@Vass:
I can't get any of the chess-results links in your last post to work. Did they remove the tournament, or move it somewhere else?

Some more info...and a decisive game (as per http://www.perpetualcheck.com/show/new.php?lan=cp&data=1218 )..

"Is used Houdini 2.0?

27.08.2012 / FM Zivic, Dragan (2260)

What really happened in Belogradchik? Letter sent us Dragan Zivic ...

Dear Friends,

I just got the game from the MK Stefan Mladenovic from Nis (formerly the first chess steps taught to me, and now he is a coach Miodrag Perunović IM), third from the last round of Balkan Open to amateurs in the Bulgarian Belogradchik village, 40 km south of Vidin, Played Yesterday, 26.8.2012.g. in the last round. Stefan claims that he checked with the Houdini 2.0 and the white pulled from 10th moves to the end (unless one moves) as Houdini 2.0 and to all the first option.

Before the last round IX, both led the standings with 7 points from 8 games, and the first prize was 2,000 leva or more than 1000 euros! One euro is 1.95 leva and 1.96 leva retail buying rate in exchange offices. I recall that it was the III Festival of amateur Balkans, where participation is possible under all 2,250 eloa, and prize money is 7,500 euros was great.

Please check and write your own judgment in this game, and what should be done, because the black lost the game and took the IV award of 350 euros, and he was the first of 1000, and therefore it was not enough and a draw in the last round ( had the best additional criteria before the last round)? Stefan said that his opponent has a little longer hair, that is. that the strands over each ear, and suspected that he was using earphones, and before deciding to move to tank the finals went outside, to the bathroom.

It is possible that Borislav Ivanov, 2194 winner of the III Open Belogradchik, a tearful intelligence and played like a machine, but it is at least strange that a chess player who at 18 is still on 1800 ratings, the 19.g. be on the 1900 play as a power of 2.800 and in so doing, we all know what kind of adrenaline when playing game that brings the reward of a drinker of about 50 euros, and it was here in the first place and the prize of 1,000 euros?

This is not to be reduced as the organizer III Balkan Balkan amateur championship, and excellent playing conditions, a beautiful place Belogradchik, a phenomenal prize money of 7,500 euros and the chief judge of the tournament is my good friend George Zhivkov. Personally, I am sorry that I could not play (my current rating 2.260) but would like all chess players rated below 2250 heartily recommend that next year, playing the Balkan Festival of amateurs!"

P.S. Some Bulgarian chess players yesterday's evidences and statements: (as per http://www.facebook.com/groups/chessbg/ & Google Translator)
"Against Uncle Kiro (GM Kiril Georgiev) played almost entirely as per the first line of Houdini, so Uncle Kiro pushed the figures after the game and wanted to leave the tournament."
"Way to Grisha (GM Grigor Grigorov) that has not played with him and to Kiro that he had but spit in his eyes."

The saga continues...

GM B.Lalic: "(14.04.2013) Najpoznatiji prevarant današnjice, Borislav Ivanov, nastavlja sa pljačkama na rapid turnirima. Danas je lagano osvojio Memorijal Andonova u Ćustendilu. U osmom kolu do tada vodeći Grigorov, odbio je da igra protiv prevaranta! Verovatno je najbolje postupiti kao Grigorov, a prevarant nek osvoji turnir sa 9 kontumacija..."

"Borislav Ivanov pobijedio danas u Plovdivu, prva nagrada 300 leva sto je 150 eura, pobijedio je i GM Kirila Georgieva strucnjaka u brzom sahu, jedino je izgubio od IM Sashe Nikolova ( njega sam pobijedio sa crnima u nimcovicki u Puli na openu prije 16 godina - nevjerojatno kako je uspio pobijediiti Ivanova ), GM Grigorov je odbio doci na partiju protiv Ivanova pa je izgubio bez borbe. Izgleda da koristenje kompjutera u brzom sahu ima jos vecu snagu nego u normalnom sporom sahu, nevjerojatno!!!" (use Google translator or similar  )

Ummm...no.  Computers' moves are a result of brute force calculations (number of moves deep with resultant positions fed into an evaluation algorithm).  How can a human predict that one variation will magically turn up the win of a piece or pawn promotion or whatever without seeing to the end?  I don't understand.   

Yes, Occam's razor definitely applies here. But I don't quite see how his opponents and the arbiters can't figure out how he's transmitting and receiving the moves. He's a very clever cheat.

Eric, the point behind Ivanov's performance is that it's erratic. The move analysis takes time, but apparently he has used the engine in some games but not others. That will make him much more difficult to catch in the future.

I don't know the conditions under which the tournaments Ivanov has played in were held, but wouldn't it be fairly simple to cheat with a co-conspirator along the lines of the French cheating that took place?  A spectator moves about the room, scratches his head, cocks his head to one side or the other, crosses his right arm over his left arm, puts his hand in one pocket instead of the other, etc., all to convey a square to move to.  Then Ivanov doesn't have any device on his person that can be found--it's on a spectator in the playing hall.

Also, most of the comments I've heard focus on his performance itself, which is immaterial.  The point, as I've tried to make before, is that the moves he plays are not his own, i.e. they are clearly plagiarized when he plays 50 moves in a row of a computer's first recommendation, etc.   I wish people would focus on that, regardless of his performance.
