>chess!

you can say that again
and because of it i no longer am a paying member of any chess server
the ratings are meaningless due to the rampant cheating not only of anonymous
players but of registered players as well
i only play as a guest and only unrated games
and even here,cheating is rampant


although it always amazes me how someone playing as a guest still needs to cheat
with a computer
the only thing i can think of is they are testing their engine and dont want to
lose points

but even if someone is logged on as a guest if a computer is being used the
player should announce this before hand

some engines do announce themselves when playing as a guest and of course i
swiftly abort the game

i can play any of 400 dedicated  computers if want to
i dont need to go online to play computers
