It's too bad about Fiveofswords...

Sort:
polydiatonic

He just skulked away after he got called out about lying.  It's too bad because other than the fact he was an serial exagerator about his rating, his posts were usually pretty good.

I don't know this user. So are you saying that somebody said Five of Words was a liar, and then Five of Words disappeared like Keyser Soze? I've been called worse and I'm still here :)

FiveofSwords got the boot? Good riddance...

The difference being FiveofSwords was actually lying. Wink

Can you get canned for lying? Surely not.

I've got the fear now, I'm not actually Maradona.

No, Maradonna, but when you get rumbled you tend to not want to stick around...

It's hard to see the point of this thread.

 What's a hero fax? Sorry, but I don't know what that is...Embarassed

A little confused, did he leave or was he booted?

I couldn't decide, but I wondered ever since I first saw it-- was his avatar a picture of Jeffrey Dahmer?

How do you know he lying, and why did mastermater1 get the boot?

Somebody formerly booted with a new account, I believe.

awesome that the mastermater_1 is gone again.  what a douche that guy was.  although it's interesting that chess.com seems more annoyed by douchebags than players with 3000 ratings and higher.

Some guy who claimed to be 2300 strength but had a <1600 performance rating in a recent tournament.

Got called on that and called Reb a clown, saying he'd beat him otb.

edit: Is that better or worse than when ouachita called Reb a peasant?

From 'mater_1's now deleted blog. Some thought he was 'doc.

"It is with some trepidation that I create this blog. Creating this blog may lead to this account being deleted.

I sincerely hope that the powers that be resist the temptation (and it will be a huge temptation) to delete my entire account. I'm begging you.

First off, I have turned over a new leaf. Oh, I am still the same person as I have been in the past....arrogant and condescending. It wasn't and will never be an act. But, in 3 years, I have grown older and wiser. I have taken off some of the harsh edges--grinded and polished them. Learned from my mistakes. Learned to not bring up the past and move forward."

I remember the guy's postings, very arrogant alright.  Pity I missed the excitement.

i AM on holiday so i've missed a bit.  i think i'll call reb a stripper and complete the cycle.

Someone needs a better teacher.

     The thread in which the argument took place was titled "D Class vs. GM?  What's
a guy to do?" by Strani.

     By the way, the guy sure is taking a lot of heat considering all he did was talk a
little trash.  I don't think he's a 2300(maybe a 1700) but just about everyone here
talks trash(including myself) in the forums. 

     He always talked chess and spent a lot of time analyzing games and yet I see
people nominated for "Chess Player Of The Month" that never contribute to the
forums in a positive way.

     There are far worse statements made on Chess.com. than anything this guy
has said to get angry over that's for sure.
