Chess player gets clean chit
– Singh might have to face frisking before national & international games
OUR CORRESPONDENT
Jamshedpur, March 8: City’s Diwakar Prasad Singh, who has been accused of using unfair means and taking external help to win games may get a clean chit from the All India Chess Federation (AICF) but he may still have to face the ignominy of frisking before national and international competitions.
It is believed that the 31-year-old who became an International Master (IM) last year, is not in very good terms with top chess players of the country, who are members of the Chess Players Association of India (CPAI) and pushed for a probe against Singh’s alleged misdemeanours.
“Singh has a dubious background. He cannot be believed in a hurry,” an official of the AICF said. The official, who requested anonymity, said chances of Singh getting frisked before every chess competition cannot be ruled out.
Sources revealed that the CPAI, on whose request the AICF formed a five-member committee to probe Singh’s alleged misdemeanours, may also request AICF to conduct the frisking exercise on the chess player.

This seems fair. No reason to punish the small fry unduly harshly when the big kahunas like Vladmir Kramnik get off scott free.
Will the Topalov fan Trolls ever stop trying to put Kramnik down?
Kramnik never cheated.
If you want to find a cheater then just wait the evidence is mounting.
Today I got in the Book
THE GREAT BRIDEG SCANDAL.
I find it interesting that even after the bridge people were found guilty one of the worshipers of them still continued to support them. Before the evidence was known this bridge person was running around claiming the people were the greatest bridge players in the world. after the evidence of cheating came out, he still would not accept that his hero cheated.
I do not want to get into the details of this bridge person. But it so reminds me of the Topalov Trolls.
From this we can expect the Topalov Trolls to live a long life. They will probably continue to mindlessly trash out against innocent Kramnik. Just their attempt to change the focus to an innocent person.
Is there any evidence suggesting that this fellow actually cheated? Or we’re back to the 13-th Century looking for witches? All I’ve seen tossed as evidence so far so far wouldn’t help even Torquemada in his quest.

“Will the Topalov fan Trolls ever stop trying to put Kramnik down?
Kramnik never cheated.”
This is the one Kramnik worshipper who wont accept his hero cheated.
Can you imagine how fast computers will be once they get these multi-core processors going? they will be able to search 30 ply in about 2 seconds! How bad will the cheating be then?
A man with a clean chit should not be subjected to the ignominy of a frisking exercise. This is very dubious indeed.

IM Timothy Taylor, Los Angeles, CA, USA
My wife and I have recently been the victim of a false cheating accusation by a junior player at the 2006 American Open. The tournament director, Randy Hough (a well known chess politician in the US) refused to investigate the claim but simply took action against my wife and me. I have forty years of good reputation in chess, and yet when an influential person like Hough acted against me (on no evidence whatsoever) I was able to see first hand the damage to my reputation. A simple look at the game would have cleared matters up, but Hough refused to look at the game, either during the tournament or afterward.
There is in interesting postscript: I wrote commissioned articles both for Chess Life and Jeremysilman.com on these issues, and both articles were killed by the editors, Dan Lucas of Chess Life and Jeremy Silman, for alleged unfairness to Randy Hough – though I was the one who was falsely accused, and all I wrote of Hough was directly seen and heard by myself and my wife.
