Thib, you said you'd look into LAST OCTOBER. In the meantime, Paul Guralivu has provided even more evidence as outlined above. I think you have eve (...)
Cheating / Forfeiting (2026-05-28 12:45:46)
See, this is the sort of response that has led to my disillusionment with this site. These players, Pech, Pechova, Mach, etc. SHOULD BE BANNED. I ha (...)

I'm not going to use this platform anymore until this is rectified. (...)
Next thematic tournament (2025-12-22 19:38:28)
Yeah, just waiting for Thib to update the starting position, it's still open to entries for the CK/advance/...c5 variation. I hope nobody enters that (...)
