He talks to the programmers live and he is there to operate his program. I will never trust it if we use some kind of protocol where i cannot see my opponent. There is too much money at stake with some people to just *assume* they play honest if you can't see them. May i remind you the FIDE world champs qualifier which was played online? Can you please analyze the games of the first 8 who qualified. How many of them look non-computer helped to you? If you trust all those GMs, how many of the games the GM in person or even FM in person, played an opening he normally plays too? Isn't it weird that some games resemble some Top GMs, who didn't need to qualify, a lot? If you still are under the impression that this wouldn't happen in computerchess, then let me just tell you that for those GMs only up to $10000 was at stake, in order to qualify for moscow 2001. In computerchess for the commercials you can add a few zero's to it for some. You still reading this? Best regards, Vincent
