Does anyone else find it highly amusing that since this tournament has started, the Who's Online page here has basically been a who's who of ProPente right now?

They are all looking in the database to see what moves they should use so they don't lose the game

Shame Shame

technically, since it's turn-based you can use any resource, so it's not exactly cheating, but it is highly suspect.

It's no use going back to yesterday, because I was a different person then.

exactly.....though not a breach in policy per se, and pretty much inherent in the nature of turnbased, nonetheless a disappointment in terms of the spirit of the challenge. A lack of purism is implied.....any player with a penchant for research can skew the outcome pretty effectively.......

I have no idea how to check who is browsing db, can anyone tell me?

I would also like if You are interested in informations about our local polish real-life tournaments. I can make a topic about them, post standing lists and wrote who is who. I am just back from another and it was interesting as allways (7,wicherek,arczi,utratos,aaru,me and more were playing!)

You can't tell who's browsing the db per se (to the best of my knowledge, that is), but when tourney moves are under way and opponents from around the world are logged on to both sites at the same time, suspicions arise

Tanja just resigned all of her games. Weird.

The thing Tanja did was the best she could do in such circumstances, I won't tell anything more about it, she knows the details, i know the details.

If you want everyone to suspect that she resigned because of foul play, you're doing a good job of it. Might as well let it out.

Let me ask again, do You want me to post standings of our local polish tournaments? You may be interested in last one, and older (i.e. 2006 champs).

Definately!......I forgot to mention that it sounded like a great idea when I edited my last post.....I caught my mistake when i tried to explain how to see who's browsing DSG instead of the db and left it out
