I saw initial analysis of your moves, and how they match engine moves, several weeks ago. I would suggest that you either need to apologize and promise not to do it again, or mount a rather more serious defence/explanation of what you and [almost] everyone else knows the data show.
I think we should see the data on the top 50 players on this site as a
comparison. Don't you think that would be fair before making a final
judgement?

Actually the 'investigation' was done by people who are experienced in rooting out engine users, not me. I've just seen the data. Countless people have been caught over the last decade. As a matter of interest, josephw, if what the data on RJHinds do show what they appear to show, what should he do, do you think?

Who else, besides you, is accusing RJ of using engines?

Frankly, I don't care if one uses an "engine" or a crystal ball or voodoo or anything else to play chess. So what? What's the big deal? I don't consider it cheating. If that's the problem. I really don't see how one can cheat at chess anyway.

I play to win. If my opponent wants to wear a tutu and eat buggers while fondling them selves, if they think it will help, I don't care.

If those running this website think it is best that I leave. I will not
object, even though I believe everyone should be checked in the same
way. It does not seem fair to single out a few people to check and
leave everyone else alone. If it is to be fair to all the same standards
must apply to all. Can't there be some type of central control computer
program, that can automatically check for engine use for all players from
the time they start playing on this site, to weed out those with what is
considered too high a percentage of matchups?

The "big deal", I suppose, is the web site's TOS.

What do you care about the TOS? You don't even recognise or acknowledge God's Word when you hear it.

But the TOS? Now that's a big deal!

Well it's true to say I have a different belief system from you josephw, but we are all members of this community and subject to its TOS, no?

FMF - it is obvious now - RJ Hinds is only answerable to the laws of God. Man made laws do not apply.

I have good news for you. I am going to have to spend a lot of time
over at my other house getting it cleaned out and repaired in order
to get it ready for sell. That means I will not have all the time I do now
to concentrate on making the best moves I can find. This should mean
my engine matchup rates should be less. Maybe, you will be happy that
a moran like me is not playing great chess anymore. Also I am going to
start playing at a Chess club each week, which means I may not even
have as much time to post my rapid dog comments that you object too.
Happy days are here again. HalleluYah !!! 😏

P.S. I will have to travel 74 miles to get to that chess club so it will
take me about 3 hours round trip. So that night I willnot be posting
at all. Happy days, right?

You have a belief system? I'm shocked!

Of course we're subject to the TOS. It's their web site isn't it?

Thats good for you. l hope you get a huge price for it.

(beyond the rules of this site covered in the TOS) l couldn't give a toss what you do with your games. l comment on your conduct that l read - not what l do not. l will leave that for others with fargreater chess analytical abilities than mine.

l would prefer that instead of working on improving houses or your chess skills you spend time working on improving your attitude.

Are you predicting, now the data about your engine matchup rates has been publicized, that your rating is going to fall?
