i have played on Fics for 3 years
i played 1 0,2 0,3 0 ,5 0  and longer games
i have been cheated on each and every time control i ever played

the same is true for each and every chess server i ever played on
including the US CHESS server not mentioned by Peter

even the new CM10K chess server ,where there are never more then 30-40 players
online at a time , can you now see players cheating with computers

some one else posted a message here that in over 1200 games they were never once
cheated on the ICC
i find this to be beyond credible, bordering on the bizzare even

well cheating is certainly has not been prevented on the ICC Spyware or no
Spyware

even now i will only play as an unrated guest and no longer "pay to play"
due to the rampant cheating
even in unrated games players use computers to make the moves

it makes no sense to debate the obvious cheating incidences that exist on every
server at every time control
better to try somehow,someway to curb it rather then to deny its existence
