There are cheats who cheat only against the odd computer so their rating gets a sudden big boost. Their motivation to cheat can be endless. See: http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Realm/8655/DoctorUnclear.htm That isn't to say I think this was a cheat, but to point out that computer cheats are as Dr. Hyatt rightly says everywhere, moreso on the medium ratings than the higher. As the higher ones will get caught. Sarah.
