Why is RJH still here?

He submitted himself to an analysis of his games to see if there was evidence of engine use, and said he would accept the verdict, and although the verdict was the analysis indicates idiotic engine use [which is cheating according to the TOS of this site] RJHinds is still here, backpeddlling, still posting and still making chess moves.

Do you report him? Or is everyone assuming that someone else did ?


Any chance of banning him from chess , but keeping him for his entertaining posts?

I don't care if he keeps posting here. My question is why is he still here? My question to HIM is 'why are YOU still here?'

No, it makes some difference, your answer has been noted. I await future developments, if you turn out to be legit , then fine.

I just dont know why you haven't been banned from here forever- obviously there is still some doubt- or the mods aren't doing their job ...

With the total average % for those games I would have a matchup grade of D,
if these had been on tests of school papers. Proper Knob was not statisfied with
that, but wanted to accuse me of cheating so bad that he listed what he called
the the 2nd and 3rd best choices and the other guy even added the 4th best
choice. I told them that was like having a multiply choice question and saying
I got the answer rght as long as I picked one of those answers. The usual
procedure is to count the answer wrong unless you choose the best answer.
Of course, my logic is illogic and irrational to them. Proper knob claims I got
a better matchup than grandmasters. However, I bet him that Kasparov who lost
that final match with IBM's Deep BLue only lost by one game, could have played
as good as the computer if he could have set up a side analyze board and moved
the pieces around for up to three days before making an actual move against
Deep Blue. But Kasparov had to play by regular OTB rules and actually beat
Deep Blue in their first match.

thats another nonsense, simply because you did not play the first choice engine move
every time does not mean that you did not play the second or third does it. The fact
is, on average your move choices were more engine like than that of Magnus Carlsen or
the former correspondence chess world champions, now how are we to explain it in any
other terms other than, your a pumkin eater? This coupled with the fact that you know
practically nothing about chess (you have not even heard of the Yugoslav attack in the
dragon, the most played Sicilian variation of all time, and the fact that you cannot state
with any certainty any human ideas about chess) id say your pretty much busted.

You may be different from me. but if I were to cheat I would be trying to win
and I would be playing the best move I could find.

cheats are quite devious, they have all kinds of methods are their disposal as you are
very well aware. Indeed, throwing in the odd loss, throwing in the odd human move
doesn't fool anyone, if you could explain your moves, you might have a case, but you
cannot.

The fact that no one really knows why you'd engage in "idiotic engine use" is not a defence of your behaviour, in and of itself.

Just because I don't play or don't know the name of every variation of a certain
chess opening doesn't prevent me or anyone else from being able to make good
moves when enough time is given for study and analyzing the moves before
the move has to be made.

we are not talking of any variation, we are talking of the most played variation of the
Sicilian of any variation ever invented, its the main line of the Dragon for goodness
sake and has been since the 1960's. You not only are capable of making good moves,
the moves you make are chess engine quality, more so than Magnus Carslen or the
former correspondence chess champions of the world, now how are we to explain that?

Why did you accept Zygalski's verdict that you were cheating?

Maybe he thrives on antagonism ..

Why are you here RJ? For your spiritual insights?

For your scientific skill?

Perhaps you are like me and have only limited credit so you can only waste lots of time on here and no where else on the net?

You said to me out and out that you have never used an engine in any of your rhp games. How do you respond to FMF who has called you out and said that you have already been busted?

Are you trying to tell us that you set up a board on the side and work out moves for days ("3 days" ), before you come up with the best move? Is that really what you do with your time? I didn't think they had the dole in the US.

edit: I just checked your latest update on your profile. It seems you are trying to put out there that you do not do well when forced to make moves quicker.
Again, it seems that update is just there to cover something.

You were doing well there for a moment - and then your ganja kicked in.

Thought I'd add : 😉

I tell ya , life is unpleasant when you cant even get away from it in your sleep.
Again , this is coming from personal experience, just a couple of months ago.
I was going through a rough patch emotionally, financially ...aw heck, all over.
I was just keeping it together for my kid, but at least I knew when I went to bed I could get some relief from the worldly probs I was having.
For the first night (of about 5) I had very pleasant dreams, in my dreams I travelled all over the world- where ever I wanted to go. I believe I kept wanting to goto Germany and then Africa.
On day 2 I couldn't wait til the day was over , and I thought once again my dreams would compensate my dismal time in waking life.
To my complete (kinda) surprise , I was confronted by some of the most menacing nightmares I ever had. I woke up in a cold sweat not knowing whether to go back to sleep or not. I thought "surely it'll be alright" . It wasn't . More nightmares.
So a sleepless night on night 2.
I thought that day 2 was just a hiccup and that things would get back to "normal" with my sleep.
Long story short, night 3 and night 4 were possibly even worse than night 2.
Those nights I had the sort of dreams where you keep thinking you awoken only to find yourself in another dream. To make things worse, it felt as if there was some ghastly presence chasing me.
By day 5 I was a wreck. I had averaged only 2-3 hours of sleep over the past 5 days and that was not anough for me.
Again I put on a front for my kid and made out things were fine, even though my hands were shaking as I poured my coffee in the morning.
Then all of a sudden on day 6 everything ceased. The bad dreams. And also the emotional and other problems that were plaguing my existence.

The reason for this - I learnt something in a very concrete manner.

edit: and no ganja, just a few white wines all week.

I thought he would keep his word and be fair. I am still not sure what he
means by idiotic engine use.

My kid is plagued with nightmares at present, something deep in his subconscious is clearly disturbing him 🙁
