Any guesses? Based on visiting RGGC >and other sites i was guess about 90% is that reasonable? Strange question... or at least, it's a strange way to ask it. Do you really expect people who have illegal chess software on their computers to put up their hands and say "I have illegal software on my computer"? Speaking for myself, I have no illegal chess software on my computer. My guess is that among the people who regularly post messages to this forum less than 10% have illegal software. We're not that sort of group. As for the "passive members" of the forum who never post anything, hmmm, maybe it's a higher percentage, up to 50%. That's just an estimate, of course, but I'm sure it's a lot closer to the truth than your wild guess.
