I was challenged in the 3-Day Ladder by a fellow named Illuminati.
He had a very high rating, well over 2,000, and I was struggling as black.
Game 12110282
On my first move, I messaged him, "Good Luck!", as is my wont:

(I see the above image did not post, it shows him responding "Chess is not a game of luck."😉
I thought that was a little snide.
Anyway, I see I won that game because he was banned. Anyone know what's up with that? I suspect a chess engine is involved, but that's just a guess.
