Hi Mustafa,

  I've been to WCN and it seems like a very nice place to play chess.  Admins
were helpful and everything, just what you would expect from a pay-to-play site.

  However the Admins there have their ways of detecting cheating.  I don't know
how but there must have been a reason for it.  I'm not accusing you of cheating,
but how exactly do you "beat their site pro's" but then lose some other games in
4 or 12 moves?  I mean if you're at that caliber I would expect even the
shortest losses to come at maybe 20 moves?  Perhaps you intentionally threw
games to try and throw off the Admins?  I don't know

  Maybe I'm wrong, maybe it was a bad choice by the Admins, but I'm sure they
know their stuff well enough.  I don't think the experience of 1 person should
discourage everyone else.

My 2 cents.
