An IM was busted for cheating with a computer, but yes, you hear all manner of accusations about every category of player. There are some people who assume that everything over 2700 blitz is a computer. On the other hand, some guy who's played less than fifty games, all with big increment, and quite a few standard games, many (wins) against computers, and some of the rest against humans rated around 2200, who has massively more won games than lost games, who has a rating in excess of 2450, who tends to move in 4-6 seconds in the opening (which tends to last until about move 12-20), who tends to use roughly similar times per move during the middlegame, with a slight tendency toward using less time as the game goes on, will be a computer almost every time, and will probably be a pretty weird guy if it's not a computer. bruce
