Life In 19x19

I usually play without thinking to relax when I'm home.

When I go to the club I try to teach the others and to study togheter.

If I go to a tournament I try to study and improve, but I'm usually too lazy to get some results. So I just don't care, to improve or not to improve, that is not the ...

In addition, the last thing I wanted to say is that any case has to be judge with his gravity and consequences.
If I cheat and win a final game to one of the first place in the tournament, it has a weight. But cheating from an amateurish team that plays to remain in A league, in a game that could ...

Oh, I'm sorry Javaness I've got out of theme!

They had reason to suspect Metta of cheating. As long as that is so, other motives they may have had are irrelevant.

I think motivations are important Bill, and that it is important to keep it in mind when judging a situation.

Moreover, the Italian team motivation to cheat was nothing: no ...

As explained by someone here or in other threads, they fill a complain against that particular game beacuse that was the game with the most similarity rate according to a measure took by some self-called "experts". So maybe it was just an excuse for presenting a formal appeal by one of the team ...

However, indeed your tournament looked like a nice event to enjoy.

Thank you very much.


Good for him, that he is happy again, but then, doesn't he want to answer the bunch of arised question by himself and not through your 'appeals team'?

This is up to him. I understand he has lot of work ...

Having the lunch together, he told us of our ranking system that is the best in the world. I wanted to say it to Ales that I know has ...

I have found another simple reason, why Carlo should be unseated from EGC main referee's position. The Italian side experssed, that he is depressed and afraid to speak on public. Following this logic, will not he be afraid to speak on public also on EGC, where he has to control 1000 players ...

Spero possa essere d’aiuto, un caro saluto, Mirco.

And please, don't blame us for wasting your time. Even though you are indeed right, that this scandal takes a lot of time and I believe you are very busy with the EGC, which we all are looking forward to attend. However, you should better ask yourself, why did all of you in Italy create such a ...

Hello, after 13 pages of posts over this argument, I think the
statistical analysis of the "method" used to accuse Carlo Metta can
help. You can find it here: http://frmor.net/misc.html. Hoping it
stops this unhelpful loosing of time, with kind regards, Mirco.

Hello, hello,


I always believed that such behavior wouldn't happen in League A because we basically all know each other, we are friends or acquaintances, there is a mutual respect of the game and of the players. Italy goes up to league A and all goes to sh*t ? (ok, no joke about italians cheating ...
