Not to start rumors, though there's room for them in this community, Who is Cheater_1?  I don't mean the creative names that you call him him as though he were your cat eating your freggin' plant again. Freggin' cats.  But the human error between the keyboard and the chair?  My guess?  I say he's Erik.  Both are excellent writers that use metaphors to illustrate there points, and both are obviously very skilled with computers and programming.  

After a simple google search I realized that the username 'Cheater_1' is only being used at one chess site, chess.com.  Well, there was one other one, with what appeared to have only one game played.  I did find this which was humorous as well:

But he certianly has created alot of traffic to the chess.com site, which I think Erik would be rather happy about.  Maybe as well he's trying to promote purchasing chess programs?  They are also advertised on chess.com (though I haven't seen one in a bit). 

But that is my guess.  When Cheater_1 says "chess.com wouldn't survive without him," maybe he's right.

And Cheater_1, if you're not Erik, just go along with it. 

Peace,
