Firstly, I'm a crappy player, never got higher than 1580. Or were you talking about my program? Secondly, the format you suggest is flawed. One has a chance to detect computer play over a series of games, if certain elements are present (one of which is that the computer is playing the moves!). To "ferret" out which moves are played by you and which by the computer is impossible. And finally, one cannot verify this sort of thing. Frankly, how could I trust you, my dear anonymous friend? I can find a cheater on a chess server because they are usually kids who just enter the moves, without imagination or deception, or else automated programs. But you could be more wily than that. Will
