Here's the game (name and venue are fictitious, of course): This appears to be better play than a 1700 blitz player could pull off. But who knows, can you really convict someone on a single game? If he cheated he did it very badly, by choosing the best "computer" move consistently. IMO computer cheating can be done easily, and better than this would appear. With a chessbase interface you can show multiple lines of analysis at once, and simply choose the second or third best move in a position sometimes to foil this sort of post-analysis. You could even blunder occasionally and go from say a +2 to a -.57 eval and with computer blitz power be reasonably assured of making a comeback later against a hapless human, if doing this sort of thing pumps your 'nads. Anyway yes, this looks suspicious, but I think you would have to analyze a number of games before convicting the person.
