How can we ever have Regular(non GM)tourneys on the net when comps exist. People are always talking about how the internet is the future of chess. However how can anyone reasonably trust ones opponents. They can use books, computers, even assistance from stronger players. I'm cheated on so much on the net that i don't even play on ICC or FICS, i just look. Besides from what i can see playing many blitz games does NOTHING to improve your game. For example Mindman on FICS a real life 1600 uscf player when he started on fics 3 or 43 years ago. Around the time he started he maintained a 1600-1750 internet rating, now after 13000 games! his rating has dropped to 1300(steady) internet. This guy is actually a PH.D so it's not because he's a moron either
