This is a very important issue brought up by the OP because in a thematic tournament i was playing in (ruy lopez) one of the leaders in the that tourny was banned for cheating, the problem is one of the guys he beat should be in first place because that was his only loss instead i believe he is currently in 2nd place. All wins by cheaters in tournaments HAVE to become automatic FORFEITS to maintain the INTEGRETY of the tournament this issue MUST be addressed !!    Cool

What the hell are you talking about !? This site is has a FAIR PLAY policy tell me what is fair about what is going on in some of these tournaments where people who do abide by the rules but unfortunely because of the actions of a few could cost these people tournament championships ! Cool

Sorry, I thought it was clear.  What I was talking about was that you are making demands as if you're actually in charge of something, but you're not in charge of anything.

Was that better?  Or should I try again?

I'm hosting a tournament (http://www.chess.com/tournament/sicilian-2-days-no-vacation). Everything was going fine, until yesterday chess.com closed the acount of the top player for cheating.

I don't want to debate the merits of closing this person's account, BUT: The stupid thing is that all the games he won are retained as victories! That is unfair to the players who played quickly and in good faith against this person (I myself played slowly and got 2 free wins).

Why is it not possible to simply set all of his victories to losses?

(Rough SQL code: UPDATE db SET victory = FALSE where playerid = 'cheater user id')

I know, you're going to tell me to write chess.com directly because no one reads these forums. I already tried that, so I figured I would at least make my rant here.


I agree with you totally. The goof ball's games should be all lost!!! no question if he was cheating. Don't they strip gold medals from juicers?

Take off the mask, and show yourself. You are wrong about what you are saying regarding his issue...speaking up about a clear problem that is not fair

Did you even read the posts?  Speaking up about this problem is fine, and it has been brought up before in previous threads.  My point was that if the problem has been ignored to this point by staff and is obviously not considered to be a priority, issuing demands like matey did with the tone of a spoiled Park Avenue debutante isn't going to change anything.

I'm not sure why you're so anxious to see me, but maybe I should mention that I don't swing with your gender . . .

Actually I wasn't even gonna bother (until Prawn posted that, thus indicating that there definitely was a word to look up).

So now I blame him.
