Am I unique here? I played for 1 month on ICC, several weeks on Playchess, and a few times on Yahoo, and NEVER ONCE did I sense that my opponent was using a computer. In every game (over 100 total) both sides -- especially my side! -- made several obviously human errors and often outright blunders. I repeatedly read posts about cheating. I haven't played online in a few months. Has it gotten much worse recently, was I just lucky, or is the cheating overstated?
