I'm not accusing anyone of cheating. I'm talking about games where both players clearly understand that programs are being used (GM's don't play at Yahoo, so it's understood that anyone rated at least 2100 or higher at Yahoo uses a program). The point of my post was to see how many people at CCC will admit to playing with their programs at Yahoo. And if they do, what do they gain by doing so. In my opinion, 20 to 40 percent of the people who post here use their programs at Yahoo (not to cheat, but to play against other program players) but are afraid to admit it in fear of being called "cheaters".
