Today, one my friend showed me a profile of one coach here http://www.chess.com/coach/steve-colding    ; " You don't have to be bored to learn to play well, so give up boring old GM Rachmannivscoffvili and learn with a teacher who has been where you are now."

I understand that this is about me.I don't like this joke.I think,he coach only for money.This is not very good from this man.I don't know who is he,he don't know who I am.Why he writted this is in his profile??Admin,please take steps.

It's not necessarily aimed at you. It looks more to me that he meant it as a generic eastern European name.

Looks very close to the bone to me, no offense was meant I'm sure but he's effectively got the GM's  name there plus a generic piece on the end. 

Yes, but he's also spelt it Rachman and got "off" in there. I'm guessing the real inspiration comes from the composer Rachmaninoff. Unless there is a personal history I can't see why he would just target the GM like that :/

Didn't know the composer played chess :-)  You're probably right  just an unfortunate coincidence. 

Aleksandr, I see that you have the "big title" by your name.... Grand Master!

I don't see that you have much to worry about... who is going to give greater credence to some random user? Relax, report the incident via the link at the bottom of the page, and smile as you press enter.

First I this is not a slander of you but probably a bad slander of Roman Dzindzichashvili,

Does that sound a bit more sensible?

Ray, Mr colding is an NM and a well known coach, have a look at the profile!

He does not mention your name .. real name or online username, so why think he is talking about you personally ?

He could have been just using that name as an example and not a personal attack.

 Paranoia is powerul.

Rachmann and Rakhmann are awfully close and given that there is a GM Rakhmann on this site it's a bit unfortunate and he's right to question it. I'm sure NM Colding didn't mean any living person and he will change it, if he'd said GM Karparovskivilli and Kasparov was on this site as a coach people might have got the wrong impression too. 

Who is Judge, here, and for what Case number?
