Either way you should take it up with the chess server, I do not think this
place should be one for naming suspected cheats on chess servers. You should
have kept to your first thought about not naming him until he has either been
proved and kicked out of playing chess on the servers, until then one person
supporting your suspected view on this person on here does not make him guity,
and is slander.
I know we had this king of thing happen before and then too I was against naming
names.
