Cheater no.16: Hinda Sledziewski


Hinda Sledziewski aka Gala, online chess cheater and chess blogger
  Once upon a time I thought women are less prone to online chess cheating moral failure than men and cheating women are in fact mostly anonymous cross-gender boys. In some specific cases this might be true, chess.com had a lot of fake female cheating identities, e.g. completely forged identity Mariska-Angela (her photo comes from photosets of "Avril A", pornstar from Ukraine), fake Pauline van Nies (very likely not the real one), "retired model Kerrianne Smith, Chester, UK" (still active at Gameknot, her chess.com avatar comes from model Kristine Drinke, an ugly anorexic flat bugbear), mysterious Adora Helenoria aka Nefertity, plenty of short-lived cross-dressing recurring cheaters from Phillipines, Thailand, Brazil, Russia, Africa or Islamic countries, but in general I was proven wrong: Women tend to cheat as men, if not even more. This is the third real woman depicted here, next in line after Jasmin Nicoletta Goldmann and Yelena Dembo.

 I am going to spare readers from my usual colourful language towards cheaters this time, however I find necessary to point out: this lady is morally inferior one as all cheaters. Keep this in mind when reading her blogs and articles.
