Hi Ingo!

There is an extremely interesting webpage here:
http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Realm/8655/DoctorUnclear.htm
It covers the issue of computer cheating very exhaustively, especially the
personal confessions are very interesting.

I've played my own engine Mint on FICS and ICC several hundred games, and to me
the problem isn't all that great. I'm guessing I've been (C)heated somewhere in
the order of 30 times, the majority are definately clean. Maybe I'm just blind,
or maybe cheaters get discouraged by the warnings in my finger-notes ;)

Cheating is like a drug I'd guess, but not as bad as computer chess programming!

Goodnight folks!

- Christian
