Well, readers, all good things must come to an end. This is part 5, the final part of my series where I've walked you through the tools, techniques and pieces of the Microsoft Cloud BI puzzle that you'll need to start developing your own Microsoft BI solutions that are Cloud (mostly, perhaps a bit hybrid) BI solutions.
- Part 1: Microsoft Cloud BI Pieces
- Part 2: Microsoft Cloud BI Pieces
- Part 3: Microsoft Cloud BI Pieces
- Part 4: Microsoft Cloud BI Pieces
We've talked about created data marts using Microsoft's cloud database, SQL Azure, based off your large on-premises SQL Server data warehouse using SSIS or data synch. We've touched on creating analysis reports and dashboards with PowerPivot, SSRS and SQL Azure Reporting Services directly off that cloud data. And then we created some Azure-based dashboards and Web apps that used ASP.NET and Silverlight to present the business intelligence reports back to the user on a variety screens from PC to laptop to mobile devices.
As promised, I am wrapping things up with a look into the future of Microsoft Cloud BI. I am going to break this look into the future into 3 bullet items: SQL Server Data Mining in the Cloud, BI 3.0: Social BI and Cloud BI in SQL Server 2012.
1. SQL Server Data Mining in the Cloud
The Microsoft BI Labs team has been working on a project to put SQL Server data mining in the cloud. If you've ever used the SQL Server data mining add-in for Excel, then you'll be familiar with this new lab tool. It has the same concept of importing data into an spreadsheet and then running one of the SQL Server data mining algorithms against your data for the purposes of finding key influencers, market basket, classifications, etc. This site is a great example of BI in the cloud and is experimental, so not all of the models that you come to expect from the Excel add-in are available from this glimpse into the future project.
2. BI 3.0: Social Business Intelligence
A very important set of use cases for Cloud BI has emerged around Social BI or BI 3.0. Some vendors are running with the concepts of Social BI 3.0, such as what Panorama is doing with their Necto product. Social collaboration and integration of social networking weaved directly into the business intelligence experience is a direction within the BI solution space that I am very excited by. We pioneered these efforts at Microsoft with the integration of SharePoint, PerformancePoint, SSRS and SQL Server where SharePoint is the key to BI 3.0 by leveraging the social collaboration capabilities of SharePoint. This is a natural progression from BI 2.0 which was pioneered by efforts like our Microsoft Enterprise Cube (MEC) project which brought interactive visualization through Silverlight to the existing out-of-the-box visualizations in PerformancePoint and SSRS together in SharePoint. Once social media took off as a natural part of life and enterprise collaboration, adding in that capability through SharePoint was a very easy and natural extension of BI 2.0, such as what Bart Czernicki described in his Silverlight for BI book.
3. SQL Server 2012
There are a couple of advances in SQL Server 2012 that have been announced recently that will help you on the road to Cloud BI with SQL Server. First, one of the most talked-about features in SQL Server 2012 is Project Crescent, which provides report authors with a fully browser-based Silverlight experience for report authoring. You could use that tool instead of the thick-client Report Builder tool. Also, the new DAC and data synch capabilities in both Azure and SQL Server 2012 will make it much easier to migrate on-premises databases to the cloud and to keep them synched-up. If you wish to implement the suggested architecture from this series of an EDW on-premises, then SQL Server 2012 will help with your data warehouse by including columnstore indexes for your fact tables and you can then synch that data to SQL Azure data marts with data synch.

Isaiah Washington Films 'Blackbird' For 'Noah's Arc' Creator Patrik-Ian Polk
It's been a long road to redemption for actor Isaiah Washington, who was fired from ABC's Grey's Anatomy following a 2006 confrontation with co-star Patrick Dempsey, in which he hurled the word "faggot" allegedly in reference to his gay co-star T.R. Knight. Since leaving the show, Washington has worked hard to make amends, appearing in ads for GLAAD and meeting with other LGBT organizations like GLSEN.
The actor has now completed work on Noah's Arc creator Patrik-Ian Polk's latest film Blackbird, in which he plays a sympathetic father to a gay teen.
Deadline reports:
"Isaiah Washington, whose run on Grey's Anatomy ended when he got caught up in a scandal in which cast mates said had used homophobic slurs, has just finished Blackbird, a film by writer/director Patrik-Ian Polk. Washington plays the sympathetic father of a talented teen singer who is gay and struggling with it in a small Southern Baptist town. Washington produced with Polk and Carol Ann Shine with Keith Brown the exec producer."
What do you think, Instincters? Has Washington finally been able to turn a corner?
Is the LGBT community ready to forgive?

Brandon Dubinsky tries to contain Sidney Crosby
PITTSBURGH — Brandon Dubinsky knows Sidney Crosby will get scoring chances.
For Dubinsky, the Columbus Blue Jackets centre who goes over the boards when Crosby does for the Pittsburgh Penguins, it's about ensuring Crosby doesn't get a lot of them.
"He is one of the … probably the best player in the world, and you just try to be in his face as much as you can," Dubinsky said on Saturday morning.
"Look, you're never going to shut a guy like that down. He is too good a player but you have to do your best to try to contain him and limit his scoring chances. Instead of having six or seven in a game, (try to) keep him to one or two."
Game 2 of the Eastern Conference best-of-seven quarterfinal goes tonight at the Consol Energy Center. Dubinsky did a good job on Crosby in Game 1 as No. 87 had just an assist and was minus-2, but the Penguins' depth made up the difference in a 4-3 Pittsburgh victory.
The Blue Jackets, looking for the first playoff win in franchise history, will have forward R.J. Umberger back in the lineup, and he is expected to play on a line with Artem Anisimov and Blake Comeau. Jared Boll is the likely scratch with Umberger, who had an upper-body injury, back in.
Forward Nick Foligno (knee) skated but will not play. He is possible for Game 3 on Monday night in Columbus.
"It was hard to watch (Game 1), especially a playoff game in my home town," said Umberger, a native of Pittsburgh.
"You want to get out there as much as you can helping your guys and your team. I'm excited to be back tonight.
"Hopefully I can bring a lot of energy and some puck possession down low and get in front of (Penguins goalie Marc-Andre) Fleury and battle. Use my big body."
The Penguins expect the 6-foot-2, 214-pound Umberger, who had 18 goals during the regular season, to make an impact.
"He is a big guy, brings some physical play to their lineup, he is good in front of the net and can score goals," Crosby said. "He is a veteran guy and has lots of experience, so yeah, I would expect them to get a boost from that."

Heh, er, Dracul was more of a patch "flavour text" than an actual note, we deliberately shoved him under the "Added More Quests" general umbrella to afford players a little mystery rather than dictating exactly what was new.
The Goblins were in from the beta start, but we tweaked the math about a version ago to make sure that their subdungeon would spawn much more frequently than before.
Once we get more main quests lining the directional dungeons (instead of just flat victories), we're hoping that players will just happen to stumble across these situations more often without having to intentionally LOOK for them.

Three French players accused of cheating; one pleads not guilty
In a communiqué on its website the French Chess Federation (EFF) has accused GMs Sébastien Feller and Arnaud Hauchard and IM Cyril Marzolo of cheating. No details were given, but the federation announced that it has "initiated on December 22, 2010 disciplinary action". One of the players, GM Feller, has already issued an official statement denying everything.
Maxime Vachier-Lagrave might be doing quite well in Wijk aan Zee, but still the French chess scene is talking about something else at the moment. Last Friday, the French Chess Federation issued the following communiqué on its website:
French Chess Federation engages its Disciplinary Committee against members of the France team for cheating
The French Chess Federation (EFF) announced that it has initiated on December 22, 2010 disciplinary action against the International Grandmasters Sébastien Feller and Arnaud Hauchard and against International Master Cyril Marzolo, following suspicions of "organized cheating, serious breach of ethics in sport and undermining the image of the Olympic national team during the Chess Olympiad that took place in Khanty-Mansiysk (Russia), September 21 to October 3, 2010.
Information on this procedure has also been sent to the International Chess Federation (FIDE), and the Ministry of Sports, as the overseeing administration of the FFE.
Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines, 21 January 2011
Apparently the federation has good reason not to provide any details, and even better reasons to publish their accusation anyway. It's safe to say that the three players are accused of using computer help during games, which was also more or less confirmed in an interview with French Chess Federation's Vice President Leo Battesti, who mentions that it's "difficult to cope with technological developments" when games are being "live broadcasted".
In its communiqué the French Chess Federation refers to the Olympiad in Khanty-Mansiysk, where 19-year-old Sébastien Feller played very well. Rated 2649, he won the gold medal on board 5 with a score of 6/9 and a TPR of 2708. The other GM mentioned, Arnaud Hauchard, was team captain in Khanty-Mansiysk.
We tried to reach both Feller and Hauchard via email. The latter didn't respond yet, but Feller sent us the following "official statement" (translated into English by us):
I completely deny the accusations of cheating from the French Chess Federation. This disciplinary procedure is in fact related to the fact that during the Olympiad I supported the current FIDE President, which was contrary to the policy of the French Chess Federation. The President of FIDE is in fact defamed on the blog of Jean-Claude Moingt [President of the French Chess Federation - CV], which claims that the President has profited from fictitious proxies.
In addition, I have repeatedly mentioned in private conversations accounting irregularities of the French Chess Federation (details will be given later), which have angered the president. I asked my lawyer, Charles Morel, to initiate legal action against the French Chess Federation for creating damages on my side by having unjustifiably mentioned my name in a statement included on all French and foreign sites, as well as in the international press.
The aforementioned Leo Battesti calls Feller's accusations "pathetic":
And insulting to our president and his federation. I think this young player is ill advised because instead of taking responsibility, he tries to distract by disrespecting the honor of a great man of French Chess.
There are several examples of cheating in chess, but also several examples of accusations without proof. The fact that a federation is taking measures to some very strong players indicates that they possess at least some form of proof. We'll have to wait and see what it looks like, and what will happen to Hauchard, Feller and Marzolo (and Feller's gold medal).

Possible I read over it, but does it say anywhere who actually noticed the cheating, or brought it under the attention of the FFE?

I completely agree with you, they look like FOOLS...

I spoke to a strong French chess player who told me this. Guess he knows the French chess scene better than you...

OK, I apologize for the tone of my post, but I mentioned my source. It comes down to what one considers "the chess scene". The inner circle may be bigger than I thought (100, maybe 1000 players). I don't know who follows and comments on france-echecs.com, to me it seems similar to the utrechtschaak forum in the Netherlands.
If something similar was underway in the Netherlands, GMs, IMs and journalists (e.g. Peter Doggers) might know about it prior to publication. But average club players (e.g. myself) wouldn't - and for me they are also part of the chess scene. Basically I wondered about and questioned your "almost everyone ...".

I also apologize for the tone of my post. It's just that you leave so many comments and read almost all chess sites, which sometimes seems to make you a bit over-confident, and also, sometimes this gives the impression that you try to find fault with everything ('op alle slakken zout leggen' in Dutch). But still, your input is appreciated!

I find it strange that a federation goes public with names accusing their own players of cheating without giving any other details about the incident.
It is even mentioned in the initial press release, that they are SUSPECTING them. But if it's all about suspicions, why go public with the names?
- Log in to post comments
The fishy thing here is that this comes out kind of too late after the event itself.
If they were strong evidence it would have been spotted on site don't you think?
most cases of cheating are either caught (world open) or debated (toilet-gate and mamediarov) on site just after the incident because of the nature of such evidence.
if there was strong evidence, why the officials there wouldn't have noticed anything (knowing the importance of the event) and still awarded Feller of a gold medal ?
I can't imagine the FFE realeasing such a statement without strong evidence, but yet they release the names of the players but not how and when they would have committed their cheating.

This is a really terrible situation. As a member of the French Federation (even though I'm not yet ranked...and still just an amateur) paying my yearly fees, I have to say I don't understand what's going on here.
Either, the FFE goes public WITH PROOFS and a clear cut case... or they don't.
But here it's just an invitation for tons of shitty innuendos and this is just disgusting.
On a personal level, I don't really believe these accusations:
-why would Hauchard and Feller take so much risks for the Olympiads? Is that just an important competition?
It doesn't make sense and right now I'm really pissed at the FFE officials who are handling this situation very badly.
I mean Hauchard is VAchier Lagrave's coach for godsake and we're in the middle of Wijk with MVL having to play Carlsen, Nakamura, Anand and Kramnik?! What kind of stupid timing is that?
Very sad anyway...

In the sake of fairness, any player should never be pointed as a cheater unless it's fully demonstrated. This said, it is even worse that officers of a big federation go public without being even close to a final veredict.
To my mind, even after all this time, Mamedyarov is insane and Kurnosov is a very strong GM playing a handful natural-looking moves out from standard opening preparation. BTW, at the 4NCL, a shared a couple of cigarrettes with him outside the playing hall... He was wearing a jeans and a T-shirt... No place to hide an electronic gadget whatsoever... What's wrong with smoking other than lung cancer???

I'm not at all convinced by what the FFE is doing. They initiated the procedure a month ago. Why releasing those vague accusations now? What was the sudden urgency?
The vice-president of the FFE thought Feller's counter-accusations were pathetic. But how on earth were those players supposed to defend against such uncircumstantial accusations? It's like accusing someone of murder but refusing to say who is the victim.

Don't be angry! I gave a comment because this is a very interesting issue.
I remember that my son was playing with a young boy at a tournment. I was smoking outside just beside the door. The boy's father and the boy came out, they were talking about Rc4 or something like it. I went back to the hall and took a look at my son's game. Oh My God! If the boy moves R to c4, my son totally lose. But I have to say It was a very complicate game. It beyond my son and the boy's capblity to see it. Of course, my son lost. When I saw my son with tears in eye, I thought I had to do something. I talked with the Organizer. He signed and said: it hard to prove.
So I think it will be same result in the case we are talking about. it hard to prove. The result will be 'everyone keep what they said'.
But the way the FFE work is not right for sure.

I was just angry at your insinuation that Aro and me could be one and the same person - if it all was an issue of your non-native English, I retract the "Huuuuh!!???" :) .
In your example, your case would have been stronger (maybe still not strong enough) if you had an independent witness. Apparently - assuming Aro's story is true, why would anyone make this up? - this was the case in Biel: "I [Aro] and other players ... told the organizers". But I repeat that only the organizers (and Hauchard himself) could confirm the story. It is actually unclear if Pelletier complained himself, or even whether he was aware of what was supposedly going on.

If the SUPPOSED cheating was at the Olympiad in Russia, then, FFE has nothing to do here. First, because the tournament was under another jurisdiction (FIDE), and second, because the FFE officials were present at the Olympiad, and could just have "retired" the team if there was a suspicious of cheating.
Besides, giving the names and some details to publicity, before giving the players the chance of defending on the tribunal, is a very bad thing. Let me suppose they are innocent (and indeed they are unless an impartial judge gives its veredict)... they have just suffered a severe damage to their reputations.
From a legal point of view, I dont think FFE can penalize a player for (what? we dont know) something which was not pelalized in the tournament by the proper tournament auithorities.
- Log in to post comments
From a legal point of view, you may well be wrong: Football rules could apply. If an arbiter misses an incident because it happened behind his back and that incident was captured on TV, a player can still be punished. Official punishment is decided by the federation, but a club can still impose additional (e.g. financial) penalties on his player.
In the given case, it _seems_ that evidence became available only after the Olympiad. No idea why this is the case, but I presume that at least some evidence exists - else the FFE will be in a very awkward situation sooner or later, they can't be that stupid ... . Moreover, the FFE did contact FIDE who will be in charge of handling the situation on an international level. All the French federation can do is ban the players for events in or representing France, and fire Hauchard as coach of the national team.

You don't have to talk to the players to relay moves. I'm pretty certain it would be possible to have someone who doesn't play chess very well look like a master with some of the tech-tools now available - if:
1. Moves were relayed outside and could be evaluated with an engine there.
You wouldn't even have to have a person in the hall. Either you can set up a "buzzer" in the shoes of the player, or elsewhere on his body; or you can use light signals or other unobtrusive signals, in the hall itself.
Just modify a blutooth buzzer, if you want.
This is a real problem, and needs to be addressed.

Yes, "innocent till proven guilty". But my interpretation is that, right or wrong, after one month of investigations the French federation considers them proven guilty even though the formal procedure will take another few weeks or months. Should they receive tournament invitations in the meantime?
Overall, the Battesti interview is too long to translate and has "more words than facts" but I found one part interesting: "As organizer of international events I was often alerted by certain behaviors. But often, under the legitimate presumption of innocence, without evidence, without precise witness testimonials, it is difficult to interfer." It follows that the evidence is stronger in the given case!?
The story already circulates for two days, Chessvibes commendably waited until Feller had his chance to reply. Outside of France, Jan Gustafsson first mentioned it on his blog - he might have heard it from one of Feller's teammates playing in Wijk aan Zee (Vachier-Lagrave, Fressinet, Tkachiev), BTW according to Battesti they are all 100% innocent. Two comments (on france-echecs.com and Gusti's blog) suggest that Feller and Hauchard may be repeat offenders:
- Feller was already banned for two years on the Playchess server because of cheating.
- Hauchard got external assistance during the Biel Open last year: A Frenchman was analyzing his ongoing game against Pelletier with a laptop, then rushing to the tournament hall to talk to Hauchard. Others contacted the organizers, it seems that the Frenchmen are no longer welcome in Biel.
[These are just rumors, I hesitated to spread them - but, unlike me, Peter Doggers might be in a position to either verify or falsify them.]

Can you give the link to the Hauchard's cheating case? I am very sceptical.

(comment by Aro 23.1.2011 12:55)
Literally he writes "as far as I know the French are banned for Biel". An anonymous poster on the Internet may or may not be right, only the Biel organizers (and Hauchard himself) would know.

lol so you repeat a random comment from an anonymous user of Gustafsson's blog???
you can't be serious ??
I mean the chess world was chocked by a teenager cheating with his PS3 in a local Australian chess tournament a year or two ago and a renowned GM like Arnaud Hauchard would be caught cheating in a famous international tournament but nobody would report it anywhere online ?
come on dude

I saw a few of his game with a comp.
It seems especially against the stronger opponents Feller switched on the computer
( Timofeev-Feller) saw may many of the comps. first choices for Feller. and also Feller- Gelashvili.
I know this is not proff enough. but there might be something about it. Didnt go over the other two players games yet. I doubt there will be such claims if there is not something about it. However it is tricky issue. Most of the moves in the above games where not that difficult ones.
IM around 2500.

This anonymous poster on the blog of Gustafsson claims Hauchard cheated in his game against Pelletier. Supposedly, another French player was analysing that game on his laptop and continuously rushed to Hauchard to give him the results. The anonymous poster claims that he told this to the organisation, and that "as far as he knows" Hauchard is banned from Biel from now on.
But if that would be true - why was Hauchard allowed to continue the tournament and play all three remaining rounds after his game with Pelletier?
- Log in to post comments
FFE doesn't consider them guilty yet, they said "has
initiated (...) a disciplinary action"
"following suspicions of organized cheating"
nobody is proven guilty and the only base is
I read Leo Battesti's interview and when asked
how did they do it ? how the arbiters didn't see it?
he answered that "nothing is easier,
in a live broadcast, to transmit informations. Even
a small help in complex positions it is a garanteed win".
So wait a minute how come Leo battesti and Jean-Claude Moingt
knew about it but no arbiters saw it? why they didn't do nothing
at the time?
As for your accusations of previous cheating of the cited players
it is obviously just rumors i actually never heard of it before eventhough
I followed closely the Biel tournament.
If you spread such accusations you have to back it up with
facts dude.
Meanwhile on the other hand, Feller issued a statement saying
"De plus, j' ai fait état lors de conversations privées,
lesquelles ont été répétées,
d'irrégularités comptables de la Fédération Française
(des précisions seront données ultérieurement),
lesquelles ont déclenché la colère du président."
"I did mention in private conversations, at multiple times,
accounting irregularities at the FFE (more details later),
which deeply angered the president".
I just think FFE lost credibility lashing out names without
evidence. Actually for those who know Battesti it is not a surprise.

Innocent untill guilty... In Belgium we had a murder case not so long ago and there were no evidences needed to convict the woman of murder...
I think it would be pathetic to cheat. And if someone really does cheat he or she should be suspended for a long period. Like in cycling a period of 2 years would be apropriate

With a FIDE rating of 2657 Feller doesn't have to cheat. I'm skeptical about his involvement.
- Log in to post comments
That argument is self-defeating.
How did he get to that rating? By cheating?
Apart from that: somebody's rating is irrelevant when it comes to cheating.
I'm not saying he did or he didn't, just saying the argument is not very strong.
- Log in to post comments
Strong chess players don't need to cheat!? In other sports, Ben Johnson, Jan Ullrich and many others didn't need to cheat!?
On the low end of the scale, a player with Elo 1200 won't benefit from _incidental_ engine assistance:
- often he will not even reach a position where engines can help him
- even if an engine tells him "mate in 10" he can't remember the variation but has to keep asking his silicon friend "What's next?".
Along with test, I just want to say that your argument doesn't make any sense.

"the French chess scene knew what was going on anyway."
You are referring to the procedure itself right?
I agree I don't see how in the small french chess world people weren't aware of it.
But if they don't show serious evidence and their procedure appears to be "flaky" eventually, they will be sued for defamation for sure.
- Log in to post comments
Do you know that the rumor I spread (and I never called it anything else) is false? For the time being, only the Biel organizers know.
As to Fischer-Battesti: I just wanted to point out that people who once fought the system can later become part of the system. Battesti now is spokesman of the French, not the Corsican federation. Maybe he would still prefer Corsican independence, that would be his legitimate private opinion and has nothing to do with the case discussed here. And, for example, someone who was once (25 years ago or even yesterday) caught and convicted for stealing from a shop can still accuse others of drunken driving ... .
Technically, your last statement is obviously wrong: Of course people can be accused of things without fair trial, simply because without accusations there will be no trial.
- Log in to post comments
I think you are wrong about "almost everyone in the French chess scene knew what was going on anyway". Some inner circle players probably knew because they were contacted during the investigation. But when I first read the news (on Jan Gustfsson's blog) I checked on the france-echecs.com forum - 71 comments at the time, by now 164. Everyone seemed genuinely surprised and puzzled, noone wrote anything resembling "but this is old news" ... .
So the federation must have had other reasons for going public, maybe the ones I suggested in earlier comments.
- Log in to post comments
Don't know what to think of this.
"The fact that a federation is taking measures to some very strong players indicates that they possess at least some form of proof."
I think that's a bit fast. Throwing mud and hope it will stick might be another motive.
"...disrespecting the honor of a great man of French Chess." Who's being pathetic? I automatically distrust anyone trying to put his boss in the good book like this.
On the Biel cheating thing: that requires some easy journalism. Peter, have you contacted the Biel organisers?
Things might be true, they might be not true. Off course you should make something like this public, but with a lot of caution.
- Log in to post comments
Maybe I need to clarify my previous post, three points:
- Others blamed the French federation, along with Peter Doggers I suggest that their evidence is rather strong - else it wouldn't make sense to hurt their own team, and they certainly have their legal advisors: Feller can and apparently will sue the federation, even if Kramnik can't sue Topalov and Kurnosov can't sue Mamedyarov. As to calling them 'suspects': even someone shooting another person in plain daylight with ten witnesses is still called a suspect until formally convicted in court!?
But I agree with Simon Grivet that the timing in the middle of Tata Chess is rather odd ... .
- The Biel incident (if it happened as described): the evidence may not be strong enough to prove Hauchard guilty, and organizers usually don't like scandals. But even then the evidence may be strong enough to "politely" tell him that he shouldn't show up next year.
- I was the first one to suggest that Peter Doggers should contact the Biel organizers. And all three outcomes would add to the story:
1) Aro was telling plain nonsense
2) Indeed some players contacted the organizers, but they either refused to investigate or did investigate and evidence that Hauchard was cheating is non-existing or insufficient
3) the incident did occur as described, including Hauchard being banned.
- Log in to post comments
You suggest that their evidence is rather strong? you don't know that, that's a certainty.
Just because the motives of such accusations by FFE might seem illogical, it is not proving they are telling the truth. Maybe it is a personal vendetta, anything can be assumed till we have real facts and evidence.
As for the "fictional" Biel incident, first you use this pseudo info to convince people that the players are already cheaters therefor it makes sense that they cheated in the Olympiads, second, you can assume anything based on rumors, but without concrete facts or evidence, your contribution besides being baseless is just hurting the people involved.
- Log in to post comments
He might post the message first on the other site, then he quotes it for here. I wonder how he did that. haha, I learned that from him
- Log in to post comments
Now this is absurd - I can assure you that you're wrong, even if only two people know for sure, Aro and myself. As a matter of fact, I have never even been in Biel! Peter Doggers and Jan Gustafsson could verify if they bothered to trace, exchange and compare the IP addresses for both posts - but they might as well trust their comment contributors in my/our as well as other cases. "I learned that from him" - all i can say is "Huuuuh!!???".
General points:
- At this and earlier occasions, people are quick to bash federations (only when it's a federation against FIDE, some take the federation as the perceived lesser evil). Actually I just want to add some balance to the discussion: if several others had condemned the players (which I don't do), I might have written something along the lines of Wouter's posts (I don't say he's all wrong). But it's at least remarkable that Wouter rather seems to believe Feller's statement on "accounting irregularities" which, for the time being, is at least as cryptic and unsupported. Wouter's key argument seems to be "I don't like Battesti"!?
- It's also interesting that noone defended Feller against earlier cheating accusations. That case may be more easily verifiable if a message was indeed prominently posted on the Playchess server. I would actually rather discount it as a youth sin (e.g. Naiditsch was also once caught for Internet cheating), which doesn't take away that a repeat offender might and should be punished more severely.
Finally - now I am speculating but .... the timing of the FFE press release could make sense after all:
- Vachier-Lagrave, Fressinet and Tkachiev might have already known that something is underway: in an investigation, it makes perfect sense to contact Feller's teammates.
- Maybe the FFE had signs that the story on a French Olympiad team scandal was about to leak out (though I don't know if France has tabloid newspapers always looking for a scandal, and if they would be interested in a chessic scandal). Then it would be in the best interest of the Tata participants if the FFE makes things public, clarifying which players are under investigation and which ones are absolutely innocent.

- Log in to post comments
Something to take into account is that Feller is left hanging out to dry; everyone can check the tiniest detail of his public life (a sure way to find just anything). But who is Aro? Battesti's nephew?
Journalists sometimes use anonymous sources (though sparingly), but by doing so, they put their reputation on the line. But who is this Thomas and what is his reputation?
An anonymous quote by an anonymous quoter, that's not the proper way to bring things into the light.
- Log in to post comments
As I understand it, by bringing out details while the investigation is still ongoing, the federation also risks to get sued. The reason they published their communiqué is probably because almost everyone in the French chess scene knew what was going on anyway.

From the Interview with Leo Battesti:
What exactly is the cheating system that was used? Have the authors of the cheating admitted the facts?
Battesti DOES NOT answer this question.
I find it strange that he can accuse somebody of cheating without being able to say how.
- Log in to post comments
Well, I'm not Feller's lawyer but again I don't think spreading false rumors like you do is a good thing for the chess world or anything for that matter.
Did Joshka fisher went to jail for mafioso activities ?
Also Battesti got an amnesty from Mitterand so he is still guilty in the eyes of justice...
This NN guy can say whatever he wants you know that's the freedom of speech but the society created rules which prohibit people to be accused of things without any evidence or fair trial, everybody will judge when justice will be served, as for now they are still innocent.

"this may be the reason why the FFE felt the need to give names rather than just two GMs and an IM. That could lead to all kind of speculations:"
LOL Too bad for you Thomas they released the names, you would have been the first to spread theses speculations on ChessVibes and others...
- Log in to post comments
You start playing on the man, both Battesti and myself - maybe you run out of arguments?
First Battesti: OK he apparently has a criminal past some 25 years ago - but everyone who served his sentence should thereafter be considered a 'normal citizen'. Marginally related, probably more differences than similarities: In Germany, young Joschka Fischer was sort of a streetfighter during the late 1960s and early 1970s (generation 1968), later he became a very respected minister of foreign affairs.
Now me: You may have another impression, but I DON'T speculate - I merely try to understand why the FFE is acting the way they do and, unlike others, don't think they're all wrong. BTW, I think most comments in this thread are rather thoughtful. The only exception is "NN" above who boasts with his title and Elo but doesn't give his real name (while insulting Feller), surprising to me that he only got thumbs up.

generally I find the whole issue distasteful. The correct way would be to wait for the final verdict of the diciplinary committee. If cheating is prooved, then it is ok to make a public announcement.
To go public in the manner that has been done without a verdict, without proof and even without stateting what exactly the accusations are is very distateful.
In my eyes the image of the French Chess Federation has been considerably damaged.

Cooking is one of things that will suck up as much time as you want to put into it. It ranges from putting a poptart in the toaster to the multi-day marathon that is beef wellington. I don't think its a stretch to say that most of us typically are on the poptart end of this spectrum. But every now and then, when we just wake up full of motivation, when we finally have an evening free, when the moon is in the certain phase, we'll go online and watch someone else work some culinary magic.
There are people out there who would have you believe that cooking videos simply teach one to cook. This could not be further from the truth.
Cooking videos do not teach you how to cook, they teach you how to love… to cook. Well… not so much love to cook, but love to watch other people cook food you will never get to eat. Based on my "research", no one has ever actually attempted to cook any of the foods they have seen online. Why? Because if we had the motivation to go out and cook something, we wouldn't be sitting on our butts watching a dog tell us how to make a bento box. The most popular cooking videos are the ones with the least actual cooking. I claim that the age of Julia Child and Emeril Lagasse is at an end. The future belongs to the comedians, to the drunks, to the impoverished, to the obese, to the anthropomorphic dogs that live within our computer screens and entertain us for a while. And as a citizen of this fantastic food future, I demand more.
I want more. More talking aniamls. More alcohol. More puns. More foods seemingly sprung from some sort of fever dream. I want more niche partioning. I don't want more shows about french cooking, italian cooking, southern cooking. I want more shows about amusement park cooking, dormroom cooking, cooking with fire and fruit and flamingos. I want more STORIES. I more WHY and WHO and less HOW MUCH and WHAT TEMPERATURE. I want to relate, not to create. I want recipes with revelry, instruction with more production, baking with more breaking. I demand more explosions, more flubs and dubs, more drops and flops. I demand more burnt to a crisp failure and oh so greasy success.
Because, as the great Julia Child once said, with cooking you got to have a what the hell attitude.

County Commissioner Stan McClain's recent visit to the county jail, with executives from a private prison operator in tow, has certainly struck a nerve.
County Commissioner Stan McClain's recent visit to the county jail, with executives from a private prison operator in tow, has certainly struck a nerve.
The County Commission has received numerous emails from Sheriff's Office employees and citizens concerned that the board might consider privatizing the operation of the jail.
But the angst and outrage expressed electronically at the idea might also be reinforced verbally on Thursday, when a wave of privatization opponents are expected to flood the commission chamber during the first of two public hearings on the 2014 budget.
A protest movement on Facebook indicates that nearly 170 people intend to pack the session to express their discontent.
Commission Chairwoman Kathy Bryant suggested that the complaints are premature.
"The board has not had a discussion on privatization of the jail," she said. "Before anything can happen, the board would have to have a discussion."
If those talks indicated the board wanted to pursue privatization, the issue would only then be starting, Bryant added.
"There would be months and months of due diligence before a decision could be made. That's not just something you do overnight," said Bryant.
"I understand their concerns," she added of the critics. "But right now, we haven't had a discussion about this."
McClain visited the facility last week with senior county staffers and a pair of representatives from the Corrections Corporation of America, or CCA, the nation's leading operator of privatized prisons and jails.
The company manages more than 80,000 inmates in more than 60 corrections facilities nationwide, including three state prisons and two county jails in Florida. Among them is the jail in neighboring Citrus County.
Sheriff Chris Blair and his senior staff said they felt ambushed by the inclusion of the CCA representatives, which touched off a "panic" among the staff, as Maj. Terry Bovaird, head of the Sheriff's Office's Corrections Division, told the Star-Banner last week.
Since then, employees of the county jail and their supporters have not minced words in expressing to the County Commission their disdain.
Sheriff's Cpl. David Whaley, a corrections officer, wrote in an email to the commission, "I do not believe it would be in the best interest of the citizens of Marion County to pay a private corporation to oversee the jail. It would not only cost a number of the corrections staff their jobs, but it would, in the long run, cost the citizens of Marion County.
"In addition," he wrote, "those employees of the Sheriff's Office who work for the Jail would, if they are allowed to remain employed by the jail, lose their FRS (Florida Retirement System) retirement. This would likely result in a number of the employees leaving Marion County to find employment elsewhere."
Another jail employee, Cpl. Bryan Nix, added, "This community will not only lose great corrections officers but also baseball, T-ball, soccer, and football coaches, youth pastors, Sunday school teachers, deacons, foster parents, and mentors. Please consider the ripple effect this decision WILL have on our community."
The idea that the County Commission might look for a contractor to run the jail should not have come as a big surprise, as Blair and the County Commission continue to argue over his request for an $8 million boost in spending.
Bryant told the Star-Banner in June that the commission, which has authority over the county jail, might bring the facility back under its control in an effort to cuts costs.
That came after Blair initial budget proposed a $17 million spike in spending for next fiscal year.
County officials said they have not had any responses in favor of privatization of the jail, although Blair's push for more revenue has inspired more general comments urging the County Commission to hold the line on taxes.
McClain, who is leading a staff task force that is reviewing the sheriff's proposed budget, formed after Blair challenged the commission to find spending cuts, said he, too, understands the concerns.
He added that it was not his intent to start a ruckus among the Sheriff's Office's employees by touring the jail with the CCA executives.
But, he said, giving privatization a look was part of his mission.
"In my role, in what I've been tasked by my board to do, it was necessary to make sure we looked at every possible thing, so that I can report back that we left no stone unturned," McClain said.

Summer Camp Music Festival
Since 2001, the unofficial kickoff of the summer concert season in the Chicago area has been the Summer Camp Music Festival at Three Sisters Park in Chillicothe, Ill. In each of those 11 years, including this weekend, the headliner has been moe., a band from upstate New York that doesn't discriminate against any musical genre. Though its profile isn't quite on the same level as jam-band contemporaries such as Phish and the Dave Matthews Band, who started about the same time in the late '80s, moe. has nonetheless forged an estimable do-it-yourself career, a self-managed, self-produced one-band music industry that has released 10 studio albums in two decades, most of them on the quintet's own Fatboy label, and forged a loyal and growing following on the touring circuit. Summer Camp became their Midwestern getaway after they came through Chillicothe in 2000 as part of a package tour. "We just fell in love with the place -- it's not a traditional concert venue, but it's a great place that's both in the middle of nowhere but also in the middle of everything at the same time," says moe. singer-guitarist-keyboardist Al Schnier with a laugh. "It's like a scene from 'The Little Rascals': 'Let's clear out the old barn and put on a show!'" Noon Friday-Sunday at Three Sisters Park, 17189 N. State Route 29, Chillicothe, Ill.; $65 (Sunday only single-day tickets available) and $200 (three-day pass); summercampfestival.com

More than 6,000 janitors and security officers march with their allies after bargaining committees call for a strike vote
Minneapolis, MN – After months of dealing with bad bargaining by employers, Twin Cities janitors and security officers have set a date for a strike vote. Today members of SEIU Local 26 began circulating strike petitions for a vote scheduled for February 9.
"We've tried to bargain in good faith," said Demetruis Moore, a member of the bargaining committee who's worked as a security officer for more than five years. "But it's clear they have no intention of doing so. Either come to the table and bargain in good faith, or we're done. We'll see you in the streets."
"We're here to show the companies we mean business, unlike them," said John Vinje, a security officer from Big Lake. "They show up hours late for meetings, or don't even show up at all. We're ready to bargain, are they?"
The bargaining committees made the announcement today at a rally in downtown Minneapolis – they were then joined by workers and allies for a march through the skyways of the buildings they work in.
"It's not fair that while our productivity is going up, our wages are not keeping pace," said Margarita Del Angel, a janitor who spoke in Spanish at the rally. "We are being forced to do more and more work for the same amount, so our employers can cut back on workers and save money at our expense. And now, they are demanding to pay us even less. They want to cut wages for more than half of us. Some of us would see our wages cut by 40%. It is already hard enough to support a family on these wages. Additional cuts are impossible. They want to lock us into poverty, while continuing to grow richer at our expense."
Members of SEIU Local 26 clean and protect some of the Twin Cities' largest office buildings that house some of the wealthiest corporations in the country, including Target, US Bank, and Wells Fargo. The contracts expired December 31, but after months of negotiations, employers are still unwilling to bargain in good faith.
"The average full-time worker qualifies for public assistance due to low wages and a lack of affordable healthcare," said Harrison Bullard, Vice President of Local 26. "When workers are forced to rely on public assistance because the rich, corporate elite don't pay the cost of doing business, all of us end up paying more."
The average worker in Local 26 earns $20,503 annually. The federal poverty line for a family of four is $23,050. In a survey, 91% of members said they would use a raise to pay for basic necessities, including groceries, school, rent or mortgage.
"For janitors, demands from employers include cutting wages for more than 50 percent of workers," said Del Angel. "The average janitor cleans the equivalent of 30 houses in one night. We deserve living wages that allow us to support our families. We deserve affordable healthcare."
For the first time ever, more than 6,000 janitors and security officers in the Twin Cities and suburbs are negotiating new contracts simultaneously. In 2008, a new contract was negotiated for 1,000 security officers after they struck in downtown St. Paul and Minneapolis. In 2006 and 2009, janitors voted to authorize strikes, but both were narrowly averted.
If Local 26 members vote on February 9 to authorize a strike over Unfair Labor Practice, the bargaining committees would then decide when and if a strike was necessary, as well as set a date for a strike. If a strike were to happen, it would be one of the largest strikes to ever happen in downtown Minneapolis.
"We are tired of the runaround," said Moore. "While we are proposing fair raises to move workers forward, our employers are demanding cuts. This would move workers backwards. The corporate elite in this country have the power to help unlock a better future for all of Minnesota. It's time they do that."

JERUSALEM (AP) — Hollywood couple Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis have attended the funeral of a Kabbalah teacher to the stars in Israel.
Rabbi Philip Berg founded the Kabbalah Centre in Los Angeles more than 40 years ago. The center announced he died aged 86 this week.
Kutcher and Kunis were dressed in white, like the other mourners, a symbolic Kabbalah color.
Both starred on the U.S. sitcom "That 70's Show."
Fashion designer Donna Karan also attended the funeral, which was held Wednesday in Safed, the spiritual center for Kabbalah, and the home of the Jewish mystics who defined it six hundred years ago.
Though Kabbalah is rooted in Judaism, its message has in recent years become popular to people of all beliefs.

Pair apprehended following felony robbery in RochesterBy John Quinn
Union Leader Correspondent
February 15. 2013 1:08PM
ROCHESTER – A local man and a Dover woman were arrested after they allegedly robbed another woman along Davey Anne Locke Lane Thursday night.
Police, firefighters and emergency personnel responded to the scene at 9:58 p.m. after receiving a report from the woman who said Fallon and Nyberg – who are known to her – allegedly drove up to her in a dark colored Toyota Corolla, pointed a gun in her face and assaulted her. After taking her purse, they allegedly fled the area in the vehicle, according to police.
As police began the investigation, paramedics transported the woman, who sustained non-life threatening injuries, to Frisbie Memorial Hospital.
Sandra Jean Fallon, 24, of 18B Atkinson St. in Dover, and Jacob Nyberg, 22, of 10 Pleasant St. in Rochester, were both charged with one count of robbery.
Additionally, Nyberg had outstanding felony warrants for issuing bad checks and theft by deception for previous incidents in the city.
Both Fallon and Nyberg were held in Strafford County jail on $10,000 and $25,000 cash bail, respectively. Fallon was scheduled to be arraigned by video in Rochester District Court today while Nyberg is scheduled to be arraigned Tuesday.

LONDON (AP) — A play about WikiLeaks source Bradley Manning has won a drama award in Britain.
"The Radicalization of Bradley Manning" was named winner of a James Tait Black Memorial Prize on Tuesday.
The play by Tim Price focuses on Manning's teenage years in Wales, where he lived with his British mother, and his transformation into a troubled U.S. soldier who leaked troves of confidential documents to the anti-secrecy organization.
James Tait Black Memorial Prizes are Britain's oldest literary awards, and have introduced a drama category for the first time. It comes with a 10,000 pound ($15,000) check.
Manning was convicted in the U.S. last week of 20 offenses, including espionage, theft and computer fraud. The crimes carry a combined maximum prison term of 136 years.
