Preposterous idea.

One's personality is not at issue unless there is some claim that that personality would cause bias. Unlike you, I have no bias that would prevent me from judging any player an engine cheat if the evidence supported that finding.

At least it is for the greater good right???

If No1 were to let info leak or go public, he would be off the team in an instant... if he even makes the team.

For people who have been received PMs from Arrakis making cheating accusations against me.
To be honest I dont like it as any honest person dont like when he is accused in wrongdoing he haven`t done. I have been checked that game with the same program as he and can say that statement sbout "100%" is not true. Yes that game has high match up with Fritz, but
1)Game he does mention was tactical in which match ups are usually higher than in more positional games (did he mention that in other our game in which he was overplayed in more positional way that match up was much lower?);
2)I asked one well known strong RHP player if that game is suspicious or Arrakis just want to defame me and his answer was that this game is "too short to be worth analysing, once the opening moves have been discounted. I've just played through the game and it is a bit confusing, but most of the moves that I didn't understand were made by Arrakis."
About my ELO - its lowered as I` have been played only in 5-6 ELO tournaments, most of them 3-5 years ago when I played weaker than now.
About 'beating masters here at RHP on a regular basis":
1)OTB and CC are actually not the same. For example one important difference is lack of time trouble
2) Which masters does he talking about? David Tebb has ELO about 2209 - only 40 points over me. My results with him are +2 = 8. Northern Lad has at least 2300 (As I understood) - My result +2 -1 =2 .
Is it so impossible, taking into account that in local OTB tournaments I have positive scoring against FMs (with ELO about 2300) ?

Originally posted by KorchI ran the game that you're talking about through F9 and I didn't find a 100% matchup rate, nor did I find play that seemed all that suspicious. But, as you mentioned, I think there are two main problems with using that game as an example:

1.Way too short - Something like 25 moves, right?
2.It's just one game - that never proves anything.

Originally posted by cmsMasterThat game does not look suspicious at all to me (replayed manually here on the site). White made several weak moves, and Rxc6 was simply a blunder in my humble opinion, and often in those cases the response is rather straightforward. Of course, this is not the quivalent of an 'investigation', just an opinion.

Originally posted by Red NightIf you actually posted my entire thought as to why I suggested No1, or read any of his work in trying to expose cheats a couple years back, you may wish to change your mind.

I don't always agree with him, but he does know how to analyze the game, and figure out the difference between a great player and a great engine.
What is needed is someone who can do that. I for one would be very glad to have someone with his qualifications.

It seems to be a sign of the times.
Cheating accusations are rampant.
This is one of the reasons why we have to find some game mods that are trustworthy like GateCrasher, Tony, David, etc.
The site can't function without a reliable game mod team.

Originally posted by cmsMasterYeah I ran it through fritz 11 and didnt see anything, he matched up alot more than arrakis, but he's alot better. If arrakis is that worried about why doesnt he just challenge him to a 1 minute bullet on the blitz site here.
