    Chess Problem

    Online Chess

    Why not visit the social network setup by the online turn based association for players and webmasters that support this type of online chess. Social Chess Network

    The Tonya Harding Option

    The Tonya Harding Option

     

    An event dedicated to cheating; there is a website that is allowing someone who admits he cheats to play his members in a community type of chess game (Vote Chess).

     

    Obviously, this type of character can be good for business when you are trying to stir the pot; everyone likes to hate someone however, in my opinion this is a typically a rooky webmaster mistake when it comes to cheating, even the so called cheater is shocked that this being allowed.

     

    In every walk of life this type or person or this type of situation, is shunned, avoided and or given the respect it deserves (none). To allow this situation to take center stage, to promote their concepts clearly show this site is a business and is using this so called tactic to promote its website for financial gain.

     

    No person who understands chess and the seriousness on how cheating is viewed in the chess circles would ever take this stance, this webmaster states its all about the community, what community allows cheaters to take center stage and allows a self proclaimed cheater to promote is ideas or beliefs.

     

    This very argument is in the papers today, they call is the Tonya Harding option.

     

    Since this opinion will be censored, I want to go record stating this is wrong and helping to promote someone that cheats is fundamentally wrong.
