I'm sure with others too, even better. >S.Taylor This is not an issue. Trying to detect cheating by monitoring the computer won't work, because most use a second computer. Many GUIs now detect "task switching" and notify your opponent if you shift focus from the GUI window to another window. The solution is a second machine. Now you are left with only the "game" as evidence. And that makes the detection process much more difficult and time-consuming.
