Regarding Katherine.

Katherine actually withdrew from the tournament herself after a winning match due to her cheating...

Where did you get this strange information? Only 3 (three) rounds were played, and the first two opponents were eliminated from the tournament. Only the last opponent decided to check the save files and suspected something. Only after the save files were given to the tournament judges, and then to me, was a proper analysis done, and the cheating was proven. She didn't intend to withdraw herself.

Currently, the situation is as follows. I received a private message from Katherine, in which she promises not to cheat again. Since some players expressed a desire to rehabilitate our cheater, I suggest that everyone who wants to play in the season with Katherine; the games will be counted. Mandatory conditions for Katherine - detailed reports/confirmations with save files. And also, check your own games. I believe that fair play will help her restore her good name.

Regarding RBW. I sent him a private message on March 25, 2012, at 22:23 with a request to comment on the situation. The message was received by him, as his last activity was on March 25, 2012, at 23:05. So, we'll wait for a response for the standard 3 days (which is quite enough to come up with something to say), and on Thursday, if no comments appear, we will decide what to do without him.
