The Championship won't be awarded until all the games have been thoroughly rinsed. In 2009, it took months before Sealion was awarded the title. So much for that. Shortly after, he was banned from the site.
So the Mods will be churning through TK's games, making sure they're nicely clean.
The 2011 event will start whenever, I guess. Probably this coming month. Question is: who will bother entering?
Maybe I will need to revise my vote for the number of bannings from the 17 I had guessed.
Based on current entries I think that my revised vote will be 1/20th of the total number entered.
There is one dodgy looking person already entered 😛

I tentatively entered but will be watching to see how many blatant cheats are in before deciding whether I'll actually compete this year.

Now, I've just had a look at this Green Clubs and some 3-4 weeks ago he was getting a hiding from his 1400-1500 contemporaries. Then, after a brain transplant from a GM he's now defeating 1800, a couple of 1900, and not to mention the 2000 win and a draw, rated players. WTF ?
How obvious does it need to be ? I'm going to do a Tom Hanks here ( Saving Private Ryan ) and I quote " Well, there's no easy way to say this so I'm just gonna say it...". This aforementioned entrant in the 2011 Championship is a blantant engine user and a cheat.
There, I've said it. No doubt I'll get a suspension but it needs to be said.
Sorry no1m- and adramf- but I don't have your patience.
See you all around sometime ( I hope )

Another 500 days, eh?
Is it worth it?
I helped that player on his way up, but unfortunately I played so poorly I can't testify whether I was playing a person or not. 😞

How does a 2100 player lose so badly? 😛

As to his improvement, perhaps he read a book that guarantees that you'll "Play like a Master". 😉
