Cheaters and posting

But you probably earned that. 

Well, this died lol, I applaud to all the people that posted and tbh, I got my answer, more or less.

People who post tend not to cheat and vice versa.  Thanks everyone.  Alouth, hearing more opinions is always nice eh =p

I noticed a lot of them who posted and was caught for cheating.  If you join the "Cheating" forum you will find the posts.

One thing that stood out for me was that some of the cheaters were quite verbal about their opening choices.  One player here had an appalling opening, playing h5 very early on.  He had to resort to engines to "prove" his opening was any good.  He got banned a couple of days later.

Another player heavily criticized CM Streetfighter (Andrew Burnett) on the lines and ideas he gave in his book "Streetfighting Chess".  I just cracked a smile when I noticed that the player got banned for cheating just a couple of weeks after.

Then there was the sad case of a player who I actually thought was a decent player OTB and perhaps had some talent.  He was also quite verbal on the forums, giving advice to other players and also getting caught up in quite a few arguments over opening lines.  He even claimed on his profile that with his rapid level of improvement, he was going to beat a FIDE master OTB very soon.

And you will be surprised how many of them have a "coaching" page on their profile!
