So, make up your mind. If Derbent is accused of cheating, what kind of ruling can there be? Only a technical loss. If there are no grounds for accusing him of cheating, then what are we even talking about?
There is no 100% proof.
Even screenshots/recordings made after the fact don't count, even if they existed.
Only a live stream during the incident, viewed by an independent expert, would be sufficient.
But at that time, we were only thinking about how to continue from the moment he attacked, without the possibility of additional actions.
And that's exactly what we're trying to achieve now.
Plus, we're trying to get a fix in the rules regarding saves, and hopefully, this will be done.
And the cheating – I wrote to my opponent in a private message after the 2nd game about loading not from an autosave and then passing the turn, but from his own save, saying "let this be on your conscience."
Now, that phrase can be repeated.
During the game itself, we agree to whatever the administrator comes up with, given his experience in resolving controversial situations.
That's essentially what we're asking for.
The misunderstanding with Khamay, I repeat, was not presented as a direct accusation, but as an illustration of the attitude towards the possible further course of the game – why we don't want to allow a replay.
But even if, theoretically, nothing can be figured out, the game must be finished; this is better than a replay.
All that is required from the administrator is rich experience – can the issue still be resolved in a way that satisfies both sides, and not just one?
