Cheating Herzen

| Permalink | 191 comments

Oh those Germans. They can't let the French one-up them on anything, not even chess cheating. At the German championship last week, 23-year-old FM Christoph Natsidis of Bannewitz, who will now be quasi-famous for this one thing for the rest of his life thanks to Google and his own stupidity, decided it would be a good idea to check his position on his smartphone a few times in the toilet. ChessVibes has the story. (Repeated toilet trips, suspicious opponent.) Natsidis confessed and apologized when confronted, so I'm not sure we can even say he was caught. Had he stonewalled and refused to let the arbiter see his phone they probably would have had to disqualify him without further proof. I don't think anything has come out about Natsidis's other games -- he was on track for an IM norm and would have scored it even had he lost that final game.

But much the way refusing a breathalyzer test allows the state to do all sorts of things to you, the "consciousness of guilt evidence" (that is the term, as oxymoronic as it sounds) of his refusal to let them see his phone would have been strong, even if he could have denied guilt till death. I don't know if the German Ch actually has rules saying the arbiter has certain search powers that cannot be refused under penalty of disqualification, but apparently something like that is required. It will be interesting to see what the German federation will do. FIDE?!

I don't remember which of my chess tweeps said, regarding the event, that only top events can afford security. But while it would hardly be foolproof, you can get a hand-held security wand that will pick up a cell phone for less than a hundred bucks. Probably still not practical for big opens, but what would be? Lockers for checking phones are yet another expense and potential can of worms. The only thing you can do is give arbiters clear guidelines, limited powers, and make the penalties severe enough to create a deterrent. Stripping a player of his membership for a lengthy time first offense would be a good start. Second offense, chopping off a hand?

heh-heh

The announcement of the tournament mentioned doping controls - according to rules of the NADA (National Doping Authority) but it's FIDE's idea. Players had to sign an agreement with the German federation that they will comply with doping tests, and accept consequences of positive or refused tests.

Not mentioned in the announcement, but apparently communicated to the players during the technical meeting: zero tolerance rules applied with respect to being late. Indeed, (first scandal of the event) GM Bindrich was forfeited for being 2 minutes late and then dropped out of the event.

So it would also be FIDE's job to give arbiters the right to search players? BTW, Feller is currently still on the list of World Cup participants .... .

Ok, the important question, which app did he use?

I don't really see any problem with preventing players from carrying electronic devices while playing. They are already switched off so there is no reason they should be carried around in that state. People play other sports where a uniform is required, why is it a problem not to carry a phone. If a phone checking area is not available then leaving a phone at home, or maybe in a bag. It should be against the rules to carry it in pockets however while playing. I have noticed some players leave their phone on the playing table which is also reasonable. Also arbiters should be able to use their discretion to some extent when players are found to accidentally be carrying their phone.

At least this way an arbiter has some kind of rule to follow when they catch a player carrying a phone in the playing area. I think this kind of cheating is still relatively rare and a 2 year ban for would be more than sufficient deterrent.

Also FIDE should sort out their membership rules so that a ban by the German Federation can reasonably be extended to apply world wide.

One of the arbiters on a German blog ( http://schach-welt.de/BLOG/Blog/ChristophNatsidiswegenBetrugsvonDMausgeschlossen#comment1232 ):
"immediately after the game we found on the mobile phone of Mr. Natsidis PocketFritz 4 with an analysed position roughly corresponding to move 30-34 of the game. Confronted with these facts, Mr. Natsidis admitted engine assistance for this game."

"Cheating Herzen". Nice title! Do German radio stations play country-western?

Thanks for the information. According to Wikipedia, its rating is 2898. That should be more than sufficient. But I guess pocket Fritz works only with old windows phone. How can such instances be prevented? I think unless the opponent is very cautious (or suspicious), this will continue to happen.

Best is a perpetual ban: No mercy for the cheaters.

The German organizers forfeited GM Bindrich for being two minutes late??

How stupid is that? No margin for clock error?

Lodge a complaint? If I was GM Bindrich, and this was an open tournament, I think I would first blow a gasket.

I think I'm glad the guy cheated, just to show the stupid German authorities where the priorities ought to be, for God's sake.

"...forfeited for being 2 minutes late..."

What this requires is a concerted action. Everybody waits outside the playing hall until two minutes past.

A non-permanent ban makes the cheater cheats us all a second time.

It's ridiculous for you to label all players who make frequent toilet trips as "suspicious".

I have a medical condition which necessitates that go to the bathroom as frequently as every 30 minutes some days. I can help it, it's not my fault.

I really resent your characterization and lack of sensitivity. Try thinking things through before throwing around allegations!

I know of a local expert who has a similar problem, but I don't believe that he carries a cell phone into the toilet area with him.
It's lousy that we have to take our shoes off and carry only small amounts of liquid through check-in areas at the airport now, but that's what happens when a few bad actors spoil the easy times.

It would indeed be difficult for small-scale TDs to police phone cheating w/o taking phones away altogether, which is a bit unrealistic as some people sometimes await important calls from family, etc.

Alas, I imagine one could only reasonably determine that someone is cheating after multiple attempts - when it becomes more apparent.

I agree that a two-year ban is more than enough deterrant, and that threat should be announced worldwide.

If your phone is turned off there is no good argument that it must be in your pocket. Clubs and Leagues could introduce less restrictive rules as appropriate (as they already do). This guy was playing in the closed German Championship, only about 40 players. Incidentally if they even found him with the phone on doing something relatively harmless like directing his family to the venue this would be grounds (in current FIDE rules) to forfeit him of that game.

I believe that after a significant ban most people can learn the error of their ways and will not cheat ever again. I have seen it happen before.

"w/o taking phones away altogether, which is a bit unrealistic as some people sometimes await important calls from family, etc."

If you await important calls from family, etc, then you give your family the phone number to the organizer and they will alert you when the call comes and let you speak on their phone.

Under no circumstances should it be necessary for you to use your own phone during the game. If you're expecting frequent calls involving life and death, then it's probably best not to play as your head won't be in the game anyway.

>I agree that a two-year ban is more than enough deterrant, and that threat should be announced worldwide.

Obviously it isn't.

Anyway, we should just ban these people for life. Chess isn't that important; they're scum and they can find somewhere else to be scum. And on the other hand why on earth should we put up with this crap. I'd not play Feller if I was paired against him, that's for sure. I'm sure he could bear that bravely, but if everyone else took the same approach it would be an excellent thing. Along of course with boycotting the first minute of every round at every tournament which adopts this stupid immediate-default rule. I really find it impossible to imagine what goes through the minds of the officials who set up this sort of rule. In a just world we'd start again and retrospectively ban every arbiter who'd been involved at such a tournament. Let's face it, any decent arbiter would say he preferred not to be involved in such stupidity.

Good point.

The zero-tolerance for lateness rule was instituted at the Olympiad 2 years ago because they were having the problem that a player who was paired against a team that did not have a full contingent of players having to wait an hour before getting his forfeit.

But, there could have been an easier way, since the organizers and Chief Arbiters knew who these teams were, and could have easily signed the forfeit scores as soon as the games started.

I watched in horror as an opponent of a US Virgin Islands player showed up less than a minute late, and the captain, Mary Murphy, insisted he be forfeited. I think that may have been the only plus score for the USVI team (which has disintigrated since she took over and became the 'dictator'...kicking all the good players off the team because she wanted just her friends to play).

Even worse, there were and remain episodes where players have been begging for their opponents NOT to be forfeited, because they've travelled hundreds of miles to, y'know, play chess, and the arbiters refusing - hands are tied, etc.

Like I say, it's just impossible for me to understand the mindset of the clowns who come up with and administer these rules. It's a game for Chrissakes. It's there to be enjoyed.

Everybody waits 1 hour outside the hall!!

What is the point?

Chess cheating seems to have gotten out of control in the last few years and this is certainly no exception. Playing against a strong GM in the last round of the German National Championship, a decent FM goes to the bathroom to the point of suspicion in his last-round game. He had already sealed the deal on an IM norm, so why keep pushing it? Maybe he wasn’t pushing it at all, but had been cheating his way through events for years and nobody had truly taken notice enough to do something about it. Cheating in chess has become a rampant disease, and the scandal at the 2011 Olympiad involving the participation of strong 2600+ GMs is certainly unnerving. It appears that cheating is much more common than previously thought, and is being detected at a higher rate due to increased awareness.

Doctors always say an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of treatment. Preventing cheating in the first place would seem a lot easier than searching anyone who looks “too focused” at the chess board. Simply preventing the possession of mobile phones/electronic devices can’t be too difficult (ex Mig mentioned a <$100 security wand). I have also heard arguments for shortening time controls with an accompanying rule that players can not use the restroom during the round, however this seems like a different argument altogether. Essentially, preventing cheating in the first place would make everyone’s life a lot easier (ex no GM wants to receive a public full cavity search).

However, it’s not always possible prevent cheating. So, the punishment should be made much stricter. Obviously a 2-3 year ban for a 23 year old FM is not going to be that bad. But maybe a 10 year ban would make potential perpetrators think twice. And if an offender repeats, a life ban from competitive chess globally. If current prevention measures prove inadequate, the only other way to deter cheating in chess is to make the penalty extremely severe.

Levon Aronian answers reader questions at Crestbook: http://www.crestbook.com/en/node/1514

I also wrote an introduction: http://bit.ly/j0JeUP

He does talk about cheating but there are much more interesting topics! Here are a few one-liners to whet your appetite :)

"Why do people play chess?

Aronian: For pleasure, peace of mind and the moral torture of their neighbour."

"What act will the World Champion Levon Aronian commit without fail that he can’t just now, given his current status?

Aronian: He’ll demand that tournament organisers provide a separate room for his beloved cat Pacquiao."

"Have you ever felt during a game that you were a chess genius?

Aronian: I’ve felt that very often, but sadly in the majority of cases it was a false alarm."

I read an article concerning a new scheme to avoid cheating where instead of going to the loo, you can use a bag provided by the arbiter.
Is it a joke article? Are they taking the piss?

Hey, I liked this article so I put it up on my site with my previous response.

http://www.chessvibes.com/reports/interview-with-the-world-champio-anand-on-becoming-a-father-kazan-and-more-part-1-of-2/

nice Vishy Anand interview at chessvibes -

Federer or Nadal?
Well, I actually was rooting for Nadal today, so…

OK. John Cleese or Terry Gilliam?
Not very easy. Probably I’ve seen more of Cleese.

Beatles or Stones?
In Sofia we played Stones for ages. [Smiles.]

Giri or Nyzhnyk?
[Smiles more.] I don’t know Nyzhnyk as well as Giri, so…

Talent or experience?
Well, experience! [Smiles.]

OK, three: Fritz, Rybka or Houdini?
Houdini.

Rapid chess or semi-rapid chess?
Rapid chess.

Classical score or football score?
Classical score.

Sofia rule or no Sofia rule?
No. No Sofia rule.

We’ll return to many briefly afterwards. Fifteen-minute delay of transmission or ban of electronic devices?
I think we’ll just have to trust each other more. [Smiles.]

Candidates: matches or round-robin?
I don’t know, once we try one we’ll be unhappy with the other… [Smiles.]

And then the last one: Israel or India?
[Smiles.] Well, I’m gonna kind of root for myself.

It was obvious he was going to get caught. How come Christoph nat si dis?

"Natsidis confessed and apologized when confronted, so I'm not sure we can even say he was caught."

Come on now, let's not jump to any conclusions here.

May be he was exchanging photos with Wiener. So, when they asked him if he was using his smartphone to cheat in chess, he said "Yeah, that's right. That's what I'm doing in the toilet. You don't need to search my phone."

I was wondering how the U.S. Virgin Islands manages to finish dead last, Olympiad after Olympiad! And by rather significant margins, too. Maybe Mary Murphy foots the bill for a lot of the USVI Federation's expenses? There must be some reason why she gets selected to be Captain, despite her poor performance. At any rate, it's a humorous situation either way.

"I watched in horror as an opponent of a US Virgin Islands player showed up less than a minute late, and the captain, Mary Murphy, insisted he be forfeited. I think that may have been the only plus score for the USVI team (which has disintigrated since she took over and became the 'dictator'...kicking all the good players off the team because she wanted just her friends to play)."

Off-topic: Kirsan played Gaddafi in Tripoli on Sunday. Yes, really.

There is nothing he will not do to enhance the image of the chess sport - if by 'enhance' one means, "trample down, spit upon, and dump in the sewer."

New kirsan slogan:
"Chess, the sport of dictators."

I guess his tour continues to Syria next...

Tunisia, apparently, but close :)

Kirsan unleashed several explosive novelties during the game. He is known to ruthlessly crush his opponents...

Ilyumzhinov not feeling repentant the morning after: http://bit.ly/iFc0Q1

And insulting Gaddafi's chess while still in the country...

So it turned out to be a 'grandmaster draw', offered by Kirsan. What has chess come to that a game between two bloodthirsty murderers can't produce a result.

Completely agree that the late arrival "zero tolerance" policy is absurd. For heaven's sake; things happen, people are sometimes not on time. If the same player repeatedly shows up 15 minutes late, then maybe he should be given some sort of warning, "three strikes and you're out [= next time, game forfeited]" or something to that effect. Anything harsher than that is just ridiculous and sure to create controversy.

And Kirsan/Qaddafi. Wow. I can't say I care much about FIDE politics - maybe Kirsan is rotten, or maybe he is - but this really is an unbelievable embarrassment. A black day for world chess.

In addition to being corrupt and dangerous, Ilyumzhinov is also apparently not very smart. He could have been blown to bits while he was visiting.

Wait a minute. Is he really the head of FIDE, or am I dreaming all this?

I bet that Chesspride is just lapping this up. Any moment now he will chirp in with lavish praise of Kirsan's initiative to transcend the discord of geopolitics, by engaging in a little Chess shuttle diplomacy.

Like it or not, this is what FIDE has degenerated into. Yes, you can even dream about a new leader for FIDE, but the General Assembly essentially signed up for this when they re-elected Kirsan for the umpteenth time.

FIDE is like a Witch's Brew of the worst, most putrid elements of Soccer's FIFA, the IOC, the fly by night Boxing Associations. At least with those groups, there is real money involved: Millions in Bribes, to secure Billions in contracts, which will ultimately be subsidized and underwritten by the sucker-citizens of whichever country.

It was a huge tactical mistake on the part of Garry (and Mig) to try to take over the rotten ediface that is FIDE.

Since that Gambit failed, maybe now Kasparov will set about to convince somebody in the government that a CIA flush with more money than it can spend ought allocate a few Million for the purpose of establish a new World Chess Federation?

Just visit Fide's website http://www.fide.com/ occasionally. It's sickening that the main organizational body for chess is used substantially to inflate one man's ego.

If he ran a country I wouldn't be surprised. But this is a guy that supposedly can be voted out, and who controls no media that might obscure the voter's perceptions.

It's pretty disturbing for the future of organized chess.

Hard to blame Ilyumzhinov for any of this since everyone knew the score before the last elections .

It's the nations whose federations voted him in who should be pilloried. Why is the revolution on hold?

And the best is stil ahead. Israel is acting against the UN,too. Let us see, if FIDE will allow a WCC there or not.

Cheating is always going to be a problem in chess, with smart phones becoming more and more widely used a real problem has arisen for all chess organisers! I have recently found tournaments halls limiting you to the hall and toilet during play, this is about the best and most logical rule to enforce, the next step seems to be spot checks for electronic devices... I think the opponents of cheats are much more likely to be aware of ill-conduct before the organisers, players are just as eager to catch the cheats as organisers are. I'm confident cheats won't survive for long. :)

Sorry for also posting off topic, but I am so sad of the Kirsan-Khadaffi affair.

I just posted the below to the FIDE office in Athens. Need I explain why I chose "Genocide Una Sumus" as the subject line?

"Dear FIDE,

I've been a chess player for most of my life. I've also been active in peace organisations since I was a teenager in the 1980's.

I'm chocked and utterly disgusted by the recent visit to Tripoli by the FIDE president. Having a meeting with Khadaffi, while the latter is subject to investigations by the International Criminal Court after a historic unanimous decision by the United Nations Security Council and then having the stomach to cover this up as FIDE and chess helping to bring peace to the region is not only a farce, it is indeed a tradegy.

I will forever hold Kirsan Ilyumshinov and FIDE accountable for the good will it has now so kindly helped Khadaffi cover up his war crimes with.

Yes, FIDE is corrupt at all its levels-- corrupt through and through. One can even forget about the corruption of the various chess offcials who run the National Chess Federations of the many countries without a meaningful chess heritage. The corruption is just as bad in the European chess federations, and even worse in the US Chess Federation (at least with respect to its FIDE delegation). Always, it is the least competant and most self-serving who rise to the top.

It's a great system for self-perpetuation, since no FIDE delegates would ever risk the loss of power that would come if their national chess federation broke with FIDE. even those federations that didn't support Kirsan with their votes are, functionally, enablers of Kirsan (and his supporters) maintaining his deathgrip on power.

This reminds me of the way that "Student government" functions, in tbe typical US university.

The political philosophy of FIDE is akin to two wolves and one sheep taking a vote: on the Question of What's for dinner.

Beautiful! Kirsan effectively goes on a multi-media trolling extravaganza in Libya, and after a few perfunctary comments about the Chess in Africa PR blitz, things return to dynamic equalibrium. The old question arises: "But, what about Israel?" Of course, it is a question that I thought might not have been raised until after Kirsan extended his Good Will tour to promote chess in the Israeli settlements. But for all of the controversy and perverse publicity that Kirsan obviously relishes, I doubt we will be finding him there any time soon.

But, you do raise an intriguing possibility: Kirsan/FIDE could conceivably make a tidy profit, by threatening to hold the Anand-- Gelfand World Championship match in Israel, for the purpose of provoking Dubai into providing a 10 Million Euro emollient, to reverse the decision, and have the match hosted elsewhere...

30 moves. That's how long it took Magnus to show Nisipeanu the door today.
(Conspicuous silence from creep George, meanwhile.)

It is in fact a shame that Magnus was not in the hunt to challenge Vishy Anand for the World Championship, because the contest would have been epic, with near even money on its outcome in my estimation.
Yes that presumes a lot, but sometimes projection is not greatly difficult.

Next time around, if Anand can hold on against Boris Gelfand, folks will say, 'well, but Vishy was past his prime when he played Magnus...'

New live ratings King of the Hill!

More up-to-date with more info and games! Sweet!

Are you equally upset with Iran, China, Russia and Syria? Aren't they all in FIDE?

Good question, Steve.
Well I'm not opposing the Libyan chess federation's right to be in FIDE...

But for FIDE to visit the political leader of a dictatorship at the height of his crimes and even claim to have a political role ("helping to bring peace by chess") if simply utterly stupid.

And yes, had FIDE visited China during the Tianamen Square massacre or Russia during the worst parts of the wars in Chechnya or Syria today I would have wanted FIDE atleast not to do so in a way which can only be seen as embrazing the criminals.

The funny thing is in all the mainstream press Ilyumzhinov's claimed his visit was simply about chess - it's only in the statement as FIDE President he tried to claim it was a peace mission. Of course, it's hard to see how blatant propaganda for an incumbent dictator advances the cause of peace...

On another note (not really sure where to post this), Grischuk gave an interview where he welcomed the draws in Kazan as they made it more likely we'd move away from classical chess (he says he's been dreaming of that since childhood): http://www.chessintranslation.com/2011/06/its-the-end-of-classical-chess-as-we-know-it-and-i-feel-fine/

It looks like this will just be another one of Kirsan's outrages, which will quickly blow over.

The Chess World desrves to get what it wants, and it deserves to get it good and hard...


..............'s up Mig?

I like this picture of Kirsan being interviewed by mass media. Looks like one camera and a few cell phones taking pictures. (last picture)

http://www.fide.com/component/content/article/1-fide-news/5347-fide-president-in-kiev.html

Pretty typical front page story for Fide. The president goes somewhere, and here's the gratuitous story about it.

The big story was Ponamariov winning the Ukranian championship in Kiev. But, reading the Fide web site, you might think Kirsan attending the closing ceremonies was the main event.

http://www.fide.com

The site changes, and this story will drop off. Soon to be replaced by another full pictorial story on Kirsan's latest escapades. Now that's entertainment! /sarcasm - for Thomas

Unfortunately what Ilyumzhinov had to say in Kiev is likely to become the story: http://www.whychess.org/node/324

To add to our joy the Russian media is reporting he's planning to return to Libya at the start of July...

Hm, I read up to Kaissa the chess beauty contest. Why can't the guy stay in Libya? A truckload of proposals that do nothing to deal with the problems at hand. A mid-90s revival of dreaming big about rapid chess in TV. Did he miss the Internet? Designer clothes. That will be the thing that brings the crowds to chess.
How about high-quality internet presentation of tournaments, predictable WC cycles, a base set of anti-cheating measures?

Thanks for the link.

Kirsan sounds a bit frustrated here:

"To say the truth, as FIDE President, I’m sick and tired of gathering money for champions"

He goes on to explain that the money should be tied to what the spectators pay to see the games.

I can only imagine how tough it must be for him to raise money, since no deep pocket corporation would touch anything he's involved with. Not only that, but the US goes and derails sponsors like Saddam and now possibly Gaddafi could go the same route. It's like the West is taking a personal interest in destroying Fide income sources.


The right-hand girl at Inarkiev's photo is quite in my taste.

Funny, he lost that game :)

Speaking of cheating ... Rybka DQ'd and Rajlich banned, now and forever! (It's not April 1st, so I assume this report on chessbase is true.)

I bet that Chesspride is just lapping this up. Any moment now he will chirp in with lavish praise of Kirsan's initiative to transcend the discord of geopolitics, by engaging in a little Chess shuttle diplomacy.

***
I'm glad you asked...

First, FIDE is a world-wide body with member states who don't always like each other or get along (in general politics).

The role of FIDE president -- much like UN President -- is to treat the member states equally.

It would be wrong if the FIDE president favored some federations (for political reasons) over others...at least openly.

Yes, some states are absolutely horrid, but they are part of FIDE and cannot be avoided.

So...Kirsan visiting Libya is not all that remarkable, although I can see it as distasteful to the West. He also visited the West Bank (which I am sure was distasteful to the Israeli federation).

And if he visited Turkey, that might be distasteful to the Greek federation. If he visited East Timor, the Indonesians might not be very happy -- and so forth.

Second point -- yes, his job is to get publicity. Even bad publicity is good publicity. And remember -- it is only bad publicity in the West. In other parts of the world, it will be seen as good publicity.

Third point -- there are those in the West who think that the NATO intervention is incredibly short-sighted and wrong. Qadafy had given up his nuclear weapons program, he had paid reparations for his prior terrorist acts in the 80s and 90s, and he had made nice-nice oil deals with the Europeans.

His people in Benghazi rebelled and he took action to put down the rebellion. What did you expect him to do? And honestly, what would the US govt do if armed gangs took control of several large US cities?

The Europeans obviously decided to take the moment to get rid of a not-very-nice fellow and improve their oil deal. Unlike 1956, they dragged the US into the mess (in 1956, the US told them NO -- think about it).

Qadafy is not a nice fellow. But he is (was) the recognized ruler of Libya for 40 years...and his regime was reintegrated into Western affairs. There was no reason -- none -- for the Western powers to make war upon him.

Fourth point -- if Kirsan had visited Syria (a much worse dictatorship and larger threat to world peace)...this wouldn't even have made the USA news. Think about that.

Last point -- Libya is a fake country. It is really multiple territories merged into one entity. Qadafy is very popular among the people in Tripoli. His clans or tribes (being favored via his rule) are not too happy about the civil war.

Just as Iraq is a fake counntry (three parts -- Shiite, Sunni and Kurd) held together by irrational means (which complicated the recent war)...Libya is a fake country.

A better solution for NATO would have been to recognize Benghazi as "East Libya" and Qadafy as "West Libya" and quickly made peace....so that the Arab Spring could quickly spread to Syria and Iran.

This should be the right thread ... there is a new twist in the Feller case:
he and Hauchard appealed at a civil court ("tribunal des referes de Versailles") - Marzolo didn't, Europe Echecs writes "apparently for financial reasons". Yesterday the court decided to temporarily lift their suspension, pending a final decision. Apparently it's due to procedural errors (but while my 'common' French is rather fluent, my legal French isn't). Hence they can probably play the French championship in August this year.

Moreover, the French federation has a new president Henri Carvallo who (unlike his predecessor Jean-Claude Moingt) says he isn't "emotionally involved in the case" and might go for a peaceful settlement.

(summarized/translated "best I can do")

What about Rybka banning? Why is only chessvibes covering the story?

RAJLICH A CHEAT AND RYBKA A RIP OFF- its official.

I remember how many were given a hard time for even mentioning houdini and other related programs on the basis that they had copied rybka and should not be referred to. Breathtaking hypocrisy from the rybka organisation and many others. Chessbase have not even referred to the life ban on Rajlich by ICGA and the erasure of all Rybka results from 2006-2010.

Their conclusion is damning "We are convinced that the evidence against Vasik Rajlich is both overwhelming in its volume and beyond reasonable question in its nature. Vasik Rajlich is guilty of plagiarizing the programs Crafty and Fruit, and has violated the ICGA’s tournament rules with respect to the World Computer Chess Championships in the years 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010.

Sometimes crime pays :)

lol , some might say that they had some experience in cheating , some might say...

Ha Ha yes I guess its the golden rule them wot has the gold makes the rules. All that whining and pompous moralising from self interested twits was just an attempt to protect Rajlichs/chessbase business model. so anyone who used robbelito/firebird etc was immoral and illegal and violators so links were deleted etc Meanwhile top GM's were using these forbidden programs. And all the while the bugger had done the very thing he was accusing others of doing : ripping off the code LOL - indeed hilarious :)

Hopefully, the French Chess Federation will make the event "invitation only", and then fail to invite Feller. A "Peaceful Settlement" brings to mind Neville Chamberlain in 1938. Negotiating away the sanctions is sheer appeasement in the face of heavy legal firepower, and what amounts to intimidation from attorney thugs. In short, it would be a tacit capitulation.

The evidence against Feller is overwhelming, and the cheating episode clearly merits a ban of several years. This case has nothing to do with "emotional involvement", and everything to do with maintaining standards of integrity. Feller has already demonstrated the lack of his integrity; will the Chess Federation now do the same by caving in to him?

"His people in Benghazi rebelled and he took action to put down the rebellion. What did you expect him to do? And honestly, what would the US govt do if armed gangs took control of several large US cities?"

Well, putting aside obvious quips about Detroit, I would expect the US Government to step in and re-establish control. But, while I readily concede that the US Government has lost some legitimacy over the past 4 Decade, and while it manifests ever-deepening flaws, I also think that comparing the US government to Qaddafi is wildly off the mark. There is still due process and the rule of law, and there still is a genuine element of Democracy in US politics, even if the rights of the people have been usurped by "Malefactors of great wealth". Thus, armed gangs have much less justification to "take over large cities" Qaddafi is nothing more than strongman. "His" people have every right to rise up and seize their inalienable rights--by force, if necessary

Frankly, I'm satisfied with the course of events. The Libyan operation has cost the US very little in treasure, and even less in lives. Obama did get sucked into the situation. On the basis of US Domestic political concerns, it was untenable for Obama to sit on the sidelines.

As long as women and children are not getting massacred en masse, I'm not unduly alarmed by the apparent stand-off. Let the tribes sort it out amongst themselves.

That said, it will clearly take more robust Western intervention to break the Stalemate. France led the call for NATO intervention; France has been at the forefront of the bombing campaign; France has recognized the Benghazi rebels; France has provided material and logistical support to Benghazi; France is undertaking to train the rebel forces; France has recently admitted to directly arming the Benghazi based rebels. The next step, and a decisive one, would be for the French to do the fighting, and march on Tripoli themselves.

I actually like your suggestion about breaking up Libya into smaller sovereign parts. However, breaking up Libya into East Libya (Benghazi) and West Libya (Tripoli/Benghazi) only serves the Arabs. It screws over other ethnic minorities, such as the Berbers. There should be a Berber enclave (probably also carved out of nominally Algerian territory) that would be recognized in the deal.

Aside from Sudan (where an independent Darfur will also probably be "calved" off, within the next few years, it would be nice to see Somalia broken up, with an independent Puntland.

Finally, if Qaddafi DID sign off on a peace deal, ceasing hostilities, and recognizing "East Libya" he would lose most of the solidarity of his supporters. He would lose face...
Qaddafy only has the incentive to keep the
Fight going--aiming for Total victory, or a long-term stand-off in a state of belligerance (in which he is more likely to retain tribal loyalty)
Of course, he can always hope that the US and Europe will lose interest, and abandon Benghazi to its fate.
___________________________________

"Last point -- Libya is a fake country. It is really multipl territories merged into one entity. Qadafy is very popular among the people in Tripoli. His clans or tribes (being favored via his rule) are not too happy about the civil war.


Just as Iraq is a fake counntry (three parts -- Shiite, Sunni and Kurd) held together by irrational means (which complicated the recent war)...Libya is a fake country.

A better solution for NATO would have been to recognize Benghazi as "East Libya" and Qadafy as "West Libya" and quickly made peace....so that the Arab Spring could quickly spread to Syria and Iran.

Frankly, I'm satisfied with the course of events. The Libyan operation has cost the US very little in treasure, and even less in lives. Obama did get sucked into the situation. On the basis of US Domestic political concerns, it was untenable for Obama to sit on the sidelines.

The US involvement in the NATO war vs. Libya has a $1billion price tag so far (and rising).

And...so far...it has led the US president to violate the War Powers Act. The executive branch may respond to military emergencies, but he may not make war on sovereign states without Congressional approval.

And the NATO action is a war -- bombing tanks, blockading ports and so forth are acts of war.

The action makes NATO look weak -- how on earth would they have withstood a Soviet attack in 1975?

So, how can we be satisfied? Unprovoked war on a sovereign state. A president who breaks the law. And a billion dollars pissed away....when a little diplomacy to break the country into two parts would have stopped the mess from happening.

the US is contaminating Lybia for ever with uranium depleted cancer ammunition!!!!!!!!

to hell with them. getting rid of their waste. Good thing is their soldiers get a lot of it, too.

In the meantime, the French federation has announced that they will continue legal action - in the public interest and expecting that justice will prevail in the end [again my rough translation from the French original: "Il agira donc en conséquence dans l'intérêt général, et poursuivra son action pour faire triompher le fond."]

However, even if they want to the federation probably cannot ban Feller from the national championship: I guess it isn't and never can become an "invitation only" event - instead players presumably qualify based on Elo or results from last year or whichever qualifiers may exist. Likewise, they couldn't keep him from playing the European Championship _in France_: that's a Swiss open, actually the federation even had to pay his hotel expenses (as they do for every French player rated 2600+).

In any case, Feller's chess career won't continue as if nothing has happened. For example, he lost his spot in the German Bundesliga - the homepage of his former club Werder Bremen states rather laconically "after just a very short period, we parted with Sebastien Feller". He is actually replaced by Romain Edouard, another young Frenchman.

As I mentioned the Bundesliga: the biggest news is that Levon Aronian will play next season - for a (previously) rather modest club from Berlin (where he lives) that very narrowly avoided degradation last season. This contradicts Aronian's answer to a question I had asked at the Crestbook conference ("Why did you quit playing in the Bundesliga?" "... If I ever again play team events, I want to be involved in fighting for the title"). Even more surprising is that he will play board 2 - his student Hrant Melkumyan (22 years old, Elo 2600, Armenian #9) also joins the team and wants to play board 1.

I actually agree with you that Obama is in technical violation of the War Powers Act. But the White House makes a legal argument, which perhaps rests on the claim that there are gray areas--such as the definitions of terms like "war" and "hostilities". The White House is entitled to a certain amount of due process, even if their arguments are, on the whole, rather weak. Perhap getting a clarification on the application of the War Powers Act will take some time. Obama might even seek to appeal an adverse opinion all the way to the Supreme Court. (He might want to consider hiring Feller's attorneys; the French seem to have some expertise in these cases that hinge on exalting juridical processes to a fetish)

In the context of the hyper-partisanship in Congress, on the part of the Republicans, a decision to seek Congressional authorization would entail submitting to political theater. It is understandable that Obama is loathe to do this.

Still, perhaps it will be useful to pressure Obama, who may then be inclined to pressure Sarkozy to finally wrap things up. I'm not exaggerating when I state that it would probably only take one or two Brigades of the French Foreign Legion to finish the job. The endgame against Laurent Gbagbo probably was a tougher slog than what they would face in Tripoli.

The reality is that the Soviets/Warsaw Pact forces were weaker than NATO in 1975, and in any case lacked the logistical and operational capabilities to launch an attack with the expectation of success. Moreover, the NATO forces involved in Libya are only using a small fraction of the battle capability that was available in 1975. Concern about possibly civilian casualties would scarcely have been a consideration back then. And the US Army could always--in the event of a rout--deploy tactical nuclear weapons, with "Dial-a-Yield".

NATO IS weak at this kind of stuff. Modern armies are predicated around devasting destruction. Not at serving as some global cop trying to quell a melee using (mostly) non-lethal means.

Article about a new documentary on Bobby Fischer, from the Guardian: http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/2011/jul/03/bobby-fischer-liz-garbus-film.

Here's an interview with Karjakin that was published today. He talks about e.g. Carlsen, Kramnik and Gelfand - http://www.chessintranslation.com/2011/07/karjakin-reflects-on-moving-up-in-the-world/

Another month gone by, and Mig watching videos and tweeting about being stoned. Want 10000 followers? DO A BLOG ONCE IN A WHILE!!!

Putz.

Unrelated, but regarding the supposed rating inflation over the past 15 years:

Kamsky is 2741 on the official July 2011 list, his highest rating since he was...2745 in July 1996. Would 1996 Kamsky beat the 2011 Kamsky? Of course not. The competition today is just better -- likewise, no way would the 1996 versions of Anand, Kramnik, Ivanchuk, Topalov beat their 2011 counterparts.

And there is absolutely no way that the ken h. of 1996 could beat the ken h. of 2011 (I'm serious about that). I cannot for the life of me understand how I could have scored that particular rating back then. My understanding of the game is far better now. USCF ratings must have tanked since.

But enough about meself. Does anyone know if Luke McShane is playing the 2011 London Classic? It appears not to me, and if not, why not?

What do you expect a rating system to do? Rate players of today vs players of yesteryear or tomorrow? Or have a stable scale of measurement in any particular year (e.g. say average player is 1600, top 2% are 2200+, etc.). I don't see how you can have both in one system.

Nice bit of sophistry there, Pioneer! Wasn't the Kamsky of 1996 was quite a bit higher *ranked* than Kamsky is currently. Back then, Gata was known for his powerful opening preparation. Quite the opposite now. Kamsky 1996 rarely got into Zeitnot. He often gets into Time Pressure these days. Still, a 2741 rating shows some upside potential. If he became super motivated, he might be able to reclaim the mantle of Top player in the USA.

Didn't Anand tie for first in the last London chess classic (traditional scoring) ?!

Yasser Seirawan on how he got started in chess and why the status of Blitz should be higher. As Sergey Shipov said about Tkachiev starting his site, "Et tu, Brute?" :)

http://www.whychess.org/node/634

Twitter rots the soul. One day our Leader will wake up at 4 a.m. with palpitations but gripped by this truth. The secret to the dawning and yet elusive emptiness of his life will become clear to him. He shall repent of his covetousness of "followers" and shall discard the foul "twits" in favour of a Blog Post. His body will rejoice in its return to its natural environment. A Prose Master should desist from 140 character assassination. Perhaps when sugar was first discovered people ate bowls of it for breakfast before returning to their Porridge upon realizing the damage sugar was doing, in spite of the energy rush...

Yeah, Mig doing tweets is like serious grandmasters playing blitz. Nice appetizers, but not the real thing.

You didn't read Yasser's blog entry, but underlying point taken.


separately,
Nice soliloquy there, chesshire cat

ken, you are a dolt.

first you prematurelery ejaculate all over because carlsen beat nisipeanuts, some nobody of chess.
then you cite as unfortunate, the fact that carlsen chickened out of the qualifiers
then you assume the result of the next world championships by concluding gelfand wont win against anand
then you assume that carlsen will qualify as challenger to the nexct round of wcc
then you assume that carlsen will win the wcc ...

all on the basis that he beat a 2650 player in 30 moves. How retarded are you?

Chennai to host 2012 World Chess Championship, if this news report is to be believed. My guess is that the state govt has agreed to bid but the reporter got it all wrong. Here's the report URL: http://www.rediff.com/sports/report/chennai-to-host-2012-world-chess-championship/20110713.htm

Kapalik

Looks more like Chennai for WCC as there's another report: http://www.thehindu.com/sport/other-sports/article2224011.ece

Here's my quick news report :) http://whychess.org/en/node/760

I'm sure it's just that the state government's agreed to support a bid - seeing as the bidding deadline isn't supposed to be until 31 July... well, assuming FIDE is run on logical grounds :)

Thanks, mishanp. The source of all these new items is the same news agency and hence multiple news items don't make it more reliable. OTOH, we also don't know what Kirsan promised the CM of TN. She recently won elections in a landslide and the WCC may be a populist move on her part to impress the voters.

lol ... what a smack in face of a certain fraud called Malcolm Pein (in the arse that is)

and also a kick in the groin to other moaners like ken who thought this match will never get sponsored.
time to pull your tongues outta MC arsehole guys
Carlsen thought he could dictate how the WCC goes.
Awesome job by Kirsan. Much respect to the TN CM.

Well, the PUTZ finally admits to sitting on his couch being a lump. I think this blog is officially closed. Perhaps he should say to himself what he has to do.

MIG: "'First say to yourself what you would be; and then do what you have to do.' Epictetus. (I would be someone sitting on this sofa.) "

Mig is sulking because Kirsan found two bidders for the next WCH with record sponsorship money to boot. Why would he try to wash shite off his face in public after what he spewed when 'London withdrew their bid'

Mishanp, I guess Kirsan would have assured the TN CM that no one can beat the $4.5M bid and hence the bidders are going to town claiming that they won the bid as the other bid is known and no one is likely to top this (it is clear there is no interest from Israel).

Mig and other detractors can still slam Kirsan saying that all the bids come from govts or corrupt businessmen.

Yep, I'm sure that's what he told them. I put another report up - a curiosity is that he mentioned a different London bid and interest from Minsk in a Russian interview today: http://www.whychess.org/en/node/781

In other "news" - Evgeny Bareev's description of how the Russia team got from Shanghai to Ningbo was good enough to persuade me to translate it (+ there's a Svidler interview, and some football snaps...): http://bit.ly/pm2d6C

Interesting...there certainly is a lot of money floating around India these days, so it is not implausable that such a bid may have been made. Actually, it's more surprising that a major bid from India was not put forth for one of the earlier WC matches involving Anand.

Now we can look forward to the drama of the two rival Indian Chess Federations, seeking to sanction the match.

I wonder if Chief Minister Jayaram Jayalalithaa of Tamil Nadu has sweetened the deal by offering direct emollients to Kirsan?

Well, it looks like the Qaddafi Gambit paid off: "No such thing as bad publicity" must have gained the attention of CM Jayalalithaa, who as we all know is as pure as the wind driven snow...

Your comment about CM Jayalalitha seems to suggest that you actually know an honest politician. Who might that be? Would love to know.

Why is anyone bidding for Anand-Gelfand??? Are we in Bizzaro world? Want Topalov..uh no...Kramnik...no thanks...Gelfand....2,3,4 do I hear 5 million!

IMHO I would not walk down to the local pub to watch Gelfand play the ghost of Fischer with Kasparov getting winner.

With fellows like 'George' around, no wonder Mig is packing it in. Not the slightest knowledge of chess, and not the slightest understanding of how to behave politely on someone else's blog.

Methinks Mig is packing in because chess is dead. With no Linares, Carlsen absenting from the current "cycle", Grischuk's dumbing down (partially successful) "draw-with-white" ingeniousness, no Mainz Chess Classics, the head of FIDE playing chess on TV with a certain popular chief of state, a certain chess engine brought to market by the market leader allegedly product of a theft, misc cheating scandals at tournaments etc. methinks the chess market has simply collapsed and sponsor money vanished completely. Just as an example look at Gambit Publications "forthcoming chess books" section: drouth in comparison to previous years.

i call a spade a spade spaceman spiff. i see its had the desired effect too, sometimes the truths tough to swallow. sure, your knowledge about chess is superior and your etiquette on the internet will win you a medal of honor too.
and spiffy, i use my real name - george, unlike you, you cartoon

There is no Linares because our banks played tea party with the economy
Carlsen absented himself because he was spooked that he would lose his street cred
Grischuk picked a strategy to exploit a set system - that is like you pointed out correctly ingenious
Mainz - read point one
Kirsan v Gadafi - dont complain if our chess federations cannot man up to take him out, at least our goverment is trying to take gadafi out
the rest of the what you pointed out dont make chess any worse than soccer, baseball or athletics
the truth is mig posts when carlsen or nakamura wins something because

like any other sport - strong correlation between national success and interest. this side of the balkans we are just not good enough to compete and hence there just aint money. so dont winge.

and as long as the folks on the other side of the balkans play chess, chess will stay alive and healthy. the game has survived two thousand years. and your the wise one who taps the mound covering its grave - right!

James, IMHO stands for 'In my HUMBLE Opinion' - you arrogant fool.

You are why people think all chessplayers are nerds...you ignorant slut..see I can insult too behind a keyboard :)

of course you can.. just dont start with your humble opinion, you pretentious shag

Hmmm, it is a bit quiet around here! I was going to post the link to Shipov's commentary today, but it's all in my last post - except to say it's Carlsen - Shirov.

It is VERY quiet around here. Population's dun cleared out until the next tournament featuring the entire top 5, in which case they'll dance back into town.
Before I look at your link, I must say it looks like Shirov's position is creaking like an ancient staircase.

I rarely post, but that doesn't mean I don't appreciate your great links mishanp!

I'd like to second that. At times the comments here are, to put it politely, flooded with irrelevance. But whenever I see your name I know it will be interesting -- you open gates to the great Russian chess culture also to non-Russian speakers. Thanks!

Mig, please post something, for the love of god.

Back on thread ... : The presidential board of the German Chess Federation has reached the following unanimous decision on the Natsidis cheating case ( http://schachbund.de/news/article.html?article_file=1312966020.txt )
- Natsidis is banned for two years, starting July 6th this year. This decision is (called) "legally binding".
- All of his games from the German Championship are declared lost for him and won for the opponent - surely just for (national) rating purposes, it was a Swiss event and they cannot change pairings after the event ... .
- Throughout the two years, Natsidis is removed from the DWZ (national Elo) list; any games he might play will not be rated.
- "The presidential board of the German federation will inform FIDE and ECU about their decisions."

I don't know if FM Natsidis can appeal somehow-somewhere - unlike GM Feller, he cannot claim loss of income!?

Maybe he just ate some bad thai food and was playing Brickbreaker on his cell phone.

Or he was being a little sneaky cheating d-bag.

it's just impossible for me to understand the mindset of the clowns who come up with and administer these rules. It's a game for Chrissakes. It's there to be enjoyed.

But while it would hardly be foolproof, you can get a hand-held security wand that will pick up a cell phone for less than a hundred bucks. Probably still not practical for big opens, but what would be? Lockers for checking phones are yet another expense and potential can of worms" more power..
