Subject: Hypothetical situation

Author: Pierre Bourget

Date: 14:03:03 01/07/02


Imagine that a player with a good rating enter a tournament and in fact the
moves he makes came from a relatively unknow program running on very fast
hardware, the moves being relayed to him in a way that nobody can suspect
anything.The player to behave in a very normal way at the board ,not doing the
stupid mistake like announcing mate in 10 for example ,normally doing long
thinking for a difficult move ,etc. Imagine that he makes a normal progession
from tournaments to tournaments losing a game here and there voluntarily .Do you
think that it will be possible to detect that he is a cheater just looking at
the games ? Do you think that we can win many tournaments ? Do you think that
his opponents will begin to suspect something ? Do you think that this kind of
trickery could last a long time ? And finally perhaps this situation really
exist and nobody knows , is it possible ?

Sorry for my bad english.
