>Sophisticated cheating isn't that easy in a 3 minute game.
>Pure computer play is something different.
>Isn't it possible to report such obvious games to the admins?

sure its possible
but one tires of constantly reporting the cheating and then getting involved in
a lenghty battery of e-mails regarding it
so i gave up registering to play rated games and i am resigned today to  play as
a guest only ..non rated games
as a guest of course i cannot report cheating
at issue is.. i am an example of the tragedy of online chess today
i was perfectly willing and able to pay and remain a registered member of
several chess servers..but the cheating simply made me lose interest
i suspect many players feel as i do


>This does not mean necessarily they use a computer.
>I already played more than 15 moves in 1 second at playchess.
>Of course both players have the pre-move possibility at playchess.

i am not familiar with the playchess server but of course using the pre move
client would enable one to shoot out many moves in little or no clock time
as far as i know however,pre-move clients are not offically allowed at the major
servers(USCF,ICC,fICS,ETC.)
