What is your ICC rating? I have played quite a few games myself, and I have run into a computer a few times. But with "crafty" it is very common. On FICS and chess.net you really can't trust anybody unless you _know_ them. Cheating is rampant. On ICC you can't trust most. Sad but true. The higher your ICC rating, the more likely it is you will run into a computer. If you play 1600-1800 players, it isn't too common, although it does happen. But if you play 2400-up players, your chances are very good of running into a stealth computer.
