here are a 'few' things to look for:

1) time usage.  Lots of moves in a row with the same time per move or close
to it.  if the opponent gets into some time trouble then the game falls apart
because he has to abandon the computer.  etc.

2)  analyze the game with your program.  Look for multiple positions where you
search to depth=N and get a score, but at depth=N+1 the score for the best move
drops significantly.  Often a computer will play a move that appears to hang a
pawn until you get deep enough to see why it doesn't.  Humans don't play like
this.  If you see several moves where depth=10 says +1, but depth=11 says 0.1
(or -1 for that matter) then be suspicious..

3)  do a 'blunder check' (if your program supports it, if not try crafty's
'annotate' command) to see if your opponent made any tactical mistakes in the
game.  If not, that's almost a certain indicator as I can't find a game by a GM
player with zero blunders..

4)  when he starts a game, speed your program _way_ up (even if you are afraid
you might get tactically ripped by a cheater).  The fast pace will change the
game significantly.  Notice if he now gets into more time trouble.
