It's just that many people have multiple computers or a PDA that wouldn't work in this case. But, this type of technology has similarly existed in colleges. In some programming classes, professors could take code and some pretty impressive calcs were made to determine if people were copying each other. The neat part about it is that it doesn't look for verbatim matches, it's smarter than this. Similarly, many factors can help determine if someone is perhaps cheating, using time, what other engines say, etc., past moves/past games analysis. Brian
