Are there any others who want to speak up? I'm willing to give them a
place to speak up their mind in my homepage.


It`s really interesting what was the criterion of cheating in Dos Hermanas
qualifiers. And how did they (organizers) find out the cheaters. Shouldn`t
they publish the cases and the proofs ?

If ICC would reveal the cases and evidence, ICC would lose control of
the server very fast. Chaos, zizany, outrage, shouts coming from all
directions would arise. This silence and secrecy policy is also
observed on all other ICSes, with maybe the only exception when the
WICC of the FIDE was held.
ICC is mainly governed by the law of the market, and not by any chess
organization.

"The ICC tournament directors may at their discretion make a ruling on
a particular game, eject a player from a tournament (...) for any
reason including but not limited to: (...) suspicion of chess
computer use, suspicion that a player is receiving assistance, (...)
or the fact that this player has been caught violating ICC rules in
the past."

Their rules and policies for prize tourneys is that suspicions alone
is sufficient to disqualify/eject from the tourney someone. It's been
like that for the last 5 years.
But that did not stop at least 1 cheater from winning a prize in 1999:
not a big prize (free months or something like that) but
nevertheless... I'm sure there were several other cases like that.
