Guess What!?
Rubicant I or II is accusing me as cheater?
He said I got help from computer!!!
What do you think???

Heres what i think.. I dont believe Nori cheats.. If anyone cheated playing chess what good would it do? When i play chess and most people i know its the fact that you yourself did something.. were not playing for any kind of recognition.. and as far as i know there is no prizes or money.. She would have no reason to cheat at all.. plus if she won cheating sure we might not know but she would .. and where is the honor or fun in that? you personally get nothign from it there is no gain.. I dont know Nori personally only through the internet .. but i do know that shes a good person, and i dont believe she cheated anything..

On the otherside if she is cheating it would only make you better.. I can beat computer chess programs.. i have been out of practice for quite a while now.. but i have beaten them before..

Another point.. Nori you play chess like old people f***.. She takes her time and thinks way in advance.. she has been playing chess for long enough to be a good player.. I think Nori is an honorable person.. I wont believe she is cheating.. but if she is.. i really dont care either..

whoo hoo

I really don't care anymore...

There's no way we can know for sure, it's just a game, and I don't want to start any crap between all us. Some of the moves seem computer assisted, according to my tests. I'm hoping that nori is just that good.

I know Nori pretty well and I think she would be the last person who would cheat in a game like this. She doesn't like that kind of stuff at all.

Anyway, I went through the game up to the move that Rubicant pointed out, and didn't think it was as unseeable a move as he did, anyway, I think we should let this whole cheating thing go before it turns into a big "snowball" and goes out of control... we'll just have a big mess.

It's terrible when games turn out like this. The tournament was a lot of fun, but now that it's over, I've spent the afternoon talking to Nori and Rubicant about this... it really does take a lot of the fun away from it. I don't want the Sweet 16 tournament spoiled! Nori almost left the tournament! Come on, people, we don't need this kind of stuff.

Anyway, we just need 5 more players to start a bigger tournament... come on!!!

Nori completely demolished me that one game we played..but she also gave me many hints on how to stop her and told me why she made certain moves...so i doubt she cheats if she can say just why she made a move.

No offense here Rubicant, but I think the odds are in favor of Nori just better than you. Indeed, let's stop any speculation of cheating right here.

Nori? Cheat?

That's about as absurd as Aaron cheating. Besides, honestly, to cheat in Chess you'd have to be insaine.... and not my kind of insaine. More of the "will do anything to win" insaine. Which Nori is not.

Ah what the hell... I'll challenge Nori seems as though that position is open. I'm always up for a laugh... I haven't played chess in years and I hate the game with a vengence ever since I was told to write a basic chess game engine in Java.

Nori and I have a rather interesting bracket ready

Hey you all, just so I don't go off crashing anyone's illusions about me, Chess is really not my strength. Aaron will probably pummel me silly in round 1.

FFTactic_Boy just poke the little AIM icon below this post and bug me to play!
