Wasn't ouachita a premium member? Hopefully that will dispel some myths...
Ding! Dong! the Witch is Dead!
Sort:
I predict this thread goes for 5 pages. No, six. Ah crap. I should have said six.
Well, if unmoderated, this thread could go on for hundreds of pages, but it will get locked after a couple due to the inevitable discussions of cheating.
A scarlet letter for the erstwhile gentleman.
We will miss his lies and his F-bombs.
hmmm, waiting for all the I told you so's...
Actually, it's quite sad. I look forward to the day when the top players on this site are all above suspicion, but that is probably a pipedream.
Who was he and why did he get banned? Probably a stupid question but I haven't been here long.
I believe he was the highest rated member....i could be wrong though

he used an engine (chess computer) to cheat (make his moves for him )
I can't wait to hear from the Ouachita apologists.
I will miss him, though, as his hubris-filled posts were very fun to respond to. Hopefully the next top rated engine user likes to post, too.
OK. I didn't realise this site had such a rule but now I do. IECG and ICCF don't have such a rule for some reason.

Since you were one of those who spotted this fraud early on and was brave enough to say so to his face, you deserve a reward.
For the next day I will call you a moron and explain how smart I am.

You'll have to throw in a couple references to your superior lineage, while you're at it.
Calling him out didn't require any bravery, goldendog. Thanks anyway, though.

Why in the world should the top players not be under suspicion ?! I would always check top players first, especially when they are rated higher than titled players and have NO OTB credentials or very weak credentials...
