Hello all I am having a computeraccount running on ICC for about 2 days now. I want to report some strange (in fact funny) things that i recognized with this account. I made about 80 to 100 games with a time control of 5 0. I didnt count the number exactly but about 5 to 10 of this games where played against different humans with a rating between 1200 to 1800. Because i am watching every single of these games i realized that these people play chess from a different star. Every move right into the ponder. The opening moves are played as fast and deep as my computer plays them. If half of the playing time is over i tell the opponent a sentence like: "WOW you are playing VERY good for a 1500 rated Player. I will store everything and send this to an admin. Maybe you will earn some extra points". At this point (till now) the next move needs a little bit more time than the ones before (of course only because the player has to read my message) and after that EVERY player is starting to blunder. :-))) I am asking myself why these people doing things like that. I cant believe that they do this to have virtual points on a virtual server somewhere in the world? Does anyone has a better explanaition? Is there someone who has a similar experiences? Pls post here. Bye and stay fair Ingo Bauer
