It´s a big deal because the program expects to play a human opponent and when
the person who is running the (C)(in this case Rebel Tiger) analyzes the games
played against humans, he will analyze this game too and import it to a database
with all human opponents. So, he will get wrong results.. Allthough, it´s just
one game but if everybody cheats, then the results against humans will be
completly worthless. IMO
