JUDGMENT

Oh, well, you're all right in your own way!!!!
There's another problem here... Trust!! Who will be able to trust him now?? And will other tournament organizers agree to accept a person with a tarnished reputation into their tournament... I'm sure Adelaide won't want to...
In general, the situation is very difficult and serious. On the one hand, disqualification is what he deserves, and as Botinki noted, he should have read the rules and known what awaited him... And he shouldn't be forgiven either, so that others won't be tempted to do the same....
But on the other hand, he can be forgiven. He made this mistake in his youth (we all were too impulsive and ambitious in our youth, wanting everything at once, without doing anything... I think he didn't even remember the rules when he broke them...). And he still doesn't understand one simple truth: that victory is a hundred times more valuable if it is achieved honestly, even if it is very difficult!! And you also need to know how to lose with dignity!!! But now he has experienced firsthand what it's like when people don't trust you, when some even despise you, when not everyone wants to communicate with you... This escapade did him a disservice!!! And not only on our forum, but also on others, this story will be known - as it is a scandal, albeit not of global proportions.... And we love scandals!! And now it will be very difficult for him!!!
But still, he can be forgiven... For the first time... And this topic can be posted as a lesson to others with the note: this is the FIRST AND LAST judgment of a cheater! And all subsequent cheaters will be expelled in disgrace and without trial!!!!
But another question is: how will he be able to stay here after this...?!!
So it's hard to say with certainty what awaits him...
