Originally posted by Red NightI believe someone else paid for his subscription, probably his clan leader as an inducement to join his clan.
In any event, if he wasn't the real Jean Hebert, how did he pay for the site? If the imposter used his own credit card, wouldn't that set off alarms?
Why are people so surprised when someone who registers with the name of a famous player turns out to be not the real thing?
Jose Capablanca was also banned on the same day as Jean Hebert. Does anyone think he was the Cuban World Champion?
On this site anyone can claim to be anybody. Not so long ago there was a guy claiming to be Yasser Seirawan and half the site seemed to believe he was genuine, despite not being able to play chess!

I shouldn't think so. The real Tebb can play chess well 😛
Although, to be perfectly honest, there is no way for us to know whether DT is the real thing i.e. the guy who beat Kaspy in a simul.
Perhaps the guy I played in the simul wasn't the real Kasparov? That would explain why I beat him!
The simul organisers paid Kasparov about £10,000 for doing the display. That's a pretty good inducement for someone to impersonate him.

Jean Hebert held himself out as being the Jean Hebert.
Interesting thought about his clan leader paying.

Originally posted by BLReidOne thing, if you look at some of the banned players comments they sound like idiots. Particularly the one with the obviously bogus Avatar.

David's comments are quite inciteful and sound like they are coming from someone who really knows chess.

Originally posted by General PutzerHe probably does. But claiming that he writes articles in English isn't correct.
'Allo, I am jean hebert, i am the master of the chess....evan though I live in za Canada, my English is the not so good....we speak only french in canada, don't you know?
The real Hebert speaks English as well as you or I, I'd wager.
