There exists a series of games played on known hardware against known opponents,
at known time controls.

If there is cheating in these games, it will manifest in one of several forms.
One of the programs will play better moves than it would otherwise play, and/or
the other one will play worse moves than it would otherwise play.

Has anyone shown irregularities like this in the games themselves?

If there is anything substantial fueling these persistent allegations, I haven't
seen it.  Does something substantial exist?  If so, I would love to see it.
