Assume their a cheater but >do not name, names. Hard to imagine an anonymous person suing someone for defamation of character. People point fingers at each other all the time on ICC. I looked at the times per move in the games played by Godzilla on 18-Jan, and I didn't concluded that it was a computer. I noticed a lot of one-second moves in the opening, plus a lot of much longer moves in the middlegame. Neither of these points to computer cheating. Perhaps Will was looking at different games. I've seen people on there who may as well be metronomes, they make every move in four seconds, including opening moves. This guy is nowhere near that bad. bruce
