You state he was banned. Why? Then you say he was asked to leave. Why?
Chess_gg banned. What now?
Do you mean the cheating list? If that is so, then no matter how colorful he was in the forums, he cheated. That happens a lot on this site.

"Asked to leave" is a polite way of saying banned.
I'm sure that all those who lost games and rating points to his engine will really miss the joy, laughter etc.
People that get into forum fights on a regular basis should just give up playing chess. Make it an either/or thing. Either use the site for the discussions or use it for chess.
Johnny what thread were you in when you made a reference to the Tom Cruise movie about pre-quils ?? I saw it this mourning and someone else didn't get it.
NO, gg is a United States Veteran, and deserves a proper burial with full military honors. He smetimes came off as a cranky old bastard, but he and his wife were elderly, and starting to have health issues.

Argument is a valid form of discussion.
It is. I was being sloppy with my language. What I meant was, it may behoove those that frequent the forums to stop playing chess on this site entirely. No chess games = no way to get banned for cheating. Therefore happy posting.


About thirteen hours ago, around midnight Greenwich Mean Time, longstanding contributor "Chess gg," or "Gigi" as I called him, was asked the leave the site.
This eldery fella was one of the more entertaining and colorful members of the forum community. I am just posting this to the memory of Gigi -- a man who has brought so much joy, laughter, and intellectual debate to these halls.
Thank you for your time.
