For those who don't know, here is the ChessBase cheat detection program at work:
This year for Christmas, I managed to make several people donate some money for charity and use Arena instead of paying for ChessBase products and get kicked by corrupt sysops.
For once I would like to know the reasons of your hatred for Chessbase. Surely there are many. I, as simple consumer, has nothing to regret or complain. I consider Chessbase products the very best in every sense. Maybe my candid opinion comes from the fact I do not use it in full, just play games, things rare these days...
many more stuff like this with other sysops too, have several screenshots, after the release of the Arena update I might publish them, except... they decide to do something about their sysops...
I can tell you that if the Miguel Ballicora interview had 500 hits, this article will have several thousend, I am sure ChessBase will enjoy it.
Sysops calling paying users "taliban" ..., sysops who divulge registration data of users,...I have so much stuff, I bet material for 40-50 pages. This will be fun...
Sysop? what a heck is that? You see, I have no info about these things. What a wonderful thing is to be deceived without knowing it! I just open CB, play a game against one engine and that is all. Never go to internet service, no care for the database, just entertained by the voice and the game.
