| Jan-28-06 | | EricCartman: <Daodejing> He's a loser indeed |
|
| Jan-28-06 | | notsodeepthought: He certainly "programmed" himself for higher-level chess between his game with Ambroz and the tournament cited in <Daodejing>'s link. |

|
| Dec-18-11 | | HectorChess: hey HEY! take it easy! maybe he's a genius after all... |
|
| Dec-18-11 | | JoergWalter: Going through the old chess magazines there is seemingly no definite proof of his cheating. On the other hand we now know that Fritz 5.32 would have won the event with ease had it officially played. |
|
| Dec-18-11 | | whiteshark: <JoergWalter> Well, I never! :D "News of Allwermanns achievement spread quickly – but perhaps not in the way the player himself may have anticipated. “Was a pocket Deep Blue used for brain doping” asked one newspaper, while Der Spiegel put it more sarcastically: <Move over Goethe, Beethoven and Einstein, here comes a new pinnacle of Teutonic genius>. Nobody was willing to believe that the amateur had done it all on his own. Especially not when other players discovered that you could reproduce virtually all of Allwermann’s moves with the chess program Fritz. All of this was revealed by Hartmut Metz in newspapers and <Schachmagazin 64>. He gave many examples that show it was not just the tactically brilliant shots played by Allwermann <but also bad, anti-positional moves that Fritz will duplicate." <!>> ibid. |
|
| Dec-18-11 | | JoergWalter: <whiteshark> that were exactly the articles I read. Lots of evidence but no conclusive proof. By the way, the evidence how a weak player could excel at a tournament were perverted by AJ Goldsby to reasons why he lost to Nakamura. |

 | | Fusilli: In addition to the immorality of his cheating, think about what a stupid losing proposition this is: would you give up the game that you supposedly love, being barred forever from playing tournaments (or at the very least forever closely watched and monitored), for $850? If he assumed his cheating would go unnoticed, that is naive and stupid beyond belief. |

In order to catch Johnny out, some of the locals gave him songs with errors in them--he replayed the mistakes. |

| May-09-21 | | Messiah: The Bagaturov-game is ridiculous. |
|
| May-09-21 | | Damenlaeuferbauer: My compatriot Clemens Allwermann should be "Player of the Day" on every April, 1. His two games against G. Bagaturov in 1998 and S. Kalinitschev one year later were great contributions to the chess of the second half of the 1990s in Germany. Considering his age of about 50 years, his development between 1991 and 1998 was quite astounishing. Unfortunately, he did not play further on in the new century. Maybe his business duties did not allow him to continue his career, which is very sad. |
