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.
