<I watched him very carefully. When he played this move, 32.Nb7 against Saric, he took ten seconds. It was a five to ten minute thing, in my modest opinion, since the knight could take on f5 instead. But when he decided it in ten seconds I was shocked. He doesn’t know when to put on the theatrics. You have to be strong enough to do that. If I had this gadget I would be killing people left and right, and nobody would know.

<This is the real danger, because if a 2600 player has this thing, he knows exactly how to behave, he knows exactly when to think, and he doesn’t to use it more than four times during a game. That’s plenty to destroy anyone. At the critical junction you switch it on and find out which way do I go: oh, this little nuance I didn’t see, okay, fine, boom, goodbye! That’s it. At that point you may think for a long time, although you know the move.>

[emphasis added]

But this guy doesn’t know, he’s just mechanically playing the first move of the computer. Everyone is a clown to him. He says Kiril Georgiev, put me in a bunker with him and I will destroy him. The guy has no moral compunctions, he is absolutely immoral.>

People are picking up on his comments about how easy it would be for a 2600 player to selectively cheat with little chance of being detected.

<I'll promise it won't happen again>

Here's the original article that Naka harvested for content:

<In one email, Dlugy says that in 2017, he was playing in a tournament on Chess.com in front of his students, and was crowdsourcing moves from them. (This is, itself, a violation of Chess.com's fair play rules.) "I am now positive, that one of the kids, was using an program on his cell while this was going on," Dlugy wrote. "As you can imagine, I liked many of his moves, though I had no idea that he was using assistance to generate them.” Dlugy admitted in a later email that it was not the only time he cheated.

Dlugy was banned from Chess.com but was allowed to come back with a new username, and was eventually allowed to compete in tournaments again. In 2020, he was caught again. "I agree that I violated the rules as I had some help in some of the games from an outside source," Dlugy wrote in a 2020 email reviewed by Motherboard. "I promise it will not happen again." >

So, are we going to get selective leaks of <chess.com> for only certain violators?

My understanding is that there are hundreds, if not thousands, to go.

Let's open the floodgates, shall we?

<The emails, which were provided to Motherboard by Chess.com, is the latest shoe to drop in the discussion about cheating that started because Magnus Carlsen, the world's top player, accused Niemann, a 19-year-old student of Dlugy's, of cheating against him in a match.>

So, <chess.com> is apparently being rather selective in its reveals.

Somebody got on somebody's bad side it seems.

Look, <chess.com> has had a stink on it ever since they decided to suspend <Hans> on the day after he lost to Magnus. Dropping the entire block of emails on Dlugy to booster Carlsen's name dropping is also a bit suspect.

Let's see the data for one and all.

<The emails obtained by Motherboard show that, historically, Chess.com has seemingly preferred to handle cheating privately. With Carlsen's statement, the release of these emails, and the news that Chess.com recently banned Niemann for cheating on the platform, that position may be changing.

Post-after-post on this page too?

Who knew that stone fred to die is an expert on grandmasters Magnus Carlsen, Hans Niemann, AND Maxim Dlugy? (Reference about two dozen posts on Hans Nieman's page, and/or the tournament page, or the Carlsen page, etc.) All this from a rock who does not play tournament chess and struggles to learn the formalities and procedures. Impressive grandmaster insights at one's fingertips.

On behalf of all the good bears elsewhere, well, we just wish Fred would get his head out of the honey jar and put it back where it belongs.

Ain't gonna happen though - Fred is a know repeat offender who thinks cyberstalking is his career.

But are all chess talents who get their picture with Dlugy going to get the same treatment as Niemann?

I take it Max was not up for taking a photo so Lev Alburt offered to stand in?

And Al Capone said: <I agree that I was the mastermind.
