Thanks for this. It was good to hear the whole thing read out.dkappe wrote: ↑Tue Oct 11, 2022 2:38 pmAgadmator seems to be the only streamer/YouTuber who has kept a level head. He takes on the Maxim Dlugy statement, with emails. Vice doesn’t come off so well.dkappe wrote: ↑Tue Oct 11, 2022 2:11 amFrom Vice. We don’t have the full text of the emails, just Vice’s paraphrasing.In one email, Dlugy says that in 2017, he was playing in a tournament on Chess.com in front of his students, and was crowdsourcing moves from them. (This is, itself, a violation of Chess.com's fair play rules.) "I am now positive, that one of the kids, was using an program on his cell while this was going on," Dlugy wrote. "As you can imagine, I liked many of his moves, though I had no idea that he was using assistance to generate them.” Dlugy admitted in a later email that it was not the only time he cheated.
My suspicion that chess.com takes a 'rolling set of games' (20, 25, 100...whatever) looks to perhaps be borne out as Max included the correspondence/apology from Danny R who looked into the 2019 (?) 'cheating' and replied that his team was inadvertently taking the old data into account when they banned him then. In the end, perhaps a minor thing; but that in itself doesn't look good for chess.com.
