A public apology

Difficult to start these. Yet I know I owe a lot of people an explanation.

After attending the antichess WC 1+2. I was shown how to play this game by @yabbadabbadooooooo .
He bested me with quite devastating numbers (.5 - 5.5). And what happened is that I got mad at myself for losing so badly. And what I did to process it for myself was making the absolute worst decision after that.

I started using the Stockfish engine. And for 1+0 games, the Sjeng Engine.

What made me decide to do so? I guess some sad piety for myself not being able to take a loss. A hard lesson learned.
Don't ever use an engine, ultimately it won't gain you anything. It will only lose you more.

An honest apology is what I owe a lot of people:

Everyone affiliated with the IAF, I realize a dark day has now passed.
And a lot of players that have lost a game vs me.


Furthermore I would like to state my own decisions:

I am willing to continue organizing the European Antichess Championship. A ton of progress has been made the last few months, and we are very close to making this event happen.
Aside from this dark day, I am aware that I did a lot of good things for the community. And ultimately I should have always chosen the community above my own personal gain.

I hope I can somehow set things right with everyone involved.
I rest by the decision of the IAF what is to become of the various consequences.

I will remain active on this account for some time longer, I can understand people have a lot of questions after these events. And I will answer to my best intent.

Lastly I would like to thank everyone affiliated with the IAF. You are all great players for not only the game, but also a thriving community, something you can be proud off.

@ForgetNot

such a thing is not tolerated
you've used it before
we don't want players like you in the community
but because you are one of the few or even the only one who has recognized it, that is to be appreciated

IAF has zero tolerance but for cheats and you will not be able to organize any event on behalf of IAF

yea @esko1779 , I do appreciate your support towards me, but @ChangeOpening is right here. In the end, no matter what reason, I decided to do as I did. And therefor it didn't have to happen.

IAF thanks Lichess moderators for cleaning our community of cheats, people who make fun of us, people who don't understand that sooner or later they will be caught and banned
The cases of @noktamrr and @forgetnot, banned in the last 2 days are not singular. Because the 2 have cheated in the past, IAF proposes to Lichess the DEFINITIVE BAN on the first cheating and their non-acceptance as evolution even if they admit that they cheated
