I was looking over the games my account on ICC has played over the last few days
and I came up with this one. Now I do not believe that the "person" that won
this game was human. He was using a human account, but the moves are not that of
a human.

These are the move times for the game in question as well..

You will notice that from move 48 - 76 the "human" used very little time per
move yet played flawlessly. This was _not_ a GM/IM. As you can see by the rating
it was surely an above average player but nothing spectacular.

Do you think I am correct in assuming this player is not human?
