I disagree, I've played 1266 games on yahoo, I think I've been playing a computer maybe a dozen times. It is easy to tell when you lose in 25 moves three times in a row, that this guy in not on your level. Yahoo suffers from a lot of lag, I think very few people can transfer the moves quick enough in the short games. I often watch some of the red and yellow games, they do not seem like computers to me. I think almost all the computers are playing at 2400+, most 2100 players are humans. >The point of my post was to see how many people at CCC will admit to playing >with their programs at Yahoo.
