What exactly did cheater_1 do till his account got closed?

how did he cheat?

or did he just show off a little?

or is Erik just angry with his username and suspects something fishy?

The man lied outright that he had been forced to resign a game that he lost fair and square. Erik said to recant, Cheater_1 defied.

Funny, I just read my first cheater_1 posting a couple days ago(why an american will never again be a world champion)...and got very curious as to what this character was all about because of some of the responses to his blogs.  I was going to probably spend several hours reading through everything in the future when I could be playing some chess.  Thanks to Erik I won't have to waste my time!

I have heard that cheater_1 had been pushing Erik's buttons even before that, so he was in dangerous waters already.

That was still no reason to force him to delete his account. If cheater_1 told the truth, which I believe he did, erik sent him harassing emails denying him a pre-negotiated vacation. Even if that is untrue, it does not matter if one is to make excuses for a loss. It is immature and unprofessional to ban someone because of that.

In your opinion.

IMO, Erik must have had his reasons and I would back him over anyone called cheater_1.

It amazes me that there are so many topics about him tbh.

he didn't seem that interesting to me tbh, but i am kind of new to this site so I haven't seen much of what he did in the past.

well i would like Erik 2 tell me here instead of u guys =)

Then ask Erik.

The guy was nothing but a troll.

Best joke I've heard today:

"If cheater_1 told the truth, which I believe he did"

maybe cheater_1 called himself that for a joke or something.

you are right amac7079,cheaters wont admit they are cheaters like that by making it so obvious.
