Apparently admin would rather that is not discussed. A forum moderator should have put the reason for the thread closure as the last post in the thread. Now we can only guess again.. where have I heard that before.
Well yes pard I did, but nobody's talking about him any more ;-) Just can't think of anything Skeets would relish more than all this attention!

Originally posted by ZygalskiAre you claiming Dave did? When exactly?
Not really, no.
60/75/85% is the extreme upper end of human capability.
GM Skeeter achieved a greater match rate than this.
[b]Skeeter's stats can be considered overwhelming evidence of engine use.
65/80/90% for top 1/2/3 matches should be considered blatant engine use in many games over time.
Do you honestly think the likes of David Tebb would report skeeter to Admin for engine use if they weren't fairly certain she had used an engine?[/b]

and then hide behind the "private group forum" defense.

Originally posted by gambit05I remember a few years ago DT did mention he was amazed at how few draws she had, saying something along the lines of "i don't know how she does it"...i took that to mean he might have had suspiscions about how she did. Don't ask me to find the thread though, it could be 5 years old now...
I don't think David Tebb has ever claimed that he has reported Skeeter for engine abuse in chess. All information I am aware of is that s/he was a borderline case.

Originally posted by ZygalskiInterestingly, I have exactly the same post in my mind. However, the last sentence didn't state that he reported her/him for engine abuse.
The last sentence of the DT post in the skeeter thread, 25th Sept 08, OTB players suggests otherwise, so far as I can tell.
Originally posted by ZygalskiYou're just spilling beans all over the place. Why not have David Tebb and other ex-mods post this stuff if they even want it shared.

It was posted in private... "I can tell you what was said, but it will remain private."
Are you loony?

Thread 9161 March 2004.
Dave make his quote about Skeeter's lack of draws.
Now how do we interpretate the rolling eyes?
Dave hinting at something.
Dave mocking Skeets because she had recently lost a drawn game?
Dave spotting the number of drawn games Skeets wins by timeouts.
For the last reason you have to see....
Thread 10994 May 2004
Skeets getting it in the neck for claiming time outs plus an explanation
of how she does it.
(no she does find out where they live and murder them...it's far worse than that!)
At the end Skeets and Slow Pawn are big friends.
Then you read Slow Pawn's profile.....and see what clan he founded.
(you could not make it up.)
