So on his say so, person XYZ becomes a hustler? Naming people on forums can lead to claims for defamation, you do not need to be Kavanagh QC to know the consequences of libel/defamtion. Why are cheating accusations not allowed on this very forum?
Most of us here are from a different geographic region so telling us any such allegations is pointless.
Edit: I realized I was wasting my time arguing with the pc police and deleted it.

- why cheating accusations are not allowed on this forum(s)
- why you have not approached the USCF or the tournament director of the relevant tournament. What will you achieve via the route chosen rather than via the appropriate official route? Gossip value?

Are you insane? 🙂
Why dont you go remove the Kamsky and Short names from that thread.....its exactly the same.

Originally posted by NordlysIndeed, I think z00t should write to chessbase and ask them to remove all the names from each article, after that he can start on the news channels etc.
Now that you mention it... I think the World Championship should be played anonymously, too.
z00t I have a gold star for you if you can tell me why its not wrong......Im sure if you spent at least a few mins thinking about it you will get there.

Chessbase doesnt make allegations at all, it does however contain reports from people that allegations have been made. Topalov's teams allegations would be a good place to start if you want to look....
You seem to be comparing Arrakis to chessbase. Well the comparison would be Chessbase to RHP and Arrakis to a reporter.

Originally posted by BedlamI think the main misunderstanding here is that most of us would consider it a compliment to be called a chess hustler.
Ahhh right I see it now, if I put into the Kamsky and Short thread that Nigel Short was a hot headed foo, you would protest again?

If you made such a serious baseless defamatory allegation against Short, I would be obliged in notifying him.
[b]While you are at it, cut the crap. It is one thing to report on a conversation. It is another to make a cheating accusation/slur on another.[/b]

If you notice my style of posting I hate spam/crap posted in the Only Chess forum (that kind of crap can go in the General Forum). I also dislike people who argue when their point is lost. I thought you were more sensible than that Bedlam.
Perhaps over the holiday period when I'm less busy we can "fight it out" over the board and see who plays wwind assisted chess?
