This thread was far from trivial, but it's dead and I agree it should be left alone.

You'd be crushed like a flea, you know
Define survive - c.c would be using engines you know
Imagine what Fritz, Stockfish, Houdini AND Rybka would do to you then! (When we played vs. I think it was Anand people were probably using engines even though they weren't supposed to).
Oh plus we have all these masters - you're doomed, sorry :)
^many play vote chess; you might be surprised.
Yep! I can probably pull up at least four names from two of my groups - I bet at least 2 would play.

The question I have is, what's with the sudden recent fascination in cheater_1? The guy's been gone for years!
My explanation is: nostalgia for a time once when the chess.com forums weren't moderated as much as they are now, and great trolls has the freedom to create epic threads. Now anything that's borderline controversial is deleted, so it's not our fault that trolls now aren't as great as trolls back then.

It's fun?
Bored?
Wanted to wake up a dead thread?
cheater 1 should come back

No he shouldn't, because he would ruin his legacy. With today's mods, there's no way he can troll the way he used to without getting banned really quickly. So either he comes back and immediately gets banned again, or he tones down his trolling, and becomes just another regular troll.

Maybe, but erik glorified him as the greatest troll, so he might show some leeway
We should figure his identity
Good times...
no, really, we should figure out who he is. He lives in the Midwest. But what's his name?

chess is a FINITE game, SOLVABLE, and therefore there is ONE correct move for every given situation
Your lack of logic never cease to amaze me. Solvable does not imply that there's a single correct solution to a problem, it implies that there's AT LEAST one correct solution to the problem. You should study some philosphy, it'd help you stop confusing what you personally think with what logically follows from something.
For example here a8R, a8Q, d8R, d8Q, d8N leads to mate in 3. Wich one is the ONE correct move? You realise of course that the ammount of "right" moves is very likely to be even higher earlier in the game. Also you make it sound like solving chess have anything at all to do with chess engines, it doesn't. If someone solves chess it will be from a extention of the endgame tablebases, chess engines as they are designed today can never give more than a approximation of what could be the right move.
