@DKrueger Even then, the number will be so high, it probably cannot be counted to in billions of lifetimes. I think that the only way is some kind of mathematical proof, like on a much lower level, why a negative times a negative is a positive, for example.

@peterh-ReinstateMonica Peter, it is now past dinnertime here, and I really need to go eat. It was an absolute pleasure meeting you, and informative. You have a wonderful night, and thank you again.

@peterh-ReinstateMonica Out of all my accepted answers, I have that one guy at 14, and then two 5's, three 4's, and five 3's, 13 2's and the rest 1's. I think I am safe. :)

@peterh-ReinstateMonica I just ran that on myself, and I have one guy, who accepted 14 of my answers out of 306 answers to her 16 accepted out of 86 questions. When I saw 14, I was surprised, but the guy is a long-time member of many communities and predates my account by years.

I know they deleted it. I have not reported the person yet, so they do not know who it is. You are the only one I have told, other than the comments where I called her out.

@peterh-ReinstateMonica I worry about that a little from a standpoint of it may look bad. I have A LOT of people, who know me as PM for decades now. I am quasi-friends with Peter Svidler from the ICC days, and he mentions me a lot on chess24 broadcasts, so even today, I am seen a lot online. I have had people, who voted, and clearly read A BUNCH of my answers in a row that got adjusted later.

@peterh-ReinstateMonica Even with a free account, feel free to send me a friend request there. I get a free diamond account for life due to my title, which is nice. I am also a member of chess24.com and ICC (although when it runs out, after 23+ years, I won't be anymore)

@peterh-ReinstateMonica She is this user. No idea what she could have without the self-upvotes. That is not what bothers me. chess.stackexchange.com/users/3594/phonon

@peterh-ReinstateMonica Is chess.com owned by the same company as Stack Exchange?
PhishMaster
Feb 18, 2020 23:55
I am not worried about that. You know something about chess, and if you read my answers, you can see I produce good content. I just do not like cheaters, and when I called her out, she said things that warrant punishment.
PhishMaster
Feb 18, 2020 23:52
@peterh-ReinstateMonica That is what I am worried about with her...they will not do anything because, it is admittedly good.
PhishMaster
Feb 18, 2020 23:51
@peterh-ReinstateMonica Well, like I said, I have overwhelming evidence, and I intend to spell it out for them, I was ANGRY, so I spent two days pouring over a mountain of data she left. They will not need to do much to check it out.

@peterh-ReinstateMonica Not begging for votes since most days I go over the 20 votes anyway, and I my peak was over 50, and have hit 45 a number of times, but if you join the Chess SE, and look at my favorited questions, and read my answers. I have a lot of specific advice. I do not favorite my own answers because they are mine, but just so I can find them again.

@peterh-ReinstateMonica I was on Super User under my real name a log time ago. I made the top 10, and 15,000 points in just 67 days. I left because the moderators just piss me off to no end.

@peterh-ReinstateMonica Oh, I will be doing that. It goes without saying.

@peterh-ReinstateMonica What rule is that?
PhishMaster
Feb 18, 2020 23:35
At least you are not banned on all your sites.
PhishMaster
Feb 18, 2020 23:34
@peterh-ReinstateMonica I may just out her, and leave now. I am too old to really care what they think.
PhishMaster
Feb 18, 2020 23:34
@peterh-ReinstateMonica I liked your definition of what was wrong: anything what (s)he could not do with a single account, is forbidden. Frankly, I was just trying to get the Legendary badge, and then retire. Being a master, by answers are usually very good, but also the title gets a lot of respect in the community, and I have been around forever (since 1997) as PhishMaster.

@peterh-ReinstateMonica This is what is wrong with this site: Everyone is so judgmental. The little tyrants deleted the question instead of answering. I know they do not like the idea of my airing it in public, but tough.

@peterh-ReinstateMonica Since I joined, and I always live on my computer as an IT consultant, I have a browser open, and have answered A LOT of questions, and I know I cannot come close to 29 minutes on average...I sleep. I know stats can lie, but the kicker is that she has had the SP account since 2017, so her writings are extensive. The constructions and in particular, some of her formatting, are TOTALLY unique.
PhishMaster
Feb 18, 2020 23:26
@peterh-ReinstateMonica She used to ask questions, stopped, and then the SP account popped up. She has asked and answered 16/17 questions (the last 16) from one user, and all the bounties went to the main account. In addition, those 16 questions in a row, and she has ELABORATE answers, she answered in an average of 29 minutes. Only once was she over an hour at 66 minutes. They account for 18% of all her answers. Her average for the rest of the questions she has answered is a couple minutes under 5 hours.

@peterh-ReinstateMonica Thanks Peter. She is incredibly intelligent, but other than denying it when I called her out about it, she has done nothing to hide it.

@Joshua I am 58, so I certainly remember folding boards, but if there were a way to prove someone still set it up wrong, I would bet that someone still managed. :)
PhishMaster
Feb 17, 2020 14:56
My thoughts are that if, after learning the game and playing more than a couple of games, you have trouble remembering it, maybe chess just isn't for you. There is not exactly a lot to remember here. :)
PhishMaster
Feb 17, 2020 14:56
@TannerSwett only if you are looking from the side of the board. "Lower", on the other hand, is relative. I think most people understand what I meant, especially since I purposely included a picture.

@yobamamama

For a guy, who clearly fancies himself as being bright, I don’t believe that I have to actually explain the English to you, but here goes. "You have a wrong answer for everything" is a play on “You have an answer for everything", meaning you never stop arguing even when you are wrong…it is talking about your constant need to respond…RESPONSES. It means that even without the “wrong” that I added. It is subtle, but it is not the same as “I am wrong on EVERYTHING???”, which includes both responses and everything else, which I did not address. I was saying that you just do not know…

@Universal_learner Thank you. I hope you have a great year too. Don't worry about your English. I understand you just fine.
PhishMaster

@Universal_learner It predates my 40 years of playing, so I am not really a pioneer; but it is not surprising that other endeavors use the same term.

@David Hi David. Has anyone figured out "Edward Edwards"? I read somewhere that it has to do with winning a bounty, but not much more.
