Seeing as it's a small community, I think a ban would be a bit severe, but a probationary period might be more called for.wanghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12810798413949148423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8084619245099614590.post-63999846981457209912009-01-08T10:50:00.000+11:002009-01-08T10:50:00.000+11:00It's a shame that this kid felt the need to cheat ...It's a shame that this kid felt the need to cheat like that for what ever reason. Nothing is worth doing in an underhanded manner.

From the initial reactions, it looks like a short ban may be in order. We'll just have to wait and see.<BR/><BR/>The prizes in the U1600 are as follows:<BR/><BR/>1st-$600<BR/>2nd-$450<BR/>3rd-$300<BR/>4th-$200<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately, who can say what went through his mind when he made the folly?tanchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10248501580728956514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8084619245099614590.post-37399755273670676572009-01-08T01:52:00.000+11:002009-01-08T01:52:00.000+11:00Expelling him sounds reasonable; even a short ban ...Expelling him sounds reasonable; even a <I>short</I> ban from rated chess would make sense. Was there a large scholarship or cash prize for the winner making it more than a game for him, or it was just the foolishness of youth?likesforestshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12363355892919115087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8084619245099614590.post-72499828599241836592009-01-08T01:10:00.000+11:002009-01-08T01:10:00.000+11:00Oh dear, he is scared for live now.
