I told some players right away that I would be playing from a certain computer belonging to a certain person, and if they agreed, we'd play; otherwise, no deal.
Come on, Vigo, let's try to remember our game on Jebus Cross.
At first, you were online, then Vitalik joined.
By that time, based on your reports, I already understood that it wasn't you who was playing in the tournaments, but Vitalik.
But back then, I thought that it really just involved "help," meaning you visited each other, and he would occasionally play for you when you needed to step away.
So, I suggested that we play unexpectedly, in the evening after work. You started making excuses; you had to play with Kortunkov, and you seemed to have arranged something with him, although he wasn't online on ICQ. Then you decided to ask your wife if you could play with me. But about 10 minutes later, you finally agreed. After that, you went offline on ICQ, and I communicated with Vitalik directly. There was no way for Vitalik to get to you or vice versa.
Then, I was offered to play on the Vigo5 network.
Series 7. Hamachi network Vigo5.
This is an interesting network. Here are the players who were there at that time:
Javdet
but4er1100
AlexTheGreat
vbn-home
anonymous
Dreamcatcher
Rubaca Crag
Look how interesting this is. AlexTheGreat said then that he hadn't played with either you or Vitalik. I don't know who anonymous is.
And the rest of the players are those who played tournament games with you.
Dreamcatcher 24.02.2009 Jebus Cross Tournament
But4er 13.01.2009 Jebus Cross Tournament
vbn 30.11.2008 "Clans Wars: Online (Autumn 2008)" Tournament

By autumn, the following were added to the list:

Again, these are your tournament opponents.

Kebazavr 16.05.2009 Team Tournament: Spring 2009

sem-56 appeared on this network when this game was played:

This is very interesting because you played with him many times in the season before that, but not on this network.
At the same time, you were actively playing for rating. Why aren't those who you played with in the season present on the Vigo5 network? What kind of computer are you using to play exclusively tournaments? Why are exactly those players sitting on the Vigo5 network whose games Vitalik wrote reports about?
And here's an autumn screenshot:
