I agree.

I am not outraged by the possible cheating here. I am asking for input, that is
all.

I believe he is cheating, by his history, the move times, and the fact that he
wasn't able to beat a 1500 player, yet beat 2 separate 2000+ computers back to
back. The first game as Bruce said he played like a human, but then the style of
play differed, and he was MUCH more successful. The style of play is so
different, it makes me believe it wasn't actually him playing the moves.

The games played I feel are not done by a human, but rather a computer.
The move times are very suspicious, as it the play from one game to the next.
