None that I can see. Let's not get silly. Let me paraphrase what I said for the sake of clarity. I said that it _often_ happens that cheaters play with increments and that it just _may_ turn out that cheaters use increments more frequently than other guys, because they need time to alt-tab or whatever they do when cheating. That's all. I do agree with you that blitz can degenerate into something that is not exactly chess when in a time-scramble and I appreciate your wish to play a rational game in which you try to outplay your opponent. Use as much increment as you wish. All we were trying to establish was which mechanisms _can_ be used to cheat on ICS. *** Djordje
