Ben Finegold accuses Mark Plotkin of cheating -- on stream

I mean, he was a lot more humble when he was an IM.

Maybe you guys have a point. Shall we call him Ben Whinegold from now on?

All in favour say aye.

Aye.

GM Whinegold it is.

the checkmate in that video preview is next level troll

What's even more shocking is that he blocks him immediately after on chess.com and bans him from his Twitch channel, I think immediately refuting all suggestions that it might have been a joke.

@TheLAZYmd apparently when you report someone it blocks them automatically. I think that's what he said.

He literally says on video "so we'll have to block you / so how do we do that?" and then "there's no way to block... block!"

Oh yeah, I missed that. If he stopped there then it could have been brushed off as a bit of banter. But the 5 min rant is just pure salt.

It's funny to me that chess.com pays players to denigrate their own "superior" cheat detection.

"No matter how good chess.com thinks their detection system is, they're probably catching less than half the cheaters" - Ben Finegold - paid to play on chess.com not lichess. hahahaha

Is there a png somewhere? The game is too fast

@NeverBeenTimid talking about chess.com and Ben Finegold... When I posted about this on chess.com, chess.com deleted the forum.

@NeverBeenTimid Lichess told me you tagged me in this but I cant find the tag lol
