Apparently Kosteniuk's account logged into the ICC server from several different geographic locations within minutes. While Beccerra was heavily multi-tasking (which the Blitzin software picks up). I don't know how this guy is cheating, and I'm not familiar with Playchess since I play on ICC, but the first thing that occurs to me is the old trick whereby a relatively untalented person can appear to play a very strong game of chess. It's been used in corresponce matches as well as simuls. The "player" simply uses the moves from one game in the other. The two strong players play one another with the "trickster" relaying the moves. Who knows?
