When i play games myself and the first 20 moves though long out of theory are exactly the same you have a very good bet with who you are dealing with. espacialy if you controle the time used for each move and when the oponent started to take time to find a way to contineu it's further plans. I rarely found cheaters which used typical Friz Junior or Rebel or Tiger moves Ok there still is an open field of amateur programs But Still the kings style is diferent I created one Chessmaster personellty which behaved the same as the other programs though Which had to do something with the Material\Position settings. Then again there are still many cyborgs. Then it is harder to detect which program is being used. But i must say that I can memorize many of my analyses better because of this. If I trapped someone in remembering a precise position I alwas ask him if he does learn something from it. If this is so Then he rather would be honest and say why he wants to use the program. I think that learning could be a good reason. aking the credit of someonelses work is something I will not give. And emailing Johan for every game Chessmaster won is to much work hehe. Regards Marc
