Block or bleed
Just been removed from the so called number 1 team block or bleed, I haven't timed out
once!! I'm not the greatest player I admit that, I got a stalemate in a winning position.. Totally
my fault.. So got kicked out.... Is it the fact that I didn't win that game or the fact that I
wouldn't cheat and use an engine like the captain has told me to do do on a number of
occasions (kingle) please admin mods look into block or bleed they have been number 1 for 1
reason and that's not chess,.. Kingle is one cheating w:;€er

lol stupid people
people who miscontrue messages into thinking their supposed to cheat are idiots as in the real reason he was let go was because he told our captain that he was a cheater. when the funny thing was 2 days before hand our captain should us a position similar to what villians game was to get us to study in how not to stalemate and the idiot probably needed an engine to figure it out thus he thought klingle used an engine thus my point being made of him being an idiot

what an odd accusation, if it was our captains suggestion to use an engine, why on earth would he painstakingly produce the 'tips of the day' designed and constructed to instruct and improve the play of team members, why would he play practice games with team members. In ateam of over fifty members why just you villian,why are you the only member that klingle has suggested (on numerous occasions) that you use an engine. Understandably you may be bitter about being removed from the number one team but take it like a man and dont make false accusations of foul play.

Block
In my early days in team chess with BoB I asked my captain if it was possible to ask team members for help
when struggling in a particular game. The answer was clear: no, no assistance in any occasion.
After that I've asked klingle to review my games asking for ideas of improvement. Amongst other things he
asked me to use more often the Analyse The Board fixture. Not an engine. With an engine I would be a 2K
player. But BoB is not like that.
Block or Bleed success is based on individual improvement. Klingle forces his team members to be
committed. After commitment comes improvement. He is an awesome captain.
Villian, my experience with BoB tells me you are a lying.

Block or Bleed
Kingle has personally helped me with my chess game shortly after I joined the team. I had a
streak of losing games and so he played a test match with me and explained to me what I was
doing wrong and the principles behind my mistakes. He also suggested some resources that
would help me improve my chess game. Not the type behaviour you would expect from a cheater
but rather the kind of behaviour you would expect from someone that recognises that hard work
and perseverance has its rewards.

Use Report Abuse Button!
Hi everyone!

If anybody sends you a pm suggesting that you use an engine or consult with anyone during a game and they say that they have done it, I would suggest that you hit the report abuse button by the pm and forward it to Gameknot immediately so that Gameknot do have concrete evidence that there is cheating going on. A few days ago a player in my Club (Walking the Walk and Learning to Run) admitted to using undue consultation with another member during a game and a series of other games in a pm to me and I reported him to Gameknot via the Report Abuse Button on the left of the message and after he was found guilty by gameknot and had his account suspended I booted him out of my Club. The player concerned was a mentor and a moderator and he was in a position of trust too!

I then put a message up in my Club saying that cheating will NOT be tolerated and made an example of the player concerned to act as a suitable deterrent.

You must ensure, that before you report anybody for cheating that you have concrete evidence before you proceed. Gameknot will not act in your favour if you do not have such evidence.

I hope this helps.

Kind regards

Joanne
