Need I say anything more:
That's a very generous offer and I thought it was a great idea.
Then, thinking about it again, I wonder if it will not be an incentive (incitement ?) for cheaters to create tens of accounts to win the prize.
We all know a lot of cheaters are playing on this site, despite there is nothing to win. What will it be if there is something to win ?
Thoughts ?

What do you mean by "lots"? I don't think there are that many. My sense is that better players are very good at sniffing them out and Tom has adequate resources to verify and extricate them. I think cheaters are rare and don't last long.

Ok, I have no idea of the number. I should have said some, or too many.
I am not sure about the adequate resources as it's time consuming to watch and analyse games.

This is something that I will not worry about. To be honest, this is a problem that should regulate itself. With something up for grabs, the incentive to look out for this kind of activity is also increased and either way cheating would only get you so far (increase the likelihood of a win, but not actually win the tournament).

Is this tournament open to premium & standard members, or just standard?
