Thank you for fixing the kibitzing system, Fergus. With all the obstacles associated with the recent move of the website, I hadn't expected you to get around to that so quickly.

I'd now like to call attention (from anyone and everyone who reads this) to the following log, which I would consider to be "nearly hard evidence" that an impostor of some sort has taken over the account of long-time CVP member (and well-respected chess variant inventor and player) Carlos Cetina:

/play/pbm/play.php?game=Circular+Chess&log=sissa-cvgameroom-2015-291-618

If it is unclear what "nearly hard evidence" refers to, please read the comments posted in the "Kibbitzing Section" at the bottom of the page.

I will of course try to confirm this myself by asking Carlos about it via email. If anyone out there (who happens to be a much closer friend of his) has a more surefire way to contact him, I'd appreciate any help I can get in obtaining 100% confirmation that his account here was stolen.

Assuming it turns out that my suspicion is indeed correct, does anyone have some idea about the best way of handling such a situation? I suppose (in the worst case) Carlos could always create a new CVP account, but then his "active" account would no longer be directly connected with his many contributions to the site.
