playBunny: Excuse my ignorance, but how do u know when somebody is a cheat or not?

bouncybouncy: Each of those links shows the Finished Games list. If you look down the Number of Moves colums you'll see lots of games with very few moves. Open any of these and you'll see that it's been resigned. All those resignations pump up the rating of the "winner".

Looking at florin's list you can see that he's been getting a monthly boost from hitlerica since June. That took him to #1 on the ranking table recently which is when his shenanigans became noticeable. DARK PHOENIX was the newest #1 until this morning. It was easy to see that he'd been playing the same game along with his two accomplices.

playBunny: ah right, ok i understand now, I did have florin on block anyway, but that was for a different reason. I have been playing laurentiu for some time, but he will now go on my blocked lisyt. I cant be bothered with people like this.

bouncybouncy: It has got unreal the amount of CHEATERS on this SITE!!!

"Have Fun": To be honest, i never thought people could be like that, maybe i am just the type who like to see the best in everybody, how wrong can we be aye

playBunny:  That's interesting, and pitiful.  It doesn't appear that florin has been stripped of his BKR -- which is relevant to me since I challenged him when he reached #1.  I wonder what will happen with that match.

alanback: I doubt that Fencer will change any of the actual BKRs. It's probably too complicated a web to unravel and when Fencer eventual gives us a real rating system and recalculates all the BKR histories (lol, are you reading this Filip?! ), having to program in such anomalies would be a real pain in the bum, I expect.

It is a pity that they've affected other's ratings, especially the lower rated players who've been leeched from, but hopefully the fact that they've no longer got any public incentive will mean that they'll stop playing that game in the future. What I'm not sure of is whether Fencer sent them a message or simply implemented the chart ban.

playBunny: "pain in the bum", LOL, what a lovely idiom....:)))

Pedro Martínez:  More of a euphemism ... the original is the idiom ;-)

alanback: LOL now what was the... original of idiom;) ME not being a educated man LOL;)

"Have Fun": Lol. It could be said that it has a lot of RRRs. ;o)

alanback: I think he will play you. Maybe lower your BKR.That will get LL a little closer to you;)
