By the way, there are definitely games where he didn't cheat - at least not on every move:

Originally posted by cmsMasterIf he really cheated it's quite obvious that he wanted to lose or draw once in a while. Otherwise it would be too suspicious and he would be banned even earlier.

I think that there puts an end to this thread.
Originally posted by cmsMasteryeah I thought about f11, but it seems like a somewhat silly solution in my situation. the price is not an issue, it's nothing. I think I saw somewhere a mention that you could get f9 working on vista somehow, but maybe I remember wrong...
Yeah, I know what you're saying, but if it's not SUPPOSED to work, then I doubt it will. However, Fritz 11 just came out, and that would be a nice upgrade - probably worth the money too if you have some $30 or $40 to spend.

Originally posted by jvanhineI'm not entirely sure I'd like to be the leader of a clan right now, when I led the KG Player's Clan I never felt like I was doing a very good job - there was just too much time that had to be put into creating challenges and what not. I have thought about starting a clan where only people I invite could join, but most of the people whom I would invite seem to be pretty involved with other clans already - of course, I'd only invite people who I am 99% certain don't use engines and would contribute to the clan forum, so there wouldn't be all that many people in the clan. 😉
i was playing him at the time of the ban (he was teaching me KG stuff) and am dissapointed in him...
who will be the next sac clan leader? CMS?

I think some people may be interested in this:
From Playchess:
1': Blitz 15´ for Ameteur, 3 ROUNDS, start at 4:15
Ih8sens: hi...
->Ih8sens: hey man
->Ih8sens: whats the deal
Ih8sens: saw the forum a little while ago.. that sucks
Ih8sens: I dunno..
->Ih8sens: that thread's on fire, about 70 posts now
Ih8sens: I seriously hope I was banned for 'overstudying' the traxler or
something..
->Ih8sens: so far im the only person who has even slightly defended you
Ih8sens: it's fine
Ih8sens: and thx 😛
->Ih8sens: i posted our game and said that i didnt really suspect
anything from it
->Ih8sens: but at the same time i trust that mod staff a lot
Ih8sens: surely the mods checked all of my stupid sacs and knew those
weren't sound?
->Ih8sens: ive talked to some of them and they are very careful with who they ban
Ih8sens: I'm sure it has to do with the traxler
->Ih8sens: ive even reported players that i thought were blatant
cheaters, and they didnt get banned
Ih8sens: I had a lot of engine analysis on it and yes, I used it in
game..
->Ih8sens: yeah, scandium posted a nice post
Ih8sens: yah it was nice.. partially true about engine stuff
->Ih8sens: im pretty sure your ban has to do with the engine analysis of
the traxler
Ih8sens: I didn't just plug moves in randomly though..
Ih8sens: oh well.
->Ih8sens: yah, idk
->Ih8sens: ive never seen them reverse a decision
Ih8sens: I don't expect them too...
->Ih8sens: however i understand that they always give banned players a
chance to make a case for themselves
->Ih8sens: your graph did look sketchy though
Ih8sens: but if I was a fighter* wouldn t I be smart enough to improve
super slowly
Ih8sens: oh well.. I don't really expect anyone to believe me.. scandium
basically describes what most people were thinking
->Ih8sens: yeah, idk
->Ih8sens: yeah
->Ih8sens: i made as good a case for you as i can
->Ih8sens: i mean, i dont really know you that well, so i cant say either
way
->Ih8sens: but your play didnt seem blatant to me at all
Ih8sens: I don't expect you to believe em
Ih8sens: me.
Ih8sens: my two games vs vipiu that I had in progres would prove I didn t
fight*
Ih8sens: I totally misplayed in the one game and in the other I sacced
the exchange and I'm sure it wasn't sound
->Ih8sens: there are certain players who i can say I KNOW didn't cheat,
some that I'd say definitely do, and you'd fit into where most people fit
- which is somewhere in between
->Ih8sens: yeah, i posted two games where im sure you didnt cheat
Ih8sens: I just lost a lot of confidence in the mods 😛
->Ih8sens: people just dont seem to buy it though
Gannibal is here (Main Playing Hall)
Ih8sens: it's fine. I sent a message to the site asking where
their proof is (a nice email 🙂)
Ih8sens: I'll have to either find another site or play here ...
->Ih8sens: well, im 90% certain you were banned because of the intense
engine analysis that you put into the traxler
->Ih8sens: i mean, if you're doing engine analysis 15-20 moves deep, that
could be called engine use
Ih8sens: which is really sad.. all they had to do was send me a message
and I would have switched to the guico piano
Ih8sens: I used to play that line anywas
->Ih8sens: i want to sign up for ICC - ive been meaning to do that for a
long time
Ih8sens: does it cost?
->Ih8sens: well, there's no way they can say that they know you were
cheating..but just stop
->Ih8sens: its either never cheat, or be banned
->Ih8sens: which is only fair
->Ih8sens: yeah, it's $30/yr. if you're a student
->Ih8sens: it's live chess, like on here
->Ih8sens: but i like it more
Ih8sens: cool
->Ih8sens: and you dont get a loss for a disconnect
->Ih8sens: which is very important for me
Ih8sens: yah I had gotten pretty deep in the traxler
->Ih8sens: plus when you pay that money you get FULL access
Ih8sens: sweet
->Ih8sens: not this playchess b-ll---- where you have to pay ducats to
get the stuff you want
Ih8sens: i'm still dissapointed.. I guess I musta been attached to that
rhp site 😛
->Ih8sens: i love it
->Ih8sens: i would hate to be banned
->Ih8sens: just not worth cheating for me, because my hobby would be
ruined 😛
Ih8sens: It's just so wierd.. pregame analysis was explicitly allowed!
Ih8sens: and just because I spent a lot of time in that department I get
banned anyways
->Ih8sens: well, im not a mod, and im not about to go into that gray area
->Ih8sens: but its a tough decision for them to make when they see you
play engine moves 15-20 moves into a game
Ih8sens: i'm over the shocked phase.. starting to get a little mad 😛
Ih8sens: yah true but gm's do that... and I certainly am still an
aspiring GM
->Ih8sens: yeah, just hope theyll reverse that decision i guess
->Ih8sens: gms do it differently though
Ih8sens: yah... I doubt they will
->Ih8sens: i mean, they have as much knowledge as an engine
->Ih8sens: so it's not as much of a help for them
->Ih8sens: and also, they cant look at what the engine said WHILE theyre
playing the game
Ih8sens: lol true
->Ih8sens: you had that ability
Ih8sens: which I can't prove I didn't do...
Ih8sens: yah exactly
Ih8sens: I can say I didn't .. but it isn't much of a democracy 😛
->Ih8sens: ha
->Ih8sens: yeah, thats true
->Ih8sens: idk
Ih8sens: Well.. I guess my goal just changed from CCIM to OTB IM
Ih8sens: or go back to game knot 😛
->Ih8sens: you can always play CC still
->Ih8sens: just not on RHP..ha
->Ih8sens: game knot sucks
Ih8sens: it does.
->Ih8sens: i think theres one called chess world or something
->Ih8sens: that looked almost as good as RHP
->Ih8sens: with some cool features
Ih8sens: Interesting.. I'll start looking soon
->Ih8sens: im mad though
Ih8sens: I just can't believe it.. my play was so stinkin wild...
->Ih8sens: the future of the sacrifice clan looks dark
Ih8sens: i gtg
->Ih8sens: hey
->Ih8sens: you mind if i post this on rhp?
Ih8sens: please do.
Ih8sens: thanks
->Ih8sens: yep
Ih8sens: bye
->Ih8sens: bye
