It was not her.
"Rusudan Goletiani" was not her realy!?
very shocking...saw her destroy people in 1 min. live games...couldn't imagine you could cheat playing that quickly.
WGM Ms Goletiani should sue the fake Goletiani for civic damages. [so should chess.com] It is more than about cheating at chess.
Unless they used a really good chain of anonymiser-proxies etc... [specially one with an off-internet link in the chain..] in which case one has to just take it on the chin and move on... titled players dont have to send physical proof to chess.com???
Well the CIA could *maybe* get an ID on them but why should they? [Maybe it *was* an intlligence agency testing something out... ]
She was not a computer, i played her and she made mistakes a computer wouldnt. I won a pawn and has a superior position, but lost on time.
im really impresed by this i also played a few games agains this person (i lost all of them xD) and it wa really strong, a shame it was a fake, well at least the games were good. if some of the staff memebers can tell..., how do you guys found out she was a fake?
I'm actually more curious about the psychology of the faker. Why would someone get a thrill from pretending to be her? Weird.
It was deffinitelly a good player, master level, and didn't use programs for playing, I think, for I looked at a few games and I saw he/she made some mistakes. Why he/she used a name of real person, is a mystery.

He/she made some mistakes because of the usage of a lobotomized engine, such as SlowBoe from ICC. Unfortunately such cheats are impossible to detect only by examining the moves.
I made a mistake in the topic name - "hot" instead "not".
Freudian typo?
It's really sad to have players cheating like that. It's a game of personal achievement. How could anyone gain any satisfaction out of artifially raising a number such as the rating? It makes no sense.
I am confused? Has this persons account been closed for using someone else's name? Or for cheating? Or not being able to back up their WGM claim?
I have observed her games and also messaged her for her opinion on complicated Idea's in certain positions, notably the Human v Prog vote game. She has always explained, responded and played in a manner that was consistent with being a top notch player!
it was not WGM Rusadan who was operating the account so it's someone who was using her name. I played her/it twice and agree her comments and play were consistent with being a top player her moves were not particulalry engine like, unlike some people whom I've played. Very weird. She/it invited me to play some games when i was in New York, might have been interesting lol.

RusudanGoletiani is a faker!?
ACCOUNT CLOSED FOR CHEATING
This member's account was closed because they were found to be cheating. Chess.com does not tolerate any kind of cheating including: multiple accounts, unfair computer assistance, outside help on games, etc.
I played her, and I lost, however in a hard batle and was not angry. She is WGM - well-known person - is it possible that it was not she, but a cheater? Please give us more information!
