Regardless what we discuss here, I flagged the clickbait video as a violation of YouTube's terms of service:
> This is bullying because the video creator is irresponsibly making vague defamatory claims. For decades chess journalists have used the word "cheat" to describe gaining an unfair advantage; words have meanings and no disclaimer changes that.
HE IS A CHEATER
Yes, HE IS
@Toadofsky YouTube doesn't care unless it's a copyright report. Only like 1000 bullying reports are gonna do something.
That's definitely a violation of rules and should involve ban. Also there was a sound that chessbase produces when an illegal move is made. Pretty sad to see such cases, of people streaming and at the same time trying to fool opponents/audience.
If he was playing a training game with his friend, and they agreed they could use chessbase/books/whatever, it would be okay, but then it was worth telling the audience what was going on.
I agree using chessbase during a game should involve a ban because if you know that many grandmasters played this line you will too and could give you a good advantage.
He should be banned by license because of using chessbase.
Exactly. Should CLEARLY be banned
I agree
My opinion on this is that he is an IM, and should know more about chess than the rest of us. Because he is a coach as well, he is setting a bad example for everyone. He should be banned, and not given only a warning.
@IMAndrasToth don't ignore this, what do you think?
