Sort:
LogoCzar

cheater_1 was chess.com's biggest troll (at least from my understanding, I never met many) and said many funny things. 

He used to argue with eric publicly, start many controvercial topics, admitted to cheating, and even convinced chess.com to play him and his self made engine in a vote chess game! 

Here I plan to post as many of the best quotes from him, and some exchanges with eric maybe.

If anyone has any better trolls they know, feel free to post quotes from them too.

I just found him yesterday and found him hilarious, just wanted to share, let me know what you think

You can find him here:

One of his his forums was titled: 

YOU people dont deserve ME.

It got 25,000+ views when chess.com was much smaller, and 230+ comments.

Found here:

His first quote is here:

How's it been without me posting here lately? BORING as heck I'll bet. I've lurked about incognito and watched the quality of posts deteriorate without ME keeping you all on task. However, I'm going back underground because I have determined that you all NEED TO GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER or my appearances will amount to nothing more than cameos now and then.

Rest assured, I'll be watching.

 

eric almost immidiately responds:

here is the scenario:

cheater_1 comes to post. he says something rediculous. a bunch of people bite the bait and start a firestorm. cheater_1 sits back and laughs at how powerful and manipulative he can be. hooray for him. but then it dies down. and people forget about him. and then one day after a long, boring, and meaningless week he is feeling lonely and impotent and it comes to him "oh, i know where i can be popular and people will pay attention to me - at Chess.com!" so then he comes back, posts something inflamatory, and then keeps hitting refresh refresh refresh refresh hoping someone will post.

cheater_1, i feel for you. it must be lonely sitting in your apartment all alone, watching ER re-runs, looking through pizza coupons, wishing you could act as brazen in real life as you do when online.

so here's my post to you: you had my attention for 60 seconds. let it warm your heart.

 

 

A bit later cheater_1 makes many giant essay like comments but I found a few funny quotes within them:

Why am I here? Is it attention? NO. I prefer the shadows to center stage.

 I don't seek admiration of any sort. In fact, I am just as uncomfortable when people say they want to be my friend or that I am "cool" as when they disagree with my FLAWLESS logic and say I should be banned.

 I am here simply out of selfish reasons. I am here to amuse MYSELF. You all are bit players in my puppet show. It has NOTHING to do with you all. I am playing GOD.

 If any of you were to spend a few hours with me WITHOUT knowing I was the man behind cheater_1, you would despise me. It happens on a regular basis in my life. I have grown accustomed to being shunned--so much so that I now ENJOY it.


This is all from page 1, feel free to look for yourself. The forum got 11 pages.

He once made a public rant supporting cheating - got lots of attention. This was all in the early stages of chess.com, that is why he didn't get banned for a whole year.

Here is the link:

He made a forum claiming no one could checkmate him. Lots of posts here, very funny. He also refers to the vote chess game he was playing vs chess.com

I am UNMATEABLE!!! 11478 86 12/29/08

Fellow chess freaks. I have decided that you have EARNED another post from me. Many people here are taking my advice and posting CREDIBLE posts. The lies have been dwindling. I have been noticing alot of CITATIONS from credible sources when you all decide to post something that cannot be taken for granted. Good job. Here is your reward.

Please refer to The Big Showdown group vote chess match between Team cheater_1 and Light Force as I will be using it to back up my claims. Team Lightforce was the only team on this site that had the courage to go toe to toe with me, so please give them a hand.

As you all know, I possess chess skills that far exceed even ANAND. I can hear you all laughing now, but it is true. If ANAND were to sit across from cheater_1 and his UNMATEABLE program CANNIBAL 37, he would LOSE. As you all know, in my nearly 1 million online games, I have never been checkmated once and have beaten 3 GMs in my life, and the GM games were 40/120. LEGIT TOURNEY GAMES.

Now, listen up. I am not making the claim that I will never lose a game on time, or take a loss because I was FORCED to resign as I was in our first vote chess game by team chess.com (bullies that they are). I am saying that I simply cannot be checkmated in a game of chess by any HUMAN, team of humans, computer program, team of computer programs, or any combination of the previous.

As many long time members of this site know, I employ my own chess knowledge (1950 uscf with 30 years of playing the game), A super chess program that I wrote that knows how to draw even the toughest of opponents (it's win percentage is 3% its loss percentage is ZERO%, and its draw percentage is 97%), and an extensive understanding of psychology that allows me to manipulate my opponents. Combine these elements and you have me...THE UNMATEABLE ONE.

Please refer to The Big Showdown now. Look at the board. Do you all remember my number one chess COMMANDMENT? ATTACK THE CENTER NO MATTER WHAT IS HAPPENING TO YOU. Ignore attacks on your pieces elsewhere. DO NOT defend in ANY circumstance unless there is a check upon you. Look at my pieces PUNISHING the center. Look at how my king is running about without a care. I am dividing and conquering. Look at my development, it is like a spear pointing at their heart. Look at my IMPENETRABLE pawn wall. I dont care a hoot about his king. Going for the king is not what it's about.....at this point.

Now, Team lightforce is no slouch. Last I heard there were dozens of people on that team, many running deep fritz and rybka. Look at how just little old me and my homemade program LURED them in. Like a spider luring an ant. They want my king so bad that they and their "commercial" chess programs couldn't see what I had in store for them. Do you see it? They just LOST their rook when I get my turn. I am attacking the Queen AND the ROOK. Too bad I'm not planning on going on vacation so you can DENY me a vacation and take the "win" like team chess.com did. SORRY.

17 moves into the game and it's all but OVER. DOZENS of top notch computer programs couldnt manage to pull off even a draw with me. Heck, my win percentage may go from 3% to 3.5% now.

Remember my rules. NEVER DEFEND, The top chess players in the world were NEVER known for their defensive playing. Develop your pieces toward the center, or at least have them attacking central squares. The fianchetto is more often than not the kiss of death when developing pieces. Push to the center, good things will happen. King safety is overrated. Use the king as bait. Bring him into the fight and gain an advantage.

I suspect team lightforce will resign shortly. When they do, is there any TEAM out there that has the GUTS to go toe to toe with the UNMATEABLE ONE?

Really? I like him. I also personally messaged him on this:

[Eric feel free to delete this if you don't want this public]

I honestly do not remember. I think the deal was he had to admit to losing the vote chess game (which he DID), or he would be banned. I think he opted for banning.

Oh yeah, was he banned? Or did he leave?

Hahaha. Funny you found that. Well, he was really an egomaniac to be honest. Not very honest at the end of it all. But he sure did put on a big show! Does make me chuckle and brings back fond memories of the early days...

Once again mentioned in this forum: cheater and another staff commented

cheater_1 

Now what would possess you all to say something like that? ERIK is mean spirited towards me, ridicules me, kicks me when I'm down, abuses his power and manipulates me and then goads all you people to laugh at me. Trust me, we are 180 degrees the opposite and NOT the same person.

As for your other comment, I admit that I'm not humble - and neither is anyone else on my list. You can't be a great troll if you're too humble.
