When I mentioned this earlier in one of our forums I was poking fun at some of the views of us users in the forums.  However it seems one of our team in the match has been banned for cheating...not sure of what type.  I've removed them from the team list for the match obviously.

I guess this is one game where "having a good engine" as the football (soccer) saying goes isn't actually a good thing.

[Edit: Scratch that.  Looks like he had two accounts.]


 i didn't spot that, I was looking at his game against Erik and basically Erik made one really bad move.  Usually the 2 accounts are obvious and used to inflate the rating more. He doesn't seem to have played himself as it were, how did you spot it?

The games I looked at were very mechanical and nearly flawless - dasguy, erik & maniac.

 didn't he lose to dasguy twice or am I losing the plot?  Against Erik his play was good but the loss was down to Erik playing a really bad move at the end.  Against maniac it goes back and forwards  and he was worse for large parts of the game.

I think it might be the draw with NM MrBill....superb endgame technique
