the job was done. Simple
The trouble with these threads is the wise guys read them too.
The threads on catching cheats via match up's are full of info
cheats use to avoid detection.
Now 'do not impersonate a chess player who has a Facebook account'
has been added to the list. 🙂
I see GM NoMoreMoves is now down to 1842.
On the 2nd March 1842 a horse called Gaylad won the Grand National.
Just thought I'd add that in. It may score you a point in a pub quiz one day.
