Well if you start playing tournaments they have to So it is always posible to play higher rated players then yourself. That players don't do this on ICC is because at the moment you just did build up your rating a low rated player pops up using a chessprogram or he has a shared acount And this time you play against a player with a much higher rating! This kind of cheating is not unoticable posible in usual tournaments. It is actual very pity that so many sick individual spoil things for the rest. For me they even destroyed the fun of playing online games. If you would compare the way I feld myself when I started playing chess online s Spontanious,calm,open, and friendly. With now Does not prefer to talk,does not wait for people who don't know how things go but look for an other player instead then,looks constantly at the clock if I am not getting cheated on time,cautsious if I am not playing against an other program. Doesn't have any trust on administrators of chess servers They never do realy help you. the securety of programs used to play games or chat online is very low. and full of stress. This is how things develop themselves playing chess online . Marc vn Hal
