Heres a thought, is Eric really cheater_1 in descise, just to keep the place lively?

Who's Eric?

who's cheater_1?

I believe you mean disguise...and no, no way.

Eric could keep this place alive and well with all of his remarks specifically directed at Cheater_1.

I'd love to answer these questions, but sometimes I forget who I am.

Honestly, what would make ANYONE think that? There are no similarities whatsoever. It's true that this place has about as much life as a MORGUE when I'm not around. That's one reason why I try to make it interesting. I just AMPLIFY my personality and all of a sudden this place becomes a PARTY. In real life, though, I tend to hide in dark corners when more than 4 people are around.

When will chess.com implement a censor list?

Censor lists are pointless. People will always bypass it >_>

LOL! I look forward to the day a means will be available to castigate bloviating individuals that serve only their own need for attention.

TBOL, I'm not exactly sure you understood. I know perfectly well who erik is, if you know what I mean...

Um kind of makes sense.   What are Eric and his coworkers two biggest interests?

Software and chess.

cheater1s biggest interest? And in his profile he said he developed his chess engine with coworkers? An intolerable loner arrogant know it all has coworkers? Where could cheater one work where he has coworkers and spend his time working on chess software? Um? chess.com?

And why does Erik let cheater stay?

Good for business right.

Its plausible.

definitely, Eric has the big possibility of being cheater_1, why would Eric let some random guy who says he has a good chess engine get a vote chess game by himself?  Most likely, Eric was trying to test his chess engine against our brains.

Onehandgann, there always is the possiblity that maybe cheater_1 doesn't break any rules, so he's free to stay.

What does Erik have to say on this topic?

Cheater_1 this place is only a morgue when you get on the site.  Who believes what you say? lol  "Hide in Dark corners".  I really doubt it, seriously, you just put on a show to fool people.  It's painfully obvious

I could believe it possible.

I doubt it is Eric, what pathetic human being would create an alter ego to keep his website alive.

nope. he showed up one day on the site and is who he is. he doesn't break the rules and does generate some discussion. no harm done. i honestly have better things to do.

Exactly, he gets kinda busy fixing live chess and adding features for all of us to enjoy.
