Ok, just tell me the difference between - move the hand towards the mouse, grab
it and click it - and - move the hand towards the piece, grab it and put it back
on the board.

Also, if that's not chess what is it?

Define chess! To me it's a game that has several ways to be played.

The keyword: MOST.

I bet some even preffer the 2d board and the clicking silliness (Like me, I'm
not a GM, but if I become one I'll be one of them).

Also, I tryed cheating on the servers. It is not possible. You eventually get
catched. Try faking a GM (Or a normal user) using your Cyborg to tell you the
moves and they discover you.

Mixing your moves and the computer moves won't work either, I don't know yet how
they do it, but they kick out cheaters at first sight.
