Na6?]) or MaryAnn in Game 1625906 (a 2100 player should probably know that KRP(h)KR is drawn).
That is the second most blatant piece of engine use evidence that I have ever seen. The other was a set piece game XanthosNZ played out a pawjn down to prove the draw. It had been debated in the forums and one of the 2000+ engines users said they would "give it a shot" to win it since they were a pawn up... heck it might have been the same person...

Two people have been banned under 3c; harrassment of another site member, which I personally feel is a more serious offence than cheating. What entertained me is that one of them called himself IGOT THE LAST WORD. Looks like he didn't.

Game 2572613
Game 179073
Still an engine may misevaluate dynamic compensation if that is any comfort…

Go ahead and boast! Now, people complain about how many people cheat. I use to complain too, but now that the Lord has shown me the truth, I know now that chess for fun is different from chess for blood. A lot of people cheat because they want to be the best, to show up their buddies. So, that players online will worship them... that is until they find out they are cheating. haha!!! It's all a hoax! Better to dedicate our life to the Lord Jesus Christ and play chess for fun on the side. None of us will ever be a Bobby Fischer, and I wouldn't want to be him anyway. What love does he have that I don't have or can't have? It's all right there in the Bible. Bobby is the ultimate example of how obsession in one area can bring you to your knees and leave you spiritually empty and exiled from your own country.
two or three top players removed every month ... but I guess the number must be higher ...

Yeah, it's only chess. That is true. I'm glad it is. LOL! But, if it's only chess, why did Alekhine destroy hotel rooms? Why did Morphy go insane? Why have people shot each other over a single game? It may be a game for you, millerman, and if it is, I'm glad it is a game for you. But, for the rest of us, it's not just a game. It is a war of wits and wisdom. When I checkmate someone, I'm telling them subconsciously, "I am stronger. I am better. I am wiser at this moment than you are. I OWN YOU!" A game? Better think twice! Fischer said, "I love to see them squirm!"

Some of the games posted here to support engine use are just so blatently obvious. Genuinely strong players just would not play that way. I guess sooner or later such an abuser will be caught out with these "mistakes" and the rest of us do not need to worry about giving away anything here as they won't be bothered to read these threads - that is too much like hard work (might as well actually study the game).

Did you watch a game of Trains44 while it was in progress?
I hope that is a question. Please forgive me for my bad English.
Certainly the game appeared familiar to me.
... but what relevance is it anyway?

I was waiting for you to clear it up and restate your comment, before someone else picked it up and might have accused you of 3a), so I was trying to save you. Now you have done so and I feel fine.
No hard feelings about a strange sounding question, I hope.

Exactly.

I wouldn't be surprised if someone accused me of infringing TOS 3(a) to 3(z) inclusive - there is always some idiot out there with nothing better to do.
Although, of course, I could have been a member, left and come back although I was not and have not. I hadn't heard of RHP until it was mentioned on radio 2 "Web site of the day" in the spring last year.
I wish I had never heard of it. It is taking up too much of my time.
