This isn't about life and making illegal choices and going to prison and reforming. This is a competition with rules.
Should be that if you cheat- lifetime ban. Period.
Stop cheating dead except by the most desperate. Temporary bans are something cheaters are willing to take.
Lifetime bans are not.
We see time and again that when cheating is not rooted out it becomes endemic, as the only way to compete becomes to cheat. At that point the rules are suggestions.
- timeon 4y agoWasn't he like 16 years old?
- effingwewt 4y agoAge is irrelevant. If he is competing he needs to follow the rules. The wonderful thing about chess is it's a great equalizer. Young and old, rich and poor- anyone can learn and even possibly become great. If you compete with adults you must be held to the same standards. If you worry that under a certain age is too young to be held to such standards (which I totally understand!), they should have separate leagues. He cheated multiple times- apparently more than he admitted to, and on the same platform.
