A Player VERY well known to all that post here has just won $10,000 dollars at the world open in the under 1600 section http://www.worldopen.com/results/1600.htm , finishing with a near perfect score, 8.5 out of 9(giving a courtesy draw in the last round)!! Last year this same player played in a section below this, the under 1400 and could only barely get 3.5 out of 9! This is not a kid, but a man probably in his early 40s! At the tournament he had an ear piece and headphones at every game! He also played a new opening almost every game! He has been week, and has never shown any performance even remotely close to this. He has further gained extensive knowledge about computer chess from this forum. I saw one game where he could have won a queen for a rook, but instead he went for a more complcated tactic to win a rook out right very computer like calculation of 5 points vs 4 for the exchange. This, when any human would have certainly gauranteed the win by just taking the queen!
