Originally posted by David TebbI thought about this but see that that only gets something done if you get the person to admit they are using an engine. Since only one person has admitted it it would do no good. Though I know this way could start a mess I would still be happy knoing that players have had a chance to see these names and decide for themselves what to do. And for the one unnamed guy like i said I do like him, had about 4 games with him, didnt think anything at all until he told me he would definately beat dscp in their second game. From the looks of their first game and the fact I had beaten him twice fairly easily, to me atleast, and still had two other games going against him which were clan matches. Then came this sudden level of play which, not to put him down, I knew right away he wasn't capable of, and in the game with dscp his play did the same thing and he would have drew against him had dscp not left the site and lost via timeout. Drew one against me as well and lost the other but the new strength of play allowed him to drag it on for a bit longer. There's human factors and there's computer factors and that was a computer factor, but I checked it to be sure, figured out exactly where he started using an engine in our two games and the one with dscp. He's good but not that good. And I havent checked him out lately but hope that he stopped and realized it was wrong.
I think you're being a little optimistic if you believe that most of the people you named won't say anything. Although some won't know they've been accused, because they don't visit the forums, so won't be in a positon to defend themselves. However I expect a lot of the people you've accused will go beserk.
Yes, your references to an unamed Met ...[text shortened]... g them is the way to go about it. It would have been much better to send a PM to Russ.

Only person who seems pissed off is you. Everyone else has been discussing the topic like normal level headed people, while you on the other hand are being petty and immature. So firstly I say to you grow up man no need to act like a little kid. If you aact like a child you will only be treated like a child. And like I said I didn't share it was more l ...[text shortened]... t wanted here on this one and the mods already don't like you haha. Oh, and have a nice day :-)
Regarding your last post my dear Trackhead, I am not in the mood for starting to mud-fight, so will just let other people judge your way of putting words.
The fact is that with a rating of over 2200 you would almost inevitiably have an international rating, but you chickened out with your last post giving evidence of such - No I am not accusing you of cheating here, but it does surprise me that such a great player (and Trackhead is the current number 3) fails to provide the evidence that would clear him of all possible accusations

Truly, he has made some serious allegations, which at the end of the day may prove to be unprovable, but who would draw such unwelcome attention and chargrin upon themselves save those whom act primarily from the strength of their own convictions. I say hear him out, give him fair voice and arguement and let those so named respond with reasoned debate which by default does not include others outside the terms of reference.
That's hardly the truth... The whole tone of this thread is degrading and disrespectful.

I disagree.
Lets burn him like a witch has been in the middle ages, and once the flames are leaping higher and higher, lets ask him if he can justify himself ...
As that is exactly what he is doing with this thread !!

Originally posted by The Slow PawnHang on Boris. I enjoyed the No.1 RHP slot for some weeks with a +2200 rating and nobody challenged me to prove I carried a FIDE rating and nobody accused me of using an engine. Fairs fair, TRACK's obviously put some time and effort into developing a process whereby it becomes easier to expose the cheats. Shouldn't we as a chess playing community be embracing this or at least, be listening to the guy, no matter what it sounds like.

Mr Trackhead. I have not only my doubts against your accusations, but also against you. I really doubt if you are at honest as you say you are. And I am not the only one who thinks this way.
