It is a generalization, but it isn't that awful. In my opinion chess servers are
meant for playing chess, not watching it.

Hmm, that sounds a little peculiar. Spending money watching someone else doing
what you payed to do, but that's their choice I suppose.

Since I wouldn't recognize a cheater unless he told me, I rely on the
information I've received from those who frequent a lot of different places.
What kind of cheating detection system does ICC use that is superior to what's
used everywhere else?
