if the player use exactly the same time for every move you can suspect that it
is a computer.

If the player thinks a long time about an obvious capture you can suspect that
it is a computer.

If the player plays no tactical mistakes in complicated position that it is
natural to expect humans to blunder then you can also suspect that it is a
computer.
