Players Giving False Names & Misrepresenting Their Playing Stength - Page 2 - OzChess

Well, maybe just famous for a day.. here are some other sites that have run the story, in some fashion or other:
ChessBase.com - Chess News - Female grandmaster wins Hamilton Rookies Shield!
Steve Giddins' BCM blog: Tournament raider
The Closet Grandmaster
Lara Stock - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Father and daughter play (and win) rookies tournament under false names : ChessVibes
Doubleroo: Rookies Cup Raider

All have a slightly different take on it. And chessbase didn't name the people, which chessvibes thought was silly. And Steve Giddins took a hard line. The story may appear in CHESS magazine (UK) some time soon as well.

The Hamilton site has so far about 2000 (edit 10/3: 8000) hits for this story...750 from chessbase readers alone (and counting).

Now if just a small fraction of that number came to Hamilton and played in some Hamilton events I would be happy.

4. Following proof of identity, name them in all relevant publications.

These players are thieves. It is important that chess communities in all countries to know who is in their midst.

Remember that your personal reputation and your club will be negatively effected if the thieves are not pursued. Always try to do what is right and have no regrets.

Good luck !

You're being too hard on them. I am sure they have learned from their mistake.

Actually I toned it down from, "Kidnap them, kill them and then post the video on Youtube under the title "Chess cheats get pwned"."

about 5+ years ago it would have helped matt get into a major comp or two if he had used a false name

You do suffer from incontinence, don't you?

That's what all the ladies at the Byron Bay retirement centre said, but AC denies it was him and says it was some other old grandpa.

In any event, the young fresh out of university nurse was less than impressed, and shortly thereafter she embarked upon a new career - this time in office administration.

Hahhahahahahaha,

This story just got so much more interesting! Chess is for life my friends, not just for Neo-cons who want to play after work!!

Doubleroo

cheers,

Exposure you cannot buy. Scandals are priceless for normalising minority groups.
