In fact I think that a determined person could do this for years and would probably at some point be banned because of engine use, since he would be bound to meet an engine and would just copy the moves...
A determined cheater can't be perevneted from cheating. Or would anybody vote for having tests for people at a given rate, to determine if they are at the rating correctly. How about the grandmasters sitting down and discuss games with the probably delinquent? And who would volunteer and what about the people who would not like to be tested like that?

A message to tom tom:
An old man that I used to work with gave me some of the best advice that I have ever heard. It really is a gem considering the source.
" Never volunteer anything to anyone. Your mouth will get you into more trouble than your butt can ever get out of. "
Words to live by. 🙂

Actually, I have never seen a point in cheating. Why would anyone spoil someone's fun for a worthless rating?

Honestly, I think he was just joking. I remembered another post where he said he talked to his pieces before he moved them. He was OBVIOUSLY joking, and I found it quite funny. I think it's just a case of some things that you don't joke about. That's what's bringing him all the (unnecessary) heat.

Very Funny
Still Laughing LOL
In one of the posts, I was talking about he said I say * ( I forget what) before I move my knights. I thought it was weird but I guess not.
The very next post said " That is weird."
LOL

I'm not kidding but you really should LISTEN to your pieces,
especially before making pawn moves.
A couple of months ago I saw two strong players going over
a 1600 player's game in the pub.
He had just played a pawn move that turned his QB into a lump
of useless wood.
"Nice move. Did you ask your Queen's Bishop about that move before
you played it?"
This is the Rowson influence seeping through to other players.
Rowson in is print saying he talks and LISTENS to his pieces.
I've started listening.
Before this game I heard my a8 Rook say:
"Oh No, It's this nutter, he always sacs me just so he can gain
time to castle to play his little tricks."
If you look at it White is was forced to shed his Queen.
I went to win without any drama.
I'm afraid to say that I've looked upon my a1 and a8 Rooks
as developing bait.
