Go up one level in this thread


I would like to think that most players were very honorable and not stoop to
such things like cheating. In my case Pepito was very much stonger than my
program was, but had internet connection problems. I myself was disconnected
over 3 times by MSN. MSN gives you a pop-up window stating that you have only 30
seconds to acknowledge before they disconnect, however, if immediately after
their message appears you opponent makes a move or someone sends you a message
then MSN's pop-up window dissapears before you can respond to it, then you hear
a "UH HO" and its all over. I also know that some of the players form Italy had
major connection problems with their internet provider and no one know why.
I have seen too many implications that there was wholesale cheating going on and
I do not believe it for a minute. I believe that most people are above that kind
of stuff, if not, well then, who knows.
